Hope Mr. Roberts does well in Atlanta. Seems like a nice guy.

Elaine Stritch had the lead role in the Noel Coward musical "Sail Away" in the early 1960s. Not a success, but gave her "Why Do The Wrong People Travel?" A perfect song for her, and Elaine sang it for the rest of her life." -
Instead she had the biggest hit of her life on Broadway and on tour, "Elaine Stritch: At Liberty" followed by a New York revival of "A Little Night Music."

Words can hurt too, and longer than physical abuse. -
From today's NY Times: Actor Walter Pidgeon. Later Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy, Cole Porter. The late Liz Smith idendifies Kate Hepurn as a lesbian. Scotty is 95, and very much the star.

Not Ella Fitzgerald?

Less true now in Paris where many young people now know English.

@quoththeraven, I only saw Talking Head perform once in concert. It was at the Philadelphia Zoo. It was wonderful, but years later I remember the location more.

Several years ago I saw 'Hamilton' in New York with a friend. Good time. But, we missed President Obama at the previous performance. I met a future hire at Rounds in New York on my birthday, but we did not meet in bed until ten days later.

If I used twitter more often, yes. But, only people who are long-time activists like Joan Baez.

Avalon, I saw the place in the forum in Rome where he was supposedly killed. Wikipedia is not always correct. If you disagree, please send me a PM, so we do not waste space here.

20th centuary Pope Puis XI was 'unavaible' when Hitler visited Rome. In the Forum ruins in Rome there is a place where Caesar supposedly died

Interesting because I liked Jefferson Starship in person, but also Chicago, Janice Joplin, Patti Smith, Judy Garland (1961), Peggy Lee, Judy Collins as well as many all-male bands like U2, The Stones, Talking Heads

I am 74 so the people I have seen the most over many years are Bruce Springteen, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez and also Ella Fizgerald.

+1 for visiting your dad often.

I have digital subscriptions. But I also occasionally buy the newspapers. Here in Phily: The Times is three dollars. The Wall Street Journal is four dollars. Cheap for what you are getting.

The occasional over dependence on Wikipedia.

Yes, I am old enough to remember a little. True of many things at my age (74).

The year Hunter starred in the film "Damn Yankees, " Tony Perkins played the same role on stage in Massachusetts summer theaters, just the ones with the big audiences.

Tab Hunter proformed on Broadway with Tallulah Bankhead in a Tennessee William play. Aguess:The Milk Train doesn't here anymore might have been the title. I'll miss him.

English fans trash an Ikea to celebrate win over Sweden
+ WilliamM replied to marylander1940's topic in The Lounge
I was visiting Amsterdam the year the World Cup took place in Germany. Four years later in Prague when the tournament took place in South Africia. The other side to the violence is the joy when Holland won a match. In 2010, people were for Slovakia in the square near the Jewish Quarter in Prague. I am one hundred percent Scottish so the English fan do not bother much, despite totally stupid stuff. -

An interesting industrial city in northern Spain. My last visit was 1973 when Franco was still alive. Ugh.

@edjames, I liked Barbara Harris in 1965, so might consider seeing it again. But, I agree with everything you wrote.
