Bring on the heat!!!

Posted on 8:51 AM by Unknown
Forty-Seven years ago tonight the Beatles made their American debut on the Ed Sullivan show!  Here is some interesting trivia! 

Who was the act AFTER the Beatles!

Fred Kaps - a "very amusing Magician" - sadly Fred was the only three-time Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques Grand Prix winner which means he was pretty good BUT . . .will never be remembered!

Then after the Beatles SECOND set came the famous Wells & the Four Fays (which no one ever heard from again).

HOWEVER - there was one performer that night which would go on to greatness that at the time nobody had ever heard of.

A singer in the Broadway cast of "Oliver", playing the Artful Dodger was a young man by the name of Davy Jones who 3 years later would would be in the middle of hos own hysteria in a TV show called The Monkees!
-----------------------------------------

Did I mention that if someone is looking for a very good Sci Fi Indi movie they should check out "Moon". No real spoilers here - Set in the near future a guy is alone on a 3 year mining job, alone on the moon. He only has a couple weeks to go before he can go home finally. He has a robot friend and has an accident. He is rescued by his robot friend (Keven Spacy) but something does not seem right.

He travels out to look at the accident and . . discovers himself and rescues himself. Of course now there is a small problem because both him AND himself are having problems figuring out really what is happening.

It's one of those hidden gem movies - very good!



------------------------------------------

Bring on the Heat - we are in for an EXTENDED warming streak which will last a good while! Get your windshield wiper fluid filled as you will need it! After the next day there is no cold anywhere on the horizon and we WILL be near the 40 degree mark for more the a few days! GET YOUR SWIM SUIT OUT!!

-------------------------------------------

Di you see the comments on the paper the other day? Some guy is complaining about changing the light bulbs on the Capitol. How can we change the light bulbs when the State is in so much debt!!!!!

On on the same order there is that T-Mobile Pink dress woman! That is Carly Foulkes AND SHE IS A CANADIAN!! SO IS DEBRA LeCLAIR!! OH MY - how can we be hiring Canadians when America is about to go bankrupt!! (someone was seriously complaining about that).

The dress is a custom-made, vintage-silhouette-inspired dress designed by Debra LeClair.

ANYWAY - inquiring minds wanted to know!
