“To admit that an opponent might be both honest and intelligent is felt to be intolerable. It is more immediately satisfying to shout that he is a fool or a scoundrel, or both, than to find out what he is really like.” — George Orwell He left us 76yrs ago today, aged just 46.

“MAGNUM P.E.I.” SCTV (1982) It’s only a quick sketch — swapping P.I. for P.E.I. (Prince Edward Island) — on a show that launched many stellar careers, but (a) it makes me laugh and (b) it reminds me how much I miss JOHN CANDY.

Of all the design experiments at THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL over the last century none has inspired more stories than the 100,000 gallon ‘reflecting pool’ that separated artists & audiences from 1953 to 1972. (Micky Dolenz leapt into it during a 1967 Monkees’ concert & got them banned)
