LOST SONGS: The Scotsman, Bryan Bowers

Keep the old classics alive. 

Rarely heard outside folk festivals. 

Kilts and penises. Always crowd pleasers.

Bowers and crowd instantly brings to mind ... Stan Rogers.

Just like mom and dad

 

It took decades for kids to kick their mint addictions.

 

Warm welcome

Putin meet-and-greet with Macron

 

Huh? You say something?

 

LOST SONGS: Hunting Tigers out in India, Bonzo Dog Band

The Bonzos were a group of Brit art students in the 1960s.

Many of their hits--Urban Spaceman, Tubas in the Moonlight--are on YouTube.

If you wish to hunt tigers, take their advice.

Pandas playing ice hockey?

 

China's Olympic mascot has inspired this odd series of contemporary

Chinese ink paintings, a riff on ancient art.

 

Olympic Panda Bing Dwen Dwen, 

and his bear pals are re-imagined 

as rock 'em sock 'em stars

But not one panel of the pandas

Facebook/Meta loses $250 billion of its market value in a week.

They blame TikTok, their social rival.

I'd tag Reels, Facebook's TikTok wannabee, their endless feed of lame and obviously staged stunts which now compete with a daily diet of sketchy advertisers as Why Am I Here triggers.

Facebook is the new My Space.

And WTF is that?

 

It works for Putin....

Pre-Justice League

A Hanna-Barbera epic in the late 1970s, Captain Caveman was ahead of his time. The complete series is on YouTube.

If the Teen Angels look kinda familiar, TV's Charlie's Angels was a thing.

Mel Blanc voices the caveman, Gary Owens is the intro voice. Both legends.

Name the horse

So I'm staring out at the snow,

trying to name famous cowboy horses.

 

Yes, that's Roy Rogers and Trigger.

The latter is stuffed and at a museum.

Or is it the other way around?

Would Trigger have stuffed Roy?

 

But what of Gene Autry's horse?

Lash Larue's?

Hopalong Cassidy's?

Hi-yo for the valiant steeds of memory.

 

Name a movie or TV cowboy.

Name his horse.

New Letterman channel on YouTube

_

 David Letterman's new YouTube channel went live this morning with a few dozen classic clips from his Late Shows.

The most-viewed video on Day One is elevator races, above.

New clips are going up thru the day, and the homepage guide is here.

It's nicely done.

"These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s," Dave claims.

Letterman visits Seth Meyers tonight, to pitch the channel and celebrate 40 years of Late Shows.
