favorite cars of the golden era
I don't understand what you mean by 'a waste.' You think I would be destroying a perfectly good vintage car by driving it in the snow and getting road salt on it? Heck, I don't even own a car...walk, bike, public transportation are all I need. But if I decided to buy a one my 'favorite cars of...- Quigley Brown

favorite cars of the golden era
Do you have seat belts in your car? They're obiviously something you would have had to install yourself. At one newspaper I worked at I liked to go through the negative archives that dated back to the 1930s. There were tons of car accident pictures that were marked on the negative sleeve as...- Quigley Brown

Modern Singers, Classic Music?
I think k.d. lang has a more masculine voice than he does. His is just a little too soft and feminine for my taste. That website of his is a bit too slick and too well packaged, also. Ringtones?- Quigley Brown

A disturbing trend
Growing up in rural Iowa I thought 'redneck' was literally having a red neck. Farmers got the backs of their necks sunburnt while doing field work all day. Farm land values as they are...there are a lot of very wealthy rednecks in Iowa...college educated, living in expensive homes and driving...- Quigley Brown

A good observation regarding music...
Well...not to sound cliche, but art IS in the eye of the beholder...and in my eye I don't find a whole lot of artistic value in Third Day's (religious) country tunes. But then...I own every album by Kraftwerk and I don't think a lot of people see much artistic value in their ground-breaking music.- Quigley Brown

How did you start wearing hats?
I was working as a photographer for a newspaper back in Iowa about 15 years ago and started dating this girl who owned a vintage clothes store....she gave me a good discount.- Quigley Brown

Dark Art: What makes a Film Noir
I watched 'Collateral' last evening...Tom Cruise/Jamie Foxx. It's textbook film noir...dark characters, dark plot, set at night. It could have just have easily been made in the 50s with Richard Widmark and Ossie Davis. The flick was okay (I wouldn't have paid to see it in the theater), but...- Quigley Brown

Love on the African Queen
I watched 'The African Queen' on TCM last night...it's been a while... I know it was probably verboten to think such a thing when the movie first came out, but do you think Charlie and Rosie 'did it' that certain night aboard the boat? That next morning... lovey-dovey talk, breakfast in bed...- Quigley Brown

Well, it WAS three in the morning when I watched it. I guess I'll have to view it again when I'm of sound mind....- Quigley Brown

Miller's Crossing
I didn't say anything bad about the wardrobe/sets...they were great. Maybe it was just the Coen style, but like I said I thought the dialog didn't impress me and if it was supposed to be a bit of a satire of gangster films then it didn't work for me. It had it moments, though (that guy...- Quigley Brown

Miller's Crossing
I watched it on Cinemax last night. I was disappointed. I thought the dialog was a bit cliche. Heck, it reminded me of 'Johnny Dangerously' without the humor and containing tons more violence. I did notice that if someone's hat was blowing in the wind or rolling down the stairs that it meant...- Quigley Brown

What Famous Person is the Posterboy/Girl?
David Niven was a true gentleman. ...and what a gentleman he was that evening at the 1974 Academy Awards when the streaker ran across the stage... Turning to the audience he said, "The only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping and showing off his shortcomings"- Quigley Brown

Vintage Eyeglasses
The prices are rediculous. I've found vintage eye glasses at yard sales cheap and had an optician shop put in non-prescription sunglass lenses for about $50 (which was a major purchase for me).- Quigley Brown
