VIDEO VAULT: Great Balls of Fire
Jerry Lee Lewis, cute as a bug and charming as all shit.
Somebody has access to original videotape of the three years the Tom Jones Show was on the air.
Ask your barber for "the Tom Jones cut."
P.S. Jones sez he wants Great Balls of Fire played at his funeral.

It's All About That Bass
_How big is your woofer?
Australia's battle for car sound system supremacy is an annual affair.
But now it's gone international.
Audio car geeks bring their tricked-out rides into the Outback to compare decibels.
There are the usual noise complaints from Sydney, New Zealand and Singapore.

They're running right now in Texas...
Why isn't Trump playing this at his rallies?
It's all about his base.

People are telling me: "Sir, you are such a strong swimmer." Never before has there been such a strong swimmer as me."
And Saturday Night Live was funny
_Drinking game: drink a beer each time Colin Jost and Michael Che laugh louder at their own Weekend Update filler than the SNL studio audience.

"Here's another fine mess you've gotten us into .."
In the 1980s, Toronto's Variety Club hosted a monthly assembly of grown men in odd hats who'd drink and howl at Laurel & Hardy movies.
It was very silly.
Some wore a fez. Some wore a bowler.
I treasure my Sons of the Desert membership card. There are still more than 100 chapters.
Stan and Ollie made more than 100 films, from the 1920s to the 1950s. Were they the first to break the fourth wall: look directly into camera to share a slapstick joke with viewers?
If you get to the seven minute mark above, you may appreciate their genius.

Netflix, where is the Bruce Willis documentary?
From Moonlighting to box-office-breaking action movies, nobody deserves celebration more.
The pic above is from his wry TV detective series with Cybil Shepherd. It's been out of sight forever, victim of countless clearances for the substantial pop music soundtrack.
That's been solved.
Moonlighting currently runs on Hulu in the U.S.
It deserves a wider audience.
Roberta Sá - A Roda | Show Sambasá - Ao Vivo
_
Two dozen Brazilian sambas in a row?
Crazy idea for a concert.
But when it's pop star Roberta Sá and a happy Rio Carnival crowd that knows all the tunes from the world's biggest annual hoohah, it works. Two million dance every year.
If you need instant uplift, it's above.
And lucky for us, Sa's complete 90-minute Sambasá show is HERE.
Below, she strips off the denim for the second tune in the set ...
