This is like calling Robert Mitchum uncool. You just don’t do that.

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

My mother lived in Sylmar when this earthquake hit. Their house was a mess. The nails shook out of the walls of their house and her father hammered them back in.

Martin Turnbull @martinturnbull.bsky.social · Sep 9

Clocks from Olive View Hospital frozen at 6.01am, when the Sylmar earthquake struck on February 9, 1971. The hospital was so badly damaged that it was demolished. With all those clocks stopped at the same time, this photo has a bit of a “Twilight Zone” feel to it, doesn't it?

I just showed my mom a vid of “Walt Disney - A Magical Life.” She said, “This is my whole childhood. This is taking me back.” 🥹 Mom and her family lived in Hollywood and later Sylmar and they loved going to Disneyland. They watched Wonderful World of Color. She remembers using the ticket books.

The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show is a fun, raucous, irreverent show. Elliott Lewis is a TREAT. And you get to hear Phil and Alice sing.

Will McKinley @willmckinley.bsky.social · Jun 25

Happy birthday, Phil Harris — Jack Benny's bandleader, the voice of Baloo and O'Malley the Alley Cat, and the reason my father called guys “Jackson" for his whole life.

But I love him best for the radio sitcom he did w/ his wife Alice Faye. Listen:

Stephen pulled four 20-something guys on a road trip from New Jersey out of the deep sand in the dunes today. He refused money and they put it in his passenger seat without him knowing and drove off. A moment like that reminds you that good people exist in the midst of a lot of ugliness these days.

I’d love to live in it. This is its Zillow link. You’re right, $1M+. Veda pooh-poohs it but it’s bigger than my current house and much bigger than the house I grew up in! #tcmparty www.zillow.com/homedetails/...
