Oh my, the NYT having only one person churning out this piece of dreck.

Def Leppard’s Hysteria album was part of the soundtrack to life when I was in first year university in 1989 in Sherbrooke, QC, lol.

Oh my, more of the The Hill acting like the National Enquirer.

I’ve tended to ignore it all. Still have my US address in Ogdensburg and I want to visit the Van Buren and FDR places in upstate NY, plus visit numerous other historic sites in America.

And Lara Trump was very much involved in that, IIRC. Certainly far more effective than Ronna McDaniel.

Well, they did not stop Mark David Chapman from carrying out his horrible and senseless act of killing John Lennon in December 1980. If my memory serves me correctly, Chapman even legally bought firearms in Hawaii where there had been waiting periods on lawful firearms acquisitions since the 1930s.

Believe that happened to Bobby Hull during a WHA game, lol.

And back in 1936, JFK’s dad and many Hollywood luminaries very admired Hitler.

Neil Young’s “Imagine”.

Same thing goes on up here thanks to the friendly neighbourhood Liberals.

Oh my, Wilton Knight and Captain Pike in this one, eh?

RIP. I know that Robert Clary lived close to the century mark.

RIP. For a while, the jazz station I listen to online would play “Give It All You Got” near the end of the business day and I found that nice and uplifting.

Well, he will likely turn out to be that kind of real disappointment in spite of all of the CBC happy talk here.

You could even show the vintage colour programming from NBC (and the other networks) made between 1958 and 1965 (some of it very groundbreaking in that regard). The Dinah Shore shows that were done in colour videotape and kept for all of these years are really neat to see if you haven’t before. And there were the special variety shows, etc.

Gee, I wonder what this person thought of Janet Reno, eh?

This is why I mentioned the idea of a “PBS Classic” kind of channel to show classic Masterpiece Theatre or Matinee at the Bijou and other PBS shows produced back in the day as there is more than enough of the good stuff produced to enjoy in reruns.

What would also be neat would be to create a kind of “PBS Classic” channel that would feature original Masterpiece Theatre programs with Alistair Cooke or Mystery (Vincent Price and later Diana Rigg hosting) or Once Upon A Classic (Bill Bixby as host) and other PBS programs from the 1970s through 1990s era.

Burns likely makes plenty of bucks from the sales of the videos and books of his documentaries. Sort of like Sesame Street doing the same thing with the toys and books and other such merchandise.
