Interesting piece on Dennis Bryon & Blue Weaver’s contributions to the #BeeGees www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2116...

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet. After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

The pioneering session musician Carol Kaye, 90, was finally recognized by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year, and will be included in its 2025 class via its “musical excellence” category. She promptly announced she was rejecting the honor and would boycott the induction ceremony in November.

NBC has a new trio for Winter Olympics opening ceremony coverage with Mike Tirico covering the Super Bowl.

The prolific singer-songwriter Sonny Curtis died on Friday at age 88. Curtis had performed with Buddy Holly, opened for Elvis Presley and written hits like “I Fought the Law,” “Walk Right Back” and “Love Is All Around” — the theme song for “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” which he also sang.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

With premieres happening whenever, it’s so chaotic that nobody knows when a show is coming back, let alone that it might already have a new season available right now. It can feel just as difficult to stay informed about new shows you might be interested in buttondown.com/NinaWatchesE...

A few years ago, @garyhornseth.bsky.social and I wrote an entire researched local-history article about the Minneapolis phone book that Robert Redford pulls off the shelf at the Washington Post in that scene from "All the President's Men"

I wrote about Robert Redford's environmentalism and, obviously, Sneakers.

The passing of Paul Newman (2008), Sean Connery (2020), Sidney Poitier (2022), and now Robert Redford (2025) signals the slow disappearance of a certain type of 20th century figure: men who embodied classic style in a way that reflected their taste, rather than a professional stylist.

Breaking news: Robert Redford, the big-screen idol turned Oscar-winning director, independent film advocate and environmental activist, died at 89.

I was busy this weekend thinking about obscure TV shows, most of which you can't stream www.allyourscreens.com/reviews/4437...

🎶 It's time to play the music It's time to light the lights... 🎶 📺 #OTD in #TV #History 5 September 1976, #JimHenson's "The #Muppet Show" premiered on television, with #JoelGrey as the guest star. ▶️ youtu.be/5zaQgbACc1E

On this day in 1976, the Bee Gees hit #1 on the Billboard chart with “You Should Be Dancing.” Their disco breakthrough and the first time Barry Gibb unveiled his trademark falsetto. The dance floor was never the same.

Hey @st8ofsk8.bsky.social - since I’m betting we get more Laufey programs this season, thought you’d enjoy: www.cbsnews.com/video/laufey...

Seeing a review of new book “Tonight in Jungleland”, 1975 is one of those years - how different would the rest of 70s music be w/o “Fleetwood Mac”, “Main Course” (Bee Gees), & Springsteen’s “Born to Run”? What other albums from ‘75 should be there?

This is a gem!

This is awesome: a "WKRP in Cincinnati" fan created a three-hour Johnny Fever radio block, by using clips from the TV show and dropping in the full songs on his intros and outros, plus commercials and Les Nessman news breaks.

Why is it that pledge weeks are the time when I watch PBS the least? Also, the best entertainment bundle you’ve never heard of. open.substack.com/pub/toomucht...

Loni Anderson, who played a struggling radio station’s empowered receptionist Jennifer on the hit TV comedy “WKRP in Cincinnati,” has died.

Column: The Corporation for Public Broadcast is ‘winding down.’ What does that mean for public radio and TV? I talk with media studies professor and public media expert Josh Shepperd for an explainer. In short, it's dire Gift 🔗

Because sanity died earlier this year, Trump has RFK Jr. running the new presidential fitness test, which will now involve challenges like drinking raw milk then waiting to see if you die from a listeria infection and swimming a half-mile in a sewage pond. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

So this phrase “able-bodied” has clearly been on the most recent list of R talking points. It comes from the first round of English labor laws, which were instituted after the Black Death. A mini medieval story time!
