I'd like to read The Night Lives On.  I didn't know Walter Lord wrote a follow up book.

It's good! You should check it out.

When did I dismiss Butler? 

Several months back, when I mentioned his speculation in The Other Side of the Night that Captain Lord of the Californian likely was a sociopath. I got into it with someone on Encyclopedia Titanica about that, too, but I maintain my position. But I don't want to get into another argument. 

I must have been in a dismay mood if I did.   

Verrry funny.

Watched this for the first time in a while. The Who playing a Quick One at the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. After this performance no wonder the Stones shelved the film so they didnt suffer in comparison. Also the filming of the performance is great by Michael Lindsay-Hogg.

It's crazy how the other 3 are going ballistic yet the Ox just stands there 

Also he had so many different Basses but none sounded as good as that Fender P.

Ha ha yes.  John was very stolid. But his fingers did all the manic work. Great bass player he was. And yes the sound of that Precision was terrific.

This clip is one of my all-time favorites.

Kathy, it's been years since I last read Walter Lord's A Night To Remember.  The first time I read it was when I was 14 for an eighth grade book report.  The book was written about ten years before that.

I still have the book in my library.  It's time to re-read it.  I'll look for any type of reference.  I'm sure several similar scenes played out that awful night.

ex libris...





...a bit tattered after sixty years but so am I.

^^^^^

Ooh, you have an original copy; nice!

...a bit tattered after sixty years but so am I.   

I hear ya. 

I was going to post this in the "Books" thread, but I'm just going to toss it in here. While searching for my copy of The Night Lives On, I came across this, which I've been impatient to read since about 1999. I've mentioned before that I kept most of my ocean liner books locked away from my kids, but I'm 'way overdue to read them now that I can safely leave them out in the open. I don't believe there were any psychic forewarnings, but George Behe is one of my favorite Titanic authors and I'm curious to hear his take.

Needless to say, I'm with the guy in green. And I should probably watch Fargo.

I thought this was neat. Kind of dreamy and surreal. It gave me renewed appreciation for this beautiful song, too. So many times when I listen to music I'm in the car and not fully paying attention. I should change that.

They were here long before us!
I'd love to buy a cowboy hat and boots. Especially a hat. This baking sun... I've already got burned out here one day. Four months in Turkey didn't help.

I love this, Kathy! Thanks for posting it. It’s one of my favorite Beatles songs. Back in 1986 I heard Gloria Loring sing a modified version of it on Days of Our Lives. I thought, “Hey, I think that’s a Beatles song” but at that time Revolver represented a gap in my Beatles knowledge. It’s hard to imagine that I never heard it again until I bought the 2009 Revolver CD! I thought about it over those years though, and was so happy to hear it again that I almost wore out the repeat button!

I used to love this commercial for Honda scooters with Grace Jones and Adam Ant. And after I saw Quadrophenia I wanted a scooter so bad. (I never did get one, sigh.)
