Lucille Ball In One The Greatest 5 Minutes Of Comedy Ever

Lucille Ball was so far ahead of anyone else when it came to comedy that even after 57 years, this clip from The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour episode called “Lucy Goes to Alaska,” still delivers.

Lucy and the gang are flying to Alaska to see some property Ricky bought. The show starts off by Lucy and her friend Ethel having to share a hotel suite with Red Skelton because no rooms are available. The laughs start when the gang of 4 must sleep in a room with only a single bed. The hotel has only a hammock, army cot and sleeping bag to help out the sleepy friends.

Guess who gets the hammock? How her co-stars managed to keep a straight face, I’ll never know.

Marc Bolan hosted a music TV show in the 1970s, called – wait for it – MARC, a cross between Saturday Night Special and your favourite music video.

Granada Television commissioned Bolan to front the series, which was just fab as he was, indeed, called Marc, and he introduced new and established bands and performed his own songs. By this time Bolan had lost weight, appearing as trim as he had during T. Rex’s earlier heyday. The show was broadcast during the post-school half-hour on ITV earmarked for children and teenagers.

The last episode featured Bolan duetting with his friend David Bowie. Before the song had reached its end, Bolan tripped over a microphone cable and fell off the stage. Bowie is said to have called out “Could we have a wooden box for Marc [to stand on]?”. Following the show Bolan and Bowie co-wrote and recorded a rough outline of a new song, “Madman.” The new wave band Cuddly Toys found a bootleg tape and recorded it, which became a UK Indie Chart single and featured on their Guillotine Theatre album.

The final show was recorded on September 7, 1977, but not broadcast until after Bolan’s funeral on September 20, 1977, which was also attended by David Bowie and Rod Stewart, among others.

The East Bay SPCA video promotes cat adoption while telling a silly, yet touching story of a little girl, woman and older gentleman’s visit to the East Bay SPCA in hopes of adopting a kitten. The kittens promise their potential adopters that they will do whatever it takes to be the best pets ever! Every cute kitten that appears in the video was adopted from the East Bay SPCA.

David Foster Wallace On Why You Need A Dictionary

I urge my students to get a usage dictionary… To recognize that you need a usage dictionary, you have to be paying a level of attention to your own writing that very few people are doing… A usage dictionary is [like] a linguistic hard drive… For me the big trio is a big dictionary, a usage dictionary, a thesaurus — only because I cannot retain and move nimbly around in enough of the language not to need these extra sources.

As a teacher, about 90% of my job is getting the students to understand why they might need one.

A usage dictionary is one of the great bathroom books of all time. Because it has the appeal of trivia, the entries are for the most part brief, and you end up within 48 hours — due to that weird psychological effect — actually drawing on exactly what you learned in some weird, coincidental way.

The Guess Who’s “American Women” Isolated Drums, Bass And Guitar

American Woman by Canadian rock band The Guess Who, was first released in January 1970 on the album of the same name and later in March as a single, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Backed with “No Sugar Tonight,” Billboard ranked it as the No. 3 record of 1970.

Shortly after its release, The Guess Who were invited to play at the White House. Because of its supposed anti-American lyrics, Pat Nixon asked that they not play “American Woman”.

Justin Bieber Nails What Being Famous REALLY Feels Like

It’s because of the way the Justin Bieber brand was portrayed. I was a wholesome pop star who was so amazing who had nice hair and a fucking image that no one could ever live up to. So when all this happened people were like, “Woah, let’s rip him apart”. If you see Gandhi roll up a blunt, it’s different to seeing Ryan Gosling roll up a blunt. You wouldn’t give Ryan Gosling a hard time.

I watched the Amy Winehouse documentary on the plane and I had tears in my eyes because I could see what the media was doing to her, how they were treating her. People thought it was funny to poke her when she was at rock bottom, to keep pushing her down until she had no more of herself. And that’s what they were trying to do to me.

You get lonely, you know, when you’re on the road. People see the glam and the amazing stuff, but they don’t know the other side. This life can rip you apart. [I get depressed] all the time. And I feel isolated. You’re in your hotel room and there are fans all around, paparazzi following you everywhere, and it gets intense. When you can’t go anywhere or do anything alone you get depressed. I would not wish this upon anyone.

I just want people to know I’m human. I’m struggling just to get through the days. I think a lot of people are.
