BUT IS IT ART? \ Why yes . . .it IS! | The Guardians | Vladimir Antaki
The Guardians | Vladimir Antaki
These places are sometimes magical, overloaded with elements, colours and stories, guarded by these characters who are sometimes touching, funny, quirky, and at times frightening.
The photos that I take are often the only memory that this “Guardian” will have of him/herself in their daily environment. This photo can be the only visual record of the existence of this place, the only photographic memory.
People pay less and less attention to their environment. They are always in a hurry, they don’t take the time to spend time with one another. Unfortunately, these places will one day no longer be around. This is one of the reasons that compelled me to want to document these “guardians”.

Birthdays: HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB! {Blackadder}
Aaaah BOB!
Happy belated 66th birthday to Gabrielle Glaister, born on 27 July 1960 in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire!
Blackadder fans know her best as "Bob" — she only appeared in three episodes across two series, but her performances stuck. In Blackadder II's classic episode "Bells," she played Kate, who disguises herself as a boy named Bob to find work, only for Blackadder to fall hopelessly in love with "him." She later returned in Blackadder Goes Forth as Driver Parkhurst, another character nicknamed Bob, a running joke fans still love more than 35 years on.
Before all that, Gabrielle trained with the National Youth Theatre and once played the title role in Oliver Twist opposite a young Ben Elton, long before he became one of Blackadder's writers. Her career has stretched far beyond comedy too, with roles in Brookside as Patricia Farnham, Coronation Street, Midsomer Murders, Sherlock, Unforgotten and Silent Witness, alongside steady work in theatre and radio.
Whether she's remembered as Bob, Patricia, or one of her many other roles, Gabrielle Glaister has been a fixture of British television for over four decades.
Happy belated birthday!

I was terribly saddened to hear of the death of this young actor (36?)and yet wasn’t really familiar with her work on Heroes and the country music series about Nashville but found it telling and a little uncomfortable that not much has been said of her addictions as such (may be too early and we need to wait for the post mortem but at 36 to die pretty clearly of her struggle with addiction to Opioids and Alcohol (a totally lethal combination especially when taken together) needs to be examined and too too many are dying of this addiction it seems to me
Just too too sad
This is The Tom Jones Show 1971 - The Funky Chicken!
Well this will blow a few cobwebs off ( and a few minds perhaps!!?)
Let’s start the day with THE FUNKY CHICKEN!!
An extraordinary programme and an extraordinary idea with Tom not exactly shying away from putting it all out there but that he had bands like Janis and Big Brother and CSNY on his TV prgramme was little sort of astonishing really . . . .mind you it didn’t stop the occasional embarrassing moment hey?

Paul McCartney wrote Step Inside Love for Cilla Black as the theme song to her TV series Cilla. While Cilla’s version is very charming, she cannot match the vocal power and feeling of Madeline Bell.

DANGEROUS MINDS| Lovely article from our Will on Braques and the origins of CUBISM!
The art movement that began as an insult in 1908
Georges Braque and the Cubist Still Life 1928-1945
In the early 20th century, Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso invented Cubism and shook the foundations of Western art. But in the 1930s, as the rise of fascism brought new urgency to questions of aesthetics and politics, Braque's fractured still lifes and bourgeois interiors remained emphatically inward-looking. Yet Braque's painting was not as separate from outside events as Braque might have it, argues Georges Braque and the Cubist Still Life, 1928-1945, the first major U.S. museum exhibition dedicated to the artist in 16 years.

BUTTERBOY TRIBUTE TO: FRANK BEARD
TRIBUTE - FRANK BEARD R.I.P.
BUTTERBOY & KK do the Biz!
Butterboy says:
TRIBUTE
FRANK BEARD R.I.P.
Frank Beard’s passing today feels like the loss of a foundation stone in American rock music. For more than fifty years, he was the pulse of ZZ Top, the drummer whose feel, discipline, and sly rhythmic humour shaped one of the most recognisable sounds in modern blues‑rock. While Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill stood out front with the long beards and the swagger, Frank was the quiet force at the back of the stage, driving every song with a groove that was unmistakably his.
Born on June 11, 1949, Beard grew up absorbing jazz, swing, country, and Texas blues, and he carried all of it into his playing. His shuffle was legendary — crisp, relaxed, and locked so tightly into the pocket that it became a signature of the band. Tracks like La Grange, Tush, Cheap Sunglasses, and Sharp Dressed Man don’t just feature his drumming; they depend on it. His touch gave ZZ Top their swing, their humour, and their sense of motion. He understood space, understood restraint, and understood exactly when to push the band forward.
Frank never chased attention, never demanded the spotlight, and never needed to. His contribution was deeper than showmanship. He was a craftsman, a musician who served the song first and always. Fans loved him for that humility, and fellow drummers admired him for the precision and feel that seemed effortless but was anything but.
His death leaves a genuine ache, for the music, for the history, and for the man himself. ZZ Top’s heartbeat has fallen silent, yet the grooves he created will continue to echo through speakers, stages, and memories for generations. Frank Beard gave rock music a rhythm that will never fade, and today the world feels quieter without him. (B)

A Grammy Salute to the Beatles, Various Artists - The Night that Changed America - Convention Center, Los Angeles, CA, 2014 | Albums That Should Exist
That 1964 episode of the "Ed Sullivan Show" was the highest rated T.V. program in the history of the U.S. up until that point. It installed a massive wave of Beatlemania in the U.S. (The wave had already hit Britain and other countries in 1963.) As I've read about the history of rock and roll, I've noticed many later stars credited this T.V. show for inspiring them to become musicians. That's a list that includes Billy Joel, Tom Petty, John Fogerty, Kenny Loggins, Bruce Springsteen, Ann and Nancy Wilson, Chrissie Hynde, and many, many more. Here's a very good article that lists many music stars and their recollections about that show:
https://ultimateclassicrock.com/beatles-ed-sullivan-rock-stars-remember/
Getting this album ready to post was a little difficult, because the applause at the ends of songs was often cut off for commercial breaks. Also, there were some non-musical sections I cut out. For instance, there were video montages of the lives of each of the four Beatles. I did a lot of work to get the songs to transition from one to another naturally, usually by adding in more applause. Comedian Eric Idle had a lot of funny things to say, but those were all lead-ups to the video montages, so that got cut as well. However, you'll note a lot of other famous non-musicians introduced some of the musical acts.
Surprisingly, not only has this concert never been officially released in any audio format, it hasn't been released on video either (although some "grey market" versions exist). The sound quality is excellent.
This album is an hour and 23 minutes long.
