A Question I Already Know the Answer to
Yeah, I know. Couldn’t decide between the two, so you get both.
Abuse of Equivalence
Nice try, though

And now I don’t believe Bill Whittle attended that show
Always liked and trusted Bill Whittle. He’s never given me reason to doubt him;
and what he said is compatible with what I know about mentalism;
but now that I know he knows how to do it, how can I completely trust his story?
There’s a big difference between calling someone a dadburned liar and
merely stamping “plausible but unverified” on the information they provide.
[taps ash off cigar, sips drink, leans back, closes eyes, grins the grin of the easily entertained]
Thanks, Bill.
I enjoyed that.
Cool story, bruh.
Note: threw in a bunch of tags to hopefully snag anybody searching for the old site
Old School Cool (Peter Gunn, Henry Mancini)
Y’know, sometimes a feller’s just gotta go back through a squeaky door or two and revisit the things that provided his cultural base. For me, that was the TV and music of my youth: before James Bond, and before the Beatles and hippies spoiled music.
Tell me Gunn wasn’t Bond cool, before there was Bond
Today, it’s Peter Gunn (ep 1:1).
The key, here, is the early Henry Mancini: his Peter Gunn cool lasted into The Pink Panther with only flashes surfacing as his famous commercial music evolved.
Yeah, I miss old-school cool
[opens desk drawer, strokes slide rule, closes drawer]
Note: the design on that Peter Gunn album cover still makes me queasy.
Reminds me of the post-apocalypse horror movie Day the World Ended ’56.
Scared the bejeezus out’a me as a kid.
