Remembering David Ruffin on his birthday (January 18, 1941 β June 1, 1991) πποΈ
He sang lead on one of my favorite songs ever. "My Girl" is the first song that pops in my head, thinking of generational music. It's rare to meet someone who hasn't heard or doesn't know this song.

Clay Davis is only as iconic as he is because of Isiah Whitlock's performance. Clay is one of the slimiest characters on The Wire, but he's so damn charismatic that you can't help but be enthralled by his performance.
You know he's running a con, but you want to see how it plays out.

The way his smarmy politician mask just drops when he realizes that charm has no effect on Daniels... just masterful acting.

Chris Rea has died at just 74, which really isnβt fair. But I have to say, given his most famous song, itβs impressive timing.

Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films.
What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.

Walt Disneyβs βTrick Or Treatβ, vinyl album from 1974.
The album version is exactly like the animated short, except narrated by Ginny Tyler as Witch Hazel. Side B is Grim Grinning Ghosts, the story & song from The Haunted Mansion.
