Paul Stritch’s first episode. Not one of the more memorable short term characters, but interesting in terms of the conflict between old school cops and fast tracked graduates. (Amusing that Jack talks about how young he is, though. In his first guest episode, Simon Rouse was about 39, so we can assume Jack is a similar age, and he’s a rank above Paul at that point, so you’d assume he’d have made chief inspector at the same age as Paul, if not younger.)
Meanwhile, Nick is continuing along his merry path of cocking up at every given opportunity.

FATHER & SON: James Earl Jones with his Father Robert Earl Jones on Stage in the 1962 Production "Moon on a Rainbow Shawl."
Robert Earl Jones (February 3, 1910 – September 7, 2006), sometimes credited as Earl Jones, was an American actor and professional boxer. One of the first prominent Black film stars, Jones was a living link with the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s, having worked with Langston Hughes early in his career.
Jones was best known for his leading roles in films such as Lying Lips (1939) and later in his career for supporting roles in films such as The Sting (1973), Trading Places (1983), The Cotton Club (1984), and Witness (1985).
Jones was born in northwestern Mississippi; the specific location is unclear as some sources indicate Senatobia, while others suggest nearby Coldwater. He left school at an early age to work as a sharecropper to help his family. He later became a prizefighter. Under the name "Battling Bill Stovall", he was a sparring partner of Joe Louis.
Jones became interested in theater after he moved to Chicago, as one of the thousands leaving the South in the Great Migration. He moved on to New York by the 1930s. He worked with young people in the Works Progress Administration, the largest New Deal agency, through which he met Langston Hughes, a young poet and playwright. Hughes cast him in his 1938 play, Don't You Want to Be Free?.
Jones also entered the film business, appearing in more than twenty films. His film career started with the leading role of a detective in the 1939 race film Lying Lips, written and directed by Oscar Micheaux, and Jones made his next screen appearance in Micheaux's The Notorious Elinor Lee (1940). Jones acted mostly in crime movies and dramas after that, with such highlights as Wild River (1960) and One Potato, Two Potato (1964). In the Oscar-winning 1973 film The Sting, he played Luther Coleman, an aging grifter whose con is requited with murder leading to the eponymous "sting". In the later 20th century, Jones appeared in several other noted films: Trading Places (1983) and Witness (1985).
Toward the end of his life, Jones was noted for his stage portrayal of Creon in The Gospel at Colonus (1988), a black musical version of the Oedipus legend. He also appeared in episodes of the long-running TV shows Lou Grant and Kojak. One of his last stage roles was in a 1991 Broadway production of Mule Bone by Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, another important writer of the Harlem Renaissance. His last film was Rain Without Thunder (1993).
Although blacklisted by the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950s due to involvement with leftist groups, Jones was ultimately honored with a lifetime achievement award by the U.S. National Black Theatre Festival.
Jones was married three times. As a young man, he married Ruth Connolly (died 1986) in 1929; they had a son, James Earl Jones. Jones and Connolly separated before James was born in 1931, and the couple divorced in 1933. Jones did not come to know his son until the mid-1950s. He adopted a second son, Matthew Earl Jones. Jones died on September 7, 2006, in Englewood, New Jersey, from natural causes at age 96.

Hello,
From your recent post talking about music journalists body shaming the Led Zeppelin members, it makes me really sad. I don’t understand why they think it’s ok to make fun of someone’s body. Especially when Bonzo and Jimmy were suffering from substance abuse, and shaming Robert and Jonesy bodies too. I’m disappointed with Lisa Robinson I thought she was one of the good music journalists. I was also wondering is there anything else that she said about them that was very negative?
Hi dearest anon!
I think the moral of the story is really there are no good journalists in this case. There's a reason they all started wearing pins that read "Rock Against Music Journalism" because, to your point, reviewers and writers felt that they had a place to comment on more than the music. Led Zeppelin was critically panned...as if that even mattered. Journalists are there to craft a story. They're enhancing reality to splash it on a page. So, perhaps in this case, she felt righteous enough to speak to that.
It's terrible that they commented on their bodies. But it's also nothing new. The more the media points out what bodies shouldn't look like and the more we consume it, the more time and energy we waste hating ourselves. It doesn't just impacts those receiving critique, but everyone hearing it as well.
Also, let's think about how incensed we are that writers wrote about their bodies (especially in the throes of addiction). We're incensed because that's terrible but also because we've been taken off guard. We aren't used to men being commented on in such a way. They don't show up as often in the tabloids with splashy lettering that says "wow, look at that cellulite!". For women, judgment of bodies is implicit, expected, nourished. Just food for thought.
To that end, that's the cult of celebrity. The reason that the media focuses so much on celebrities and every little thing about them is so that we can be distracted by all the other issues at hand, like horrific bills being passed and corruption of politicians. I'm not saying let's stop indulging in what celebrities and art give us, but we do need to be discerning about what we consume and why it's out there.
So...is it worth me going through Lisa Robinson's backlog of articles written about Zeppelin to see how she panned them personally? I don't think it is. We know what we know and we know what we like. Fuck anyone else who feels the need to be perverse in their commentary in such a lowbrow way.
A disclaimer, I don't think journalism is bad. Music journalists in the 70s for the most part just sucked. Except for Steven Rosen because John Paul Jones called him a cunt. I love him for that.

(62 YEARS AGO)
September 1, 1961 - John Coltrane: Africa/Brass is released.
# ALL THINGS MUSIC PLUS+ 4/5
# Allmusic 4.5/5
# Down Beat 2/5
Africa/Brass is the eighth studio album by John Coltrane, released on September 1, 1961.
Recorded:
May 23, 1961 and June 7, 1961, at RVG's Englewood Cliffs studio
Personnel:
John Coltrane – soprano and tenor saxophone
Booker Little – trumpet
Julius Watkins, Bob Northern, Donald Corrado, Robert Swisshelm – french horn
Bill Barber – tuba
Pat Patrick – baritone saxophone
McCoy Tyner – piano
Reggie Workman – bass
Elvin Jones – drums
__________
ORIGINAL LINER NOTES
John Coltrane is a quiet, powerfully-built young man who plays tenor saxophone quite unlike anyone in all of jazz. His style has been described as "sheets of sound" or as "flurries of melody." But, despite the accuracy, or lack of accuracy, of such descriptions, it is a fact that Coltrane's style is wholly original and of growing influence among new tenor players.
Perhaps he himself best described his dazzling style in a recent Down Beat article with writer Don DeMichael. "I started experimenting because I was trying for more individual development. I even tried the long, rapid lines that Ira Gitler termed 'sheets of sound' at the time. But actually, I was beginning to apply the three-to-one chord approach and at this time the tendency was to play the entire scale of each chord. Therefore, they were usually played fast and sometimes sounded like glisses."
Although Coltrane has absorbed this experiment into his present style and moved on, its effect was shocking, and intriguing, in the jazz world.
Most recently, as this album will attest, Coltrane has become absorbed by the rhythms of Africa. During the editing sessions for this album he noted, "There has been an influence of African rhythms in American jazz. It seems there are some things jazz can borrow harmonically, but I've been knocking myself out seeking something rhythmic. But nothing swings like 4/4. These implied rhythms give variety."
For this record, Coltrane composed two of the three selections, then discussed the orchestration thoroughly with Eric Dolphy, a reed player of enormous talent. Pianist McCoy Tyner of Coltrane's group was the third member of the discussion group.
"Actually," Dolphy recalled, "All I did was orchestrate. Basically John and McCoy worked out the whole thing. And it all came from John; he knew exactly what he wanted. And that was, essentially, the feeling of his group."
AFRICA has an unusual form. Its melody had to be stated in the background because Coltrane is not tied down by chords. "I had a sound that I wanted to hear," Coltrane remarked of this composition. "And what resulted was about it. I wanted the band to have a drone. We used two basses. The main line carries all the way through the tune. One bass plays almost all the way through. The other has rhythmic lines around it. Reggie and Art have worked together, and they know how to give and take." This work began with Coltrane's quartet. He listened to many African records for rhythmic inspiration. One had a bass line like a chant, and the group used it, working it into different tunes. In Los Angeles, John hit on using African rhythms instead of 4/4, and the work began to take shape. Tyner began to work chords into the structure, and, in John's own words, "it's been growing ever since."
The instrumentation--trumpet, four French horns, alto sax, baritone sax, two euphoniums, two basses, piano, drums, and tuba--is among the most unusual in jazz. But, Dolphy explained, "John thought of this sound. He wanted brass, he wanted baritone horns, he wanted that mellow sound and power."
Coltrane heard the playbacks and nodded. "It's the first time I've done any tune with that kind of rhythmic background. I've done things in 3/4 and 4/4. On the whole, I'm quite pleased with Africa."
GREEN SLEEVES is an updating of the old, revered folk song. It's included in this set because Coltrane, in recent months, has been studying folk music. "It's one of the most beautiful folk melodies I've heard," he said. "It's written in 6/8, and we do it just about as written. There's a section for improvisation with a vamp to blow on."
The quartet has been playing this theme recently, and the arrangement is based on Tyner's chords. Dolphy notated it. "For me," Coltrane said, "Greensleeves is the most enjoyable to play. Most of the time we get a nice pulse and groove. It was a challenge to add the band to it. I wanted to keep the feeling of the quartet. That's why we took the same voicings and the same rhythm McCoy comps in."
BLUES MINOR is a piece the quartet has been playing of late. It was assembled at the recording session. "It's a head," Dolphy said. "McCoy gave me the notes. I wrote out the parts, and the band did it on one take." It swings loosely with the ease and drive of a head arrangement.
All in all, this album is representative of the state of musical mind of John Coltrane, 34, on his way to something new and exciting, but pausing along the way to sum up the fresh and provocative work he has accomplished this far.

Derek gets more than he’s bargained for when he clips a car’s side mirror on the way to a speech and Tony’s idea of discretion does Derek more harm than good.

Starring some 80s TV icons – William Katt (The Greatest American Hero, 1981-1983), George Wendt (Cheers, 1982-1993), Richard Moll (Night Court, 1984-1992) – the cast, crew, and effects give them plenty to talk about and there’s plenty of taglines for Chad’s return. Welcome back, brother!
At the time of this writing, House is available to stream from Tubi, PlutoTV, and Amazon Prime, as well as multiple PPV sources, and on physical media as a Blu-ray from Arrow Video.
Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film chosen by Chad, will be Spookies (1985), a film whose making-of story might be more interesting than the movie itself.

This question is, is it ever justified to torture an individual to save the lives of many? And if the answer is yes, how far can you go? This issue is indeed a very sensitive subject and I think it takes guts for any filmmaker to put it out there in the open like Gregor Jordan did. Add to that the clever fact that he doesn’t actually make a choice, but rather lets the audience decide on whatever they want to think and feel, and you have a pretty gutsy and controversial concept. In a nutshell, this film is about a man of American descent who has become a Muslim and has now, as an act of terrorism, planted 3 nuclear bombs in 3 major American cities which will go off in four days. Screenwriter Peter Woodward made some very tactical decisions considering the characters in the story. They are all somewhat stereotypical, but this is no bother because they’re all there for a reason. Carrie-Anne Moss, as an FBI investigator, represents the conscience, the sensitivity and the struggle to make the right decision. Samuel L. Jackson is her polar opposite; the brutal, rational, stone cold “interrogator” who does what he does because he’s the only one who can and willing to do it. The means he is willing to go to in order to get his subject to talk ...

'The Ham Reporter' Book Review By Ron Fortier
New Post has been published on https://esonetwork.com/the-ham-reporter-book-review-by-ron-fortier/
'The Ham Reporter' Book Review By Ron Fortier
Tumblr media
THE HAM REPORTER By Robert J. Randisi Double Day Western 370 pgs
When picking up this volume, we noted the sub-titles being “A Novel of Bat Masterson in Twentieth-Century New York.” Randisi sets his creative imagination post Wild West life and career of the legendary lawman who once fought alongside other larger-than-life figures such as Wyatt Earp and Wild Bill Hickock. Seeing the frontier succumbing to civilization, Masterson and his wife Emma migrated to the booming metropolis on the Hudson, New York City. There the one-time law-dog became a famous sports writer and eventual publisher.
As the tale opens, one of Masterson’s colleagues and fellow drinking mates, Inkspot Jones, a sports writer, suddenly goes missing. Attempts to involve his police detective friend, Charles Becker, prove fruitless. It is assumed the writer is simply on some drinking jaunt from which he’ll eventually resurface. Tragically it is the fellow’s corpse that floats to the surface thus morphing the missing person’s case as one of cold-blooded murder. Having no faith in the police’s ability to solve the crime, Masterson takes it upon himself to find the killer and provide Jones’ widow with some kind of justice.
Aiding him in the hunt is popular paper columnist, Damon Runyon. As the duo of amateur detectives begin to gather information on Jones’ last days, it soon becomes evident that the dead man had crossed paths with one of the Big Apple’s several crime lords. And in doing has suffered the consequences. Soon Masterson discovers the back alleys of the big city are just as dangerous as the streets of Doge City and Tombstone.
“The Ham Reporter” is a brilliant work of historical fiction wonderfully put forth by a craftsman. Randisi’s prose is fun and he spins his tall tale with vigor and affection guiding the reader to a fitting, gun-blasting climax. Our copy was picked up at a used bookstore. Here’s hoping you can find your own. It is truly worth looking for.

Heartwarming Dog Love Quotes for Your Furry Friend
Tumblr media
There's a special kind of bond that exists between humans and their canine companions. The unwavering loyalty, unconditional love, and joyful presence of dogs make them more than just pets; they become beloved members of the family. It's no wonder that throughout history, poets, writers, and thinkers have attempted to capture the essence of this connection through dog love quotes. In this article, we'll explore a collection of heartwarming dog love quotes that perfectly encapsulate the profound relationship between humans and their furry friends.
1. "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself." - Josh Billings
This quote by Josh Billings beautifully encapsulates the selfless and genuine nature of a dog's love. Dogs don't judge or hold grudges; their love is pure and unconditional, making them true companions in every sense of the word.
2. "Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen." - Orhan Pamuk
Orhan Pamuk's quote reminds us that communication with our dogs goes beyond barks and wagging tails. It's about understanding their body language, expressions, and emotions. When we listen closely, we can truly hear the love and companionship they're offering.

3. "The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog." - M.K. Clinton
M.K. Clinton's quote emphasizes the valuable lesson we can learn from our canine friends – the art of unconditional love. Dogs don't love based on appearances or circumstances; their love knows no bounds, and if we could mirror this kind of love, the world would undoubtedly be a better place.
4. "Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them and filling an emptiness we didn't ever know we had." - Thom Jones
In this quote by Thom Jones, the idea of dogs as healers and comforters is beautifully depicted. Dogs seem to have an innate ability to sense our emotions and offer solace during our times of need, often becoming the glue that holds us together during difficult times.
5. "A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won't be too bad." - Robert Wagner
Robert Wagner's quote is a gentle reminder that the presence of a dog brings an irreplaceable sense of joy and comfort. In a world full of uncertainties, a dog's steadfast affection provides a sense of stability and happiness that can brighten even the darkest days.
6. "The greatest pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too." - Samuel Butler
Samuel Butler's quote captures the playful and carefree nature of the human-dog relationship. Dogs don't judge our silliness; instead, they revel in it, creating an environment where we can be our truest selves without fear of criticism.
7. "Happiness is a warm puppy." - Charles M. Schulz
Charles M. Schulz's simple yet profound quote speaks volumes about the joy a dog brings into our lives. The simple act of being in a dog's company can uplift our spirits and bring about a deep sense of contentment.
8. "Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole." - Roger Caras
Roger Caras' quote encapsulates the idea that while dogs may not be the entirety of our lives, they certainly enrich and complete our existence in ways we may not even realize until they are by our side.
9. "Dogs are like that, I guess. They know how to fix you without saying a word." - Caroline George
Caroline George's quote beautifully illustrates the healing power of dogs. Their presence alone can mend our broken spirits and offer solace during challenging times, even when they don't utter a single word.
10. "My little dog – a heartbeat at my feet." - Edith Wharton
Edith Wharton's quote poetically captures the profound connection between a dog and its owner. The steady and comforting presence of a dog can be likened to a steady heartbeat, offering a sense of companionship that's both soothing and reassuring.
In conclusion
These heartwarming dog love quotes serve as a testament to the deep and meaningful relationships humans share with their furry friends. Dogs are more than just pets; they are sources of unconditional love, joy, and companionship that enrich our lives in immeasurable ways. Whether we're seeking solace, sharing laughter, or finding comfort, our canine companions are always there, ready to offer their unwavering devotion and companionship. So, take a moment to cherish your furry friend and reflect on the beautiful bond that has been celebrated through these poignant quotes.
