Gooood evening ya'll, how are you?

Finished up 'The Revolt of the Angels' by Anatole France, review to come.

Have a great weekend, hope the weather is beautiful wherever this finds you.

Thanks so much for your continued support.

1. "Tough Without a Gun: The Life and extraordinary afterlife of Humphrey Bogart

Absolutely reading this one. 

My wife was listening to a Bill Maher podcast with Jon Hamm of Madmen, and he recommended it.

2. Executive Slacks - The Bus

What a strange track. 80's oddity.

3. Cormac McCarthy's Friend Dennis Francis

A great interview about McCarthy with a good friend of his from way back in Tennessee.

I guess John Sheddan, from 'The Passenger', was a real individual.

4. Pixies - Tame

I can't get over how cool that band was.

Crowd is so great. That dude going nuts in the lower-right at 0:37.

Man, that's what it's all about.

Here's the original. The whole album is perfect.

5. Key Largo

Inspired by item #1: Classic Noir with Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, and Edward G. ("Myaaah, see?") Robinson.

Came across this fellow and was very glad I spotted him for more than one reason considering I was wearing flip-flops.

Washed up...ehhh Blowfish?

Thanks, in particular, for this interview about McCarthy, man. Being so busy, I've found it hard to figure out how to honour the man's passing: I am now listening to "Suttree" as an audiobook (a revisit to that book). It works really well. A recommendation, if others find themselves as busy as I've felt recently, would definitely be "Suttree" on audio. And man! - I'm getting that Bogart book! Have you seen "High Sierra," Cliff? I just love how "tight" films were at that time. They're fun. The pacing is tight, the characterization is great . . . I would also read "In a Lonely Place," I think, and watch that film if you're going to review it!
