    WTB Stratoliner Hat Pin

    I've been wearing the TWA Lockheed Electra on mine lately, just to shake 'em up. Built 1937, it flew with TWA from 1940-1945. -dixon cannon

    The New National Museum of the Marine Corps

    Nashoba, I'm curious - was there any display or mention of the Guadalcanal 'George Medal' created and issued by the 1st Division Marines on Guadalcanal in '42? I hope there was. If not I need to write them and tell them to get on it! That's Marine history! -dixon cannon

    Great songs remade

    Also, the entire soundtrack from the film 'Duets'. Who knew Gwyneth Paltrow was such a great singer!? Oh, and the soundtrack from the film, 'Little Voice' with all those great tunes sung by Jane Horrocks. Very nice! -dixon cannon

    Great songs remade

    I actually met Colin James in an elevator at the River Rocks Resort in Vancouver. He was playing along with Burton Cummings and several other Canadian acts for a benefit. He was surprised that some Yank knew who he was! 'Freedom' is the greatest! -dixon cannon

    Funniest scenes in cinema history

    Funniest scene I ever seen... Jonathon Winters 'gas station' scene in It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. When the scene cuts to him riding that broken down bicycle after Phil Silvers leave him stranded, I just howl! That is comedy at it's best. :eusa_clap...

    Bolo Ties-- Acceptable Alternative or Novelty Oddity?

    Time was when everybody in this state wore a Bolo Tie, it seems. You see less and less of them now since Bill Close retired from local TV news! Scottsdale has a plethora of Bolo's in all of the touristy silver and turquoise shops. One would have to be pretty hardcore nuevo-cowboy to sport one...

    WHO REMEMBERS EDGAR BERGEN ?

    Did you know that Bergen started out to be a photographer? He sent away for a mail order photography course but was sent the ventriloquism course in error. He didn't have the money to re-buy the course he wanted, so he kept the one he received and studied it instead. The is history! -dixon...

    Why do I hate the 1960s so much?

    Hear! Hear!!... My sentiments exactly. It was the 'Golden Era' of Rock & Roll. I ask you this; In 1965, was it likely that you'ld turn on the radio and hear a song from 1925 or 1935 and recall it with vivid ideation and happiness?...not even likely. But today, it is not unusual at all to...

    Why do I hate the 1960s so much?

    Saying what one will, long after we're gone and forgotten, James, John, George and Richard will be remembered for their cultural contributions much as Mozart and Oscar Wilde are remembered today. Every new generation of children pick up on it as soon as they can talk, singing...

    Revolution? Hording? Madness?

    When one considers that most of the destruction and death on this planet has been perpetrated by governments, paranoia is not illogical, it's pragmatic. It's the reason the Declaration of Independence was written and the reason the Constitution of the United States of America was constructed...

    Revolution? Hording? Madness?

    Yes. You may have opened a hornet's nest here, UT, but I'll wade in as I usually do. The reality is this has been brewing since 1913, exacerbated in 1933 by the New Deal, fueled by the 'Nixon Shock of '71 and the end of Bretton Woods. The subsequent years have just been tax, spend, debt and...
