Wifeepoo went down the Bridgeton "rabbit hole" again. She binged "Queen Charlotte" in one and a half days. Crazy. She had to be up at 7:30 for work at the University and went to bed at 2:30 am. What is it with this royals stuff? For me to stay up that late there'd better be a whole lot...
"Wichita" - A mid fifties "Oater" bout Wyatt Earp's taming of Wichita Kansas BEFORE he moved on to Dodge City and later, Tombstone. Earp is played with stoic earnestness by Joel McRea with Vera Miles as his love interest. Standard fare for its time. Earp rides into a lawless cattle town...
That's the kind of story I like to hear about a "professional musician". We've many venues here in the Capital District of New York. As a musician you hear a lot of apocryphal stories of famous folks acting like asshats on and off the stage. One of the stories that rankled me most was when...
Came across this when I toured the Vanson factory in Newburyport, Mass many years ago. I did a write up you might be able to find in the archives. Talk about a mean green motoring outfit!

Green Jacket of indeterminate age made by an outfit calling themselves "The Original Leather Line". "Established a Long Time Ago, New York City". Don't know if they're still in existence I got this one off da Bay. Fits better now as I've lost more'n a few since this was taken.

Wearing my old Steerhide Aero Highwayman bought used off da Bay. Just had the zipper repaired by the fine folks at Johnson Leathers in Frisco. Came out smashing, per usual. No pics of this jacket at the moment but I'll get some soon. Need help identifying the age, its got one of those weird...
"Better Than Us" - Netflix first (and probably last for a while) Russian television series. Set in a near future. Bots do the grunt work, dirty work and ahem... sex work for a pretty nihilistic Russian society. Much like "I Robot", they use and quote Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics" and...
I've seen this flick a couple of times. Believe it or not, I find his broken hat so distracting that it pulls me out of the film every time I see him in it. What self respecting Detective of that era would walk around looking homeless? I KNOW it was done on purpose but DAMN! Didn't anyone...
DON'T and I mean DON'T view the current HBO offering as a prequel to the long running TV series of the 50's/60's. They're as different as chocolate and charcoal. They only resemble each other in the names of the characters and that's it. The OLD Perry Mason was Science Fiction compared to the...
My mother LOVED Mr. Belafonte. The man was a stunner. I must've heard his "Live at Carnegie Hall" album on our old pink and beige "High Fidelity" portable a thousand times if I heard it once. Excellent singer, master performer, decent actor and true champion for human rights. Had a popular...
Being an old curmudgeon, I've been on multiple forums and websites... I've watched em come and watched em go. Some go out like a supernova, others just fade away like morning fog. This is the ONLY forum I come to on a daily basis. I've came in knowing nothing about leather jackets and vintage...
Side note.... I rarely watch much broadcast TV. However we've gotten hooked on this ABC series called "Will Trent". I love the show (don't know if it'll be renewed) but one thing I HATE is the multi-week mid-season hiatus' that they take. Say what you will about premium streaming... they don't...
Thought I posted this one but it didn't seem to take.
Errol Flynn Double Feature. "Dawn Patrol" and "Charge of the Light Brigade". Both starring Flynn, Donald Crisp and David Niven. Seen em both tons of times but love em still. Tales of daring Do for "King/Queen and Country". The latter...
"The Mandalorian" - Boy has this one devolved into a stinking pile. I was never a "Star Wars" fan outside the original trilogy. That said I did like the first two seasons of this show... now it's not only terrible television but boring as well. Just battles and shootouts strung together by no...
Snarf.... more like Crusty Ole Ladies for Brady"! Trust me, as a charter member of "Raider Nation" since the Heidi Game in '68, I've hated Brady and the Patriots with a passion and vigor usually reserved for Satan himself. Why? "The Tuck Rule" AFC Championship. Look it up.... Must stop now...
60 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday... 30 degrees this morning. I can't stand it. Wore an A2 yesterday, Shearling lined ThunderBay and gloves today!!!!
Umbreyago! These are the conditions that prevail!
