There is a certain chaotic element to the street corner brass bands that really draws me in. I like the way it sounds like they are about to completely fall apart, but seem to just keep it between the lines.

As strange as it might seem for a personality so identified with the 70s, Gloria V was a major personality of the Depression era -- as the center of one of the muckiest public courtroom disputes of the decade. The battle over her custody as a ten-year-old kept the greasiest reporters on the New York tabloids busy for months --
The "stains on her character" for Little Gloria's mother Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt referred to allegations that she had engaged in a torrid lesbian affair with a minor member of the Russian-turned-British nobility, allegations based on the keyhole testimony of said noblewoman's upstairs maid. The senior Gloria was also said to be carrying on with a lesser Hohenzollern -- and much was made in the straphanger press about her apparent taste for unemployed aristocrats.
Little Gloria, thru all this, was slung around like a bag of mail -- and it's a wonder she managed to survive such a childhood with sanity intact.
(And if that's bad, I wonder what ever happened to poor Joan Donnelly there...)

The very fact that Arte Johnson was 90 and that more and more of his generation are leaving us only reinforces the unpleasant realization that I too have less days in front of me than behind me. Where have the years gone?Arthur Stanton Eric "Arte" Johnson has died of heart failure following a three-year battle with bladder and prostate cancer. He was 90 years old.
