Nice to hear this, it almost goes without saying. But listening to George tell it like it is accompanied by these photos from all through his long career really hits home. In some of those shots taken from the 50s and 60s album covers he looks so damn young, handsome and earnest! Then I think abo...

@hackensac Because producer William Snyder approached Gene about doing so for MGM, who apparently still were interested in theatrical cartoon product despite having closed their own studio a few short years earlier. Mind you, Chuck Jones wasn't exactly a fan of the Hanna and Barbera MGM Tom and J...

Golly! A Gibson ES-5 Swithchmaster!!

Say what one will about the butchered and appropriated Spanish "spoken" in Speedy cartoons, but I know of at least one where there's a Mexican mouse Mayor who exclaims, "oy, gevalt!" in the midst of some dialogue.

"The gringo Bugs Bunny...I like heem. El loco canejo."

Not to in the least diminish the gravitas of the legendary Hal Simms, but no one could intone the words "this program was recorded" quite like he. CBS utility man par excellence.

And another thing: the FILM was based on a PAMPHLET by students of Boas, in the interest of union organizing in the American south. Save the rationalizations for StormFront.

@EugenieFranval2 If Brinkley is, as you say a 'leftist historian,' then he's the first of that stripe to author a book about Reagan and speak at the Reagan Presidential library on the occasion of the centenary of Reagan's birth.

John, George, Dylan, Taj Mahal, and Leon Russell (to name oh so few of JED's colloaborators) sure had good taste, hunh?

@RoyFive It certainly is, and what a performance!!!!!

Ain't NO substitute for a Les Paul with P-90s in the hands of Freddy King!

Hey ho young Keef!!!

Dig that '57 Plymouth Fury!

That lil' hombre DOES talk funny from 3:55-3:59!

Not used to seeing the late Mr. Duncan looking -- or sounding -- quite like this. Nice one! The tune and performance, that is. Same goes for that Gibson Barney Kessel model guitar in his hands! "Hee Haw," obviously, but I'm wondering from what year? '69 or '70?

From 2:07-5:53, those who appreciate the finest lighter moments in on-screen Western acting performances can delight in witnessing four masters playing off one another seamlessly. As for Mr. Oates and Mr, Martin, they ain't strickly bad men (but what perfect bad men)!!

Imagine...here I am watching a vintage Gunsmoke episode for the simple reason that I'm not as well-versed as I should be in the Dennis Weaver Chester era, and who do I see? Warren Oates and Strother Martin! Is that serendipity or what?!?
