@Marionville I told this 1st gig tale to a customer of mine. She asked was it at the Liverpool Empire "yes". "Who was the support?" I replied "A band called the Groundhogs". "Oh my 1st gig was the Stones there too but the support was Ike and Tina Turner". One upped. Though the best gig story I heard was from an old American guy I met via my ex. He had re-married and they had been traveling. Consequently he was without any music so I sent him a jazz mix tape. He then sent me a thank you letter with this tale. " Dear Kelvin thank you for the tape and its so apt that that you included ....... ... It was before the war and me and my cousin used to sneak out to 42nd st and visit a small club. We were both only 14 but so long as we ordered a coke and sat on the floor no one bothered us. Then one night my cousin said "lets go somewhere else." I argued that we could get in our usual place but he was all up for trying elsewhere. So we snuck passed the guys on the door and went down into this small jazz club. Who was playing? Billie Holiday"

They say things like "Hi babe your sexy etc." then get you to talk off-site You will get some glamour pics. Then comes "I really want to meet you but can you join this validation site 1st. So I can be safe. Just give your credit card # but its free" African ones They say they live in your country but for some reason are in Africa working in health care or with animals.

Tonight I went to a showing of the Beatles movie Hard Days Night.

Eclipsechaser comments on Jul 30, 2018:

I'm astonished at how much the Beatles packed into their short time together. For example, while filming A Hard Days Night, there was a day in which they recorded the title song in the studio, then went to shoot more of the film, then had a photo shoot somewhere else in the evening. On another day, ...

BULLITT -- Arguably one of the best pure car chases in cinematic history.

273kelvin comments on Jul 29, 2018:

Possibly topped by "the French connection". The same stunt coordinator as "Bullitt". The director asked him to outdo himself, so he said "So you really want that" to which of course he said "Yes". He then proceeded to so it for real, in traffic!

@Snickers77 Nit picking there I think. It was a chase involving a car. Btw if you ever visit NY. Read the book, it comes with a map and by the time you finish it. You will know the geography like a native

You think Benny Hill has a good sense of humour?

273kelvin replies on Jul 29, 2018:

Two anecdotes about Benny. First one was on the set of the Italian job. Where he and Robert Powell shared a trailer. They were rained of for nearly a month during filming. At the end Powell had to tell Benny to stop making him laugh as he was in danger of cracking a rib. Second one was when Benny met Charlie Chaplin's son. He showed Benny his dads study. In it was a whole shelf of Bennys videos.

Partyhawk comments on Jul 28, 2018:

I always enjoyed watching Steve McQueen and the car chase, his Mustang vs that Charger (my favorite is a '69' Charger, 440/4-barrel, Hurst 4speed, Keystone Rims) was such a wild ride. I think we all learned how to drive wild after watching that scene.

@RoadGlider FYI, They went though 4 Mustangs in that scene but the Charger stayed intact.
