Adam @babyfonzie.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Every five years or so for quite a while there will be an article that's like "the romance genre is huge, someone needs to give it the attention genres like SF or crime novels got and find the gems" but then that never happens, and this is why. 000
Adam @babyfonzie.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Check out this weird acoustic double neck. It's fretless, maybe for getting harp sounds? It's the Jubilee Singers with Al Jolson. 020
Adam @babyfonzie.bsky.social · 28/09/2026A thing I suspect but don't have evidence for is a wide variety of different men born around the Victorian era from Lovecraft to Bronson are said to have been "dressed as a girl" when they were young, but I think that was just little kid fashion at the time for several ethnicities. 120

Adam @babyfonzie.bsky.social · 22/09/2026In this 1942 Dick Tracy there are "request juke boxes" where you call a phone number from the box and a live woman plays a record for you? Does anyone know if these were real? It doesn't seem very efficient. Why not just have a DJ? It's a tough search term. 110
Adam @babyfonzie.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Last night I had a dream Bill Cosby said Free Palestine and people were like "oh I guess he's not so bad after all". Then we found out he was planning to burn down the school we were at with everyone inside! 130

Adam @babyfonzie.bsky.social · 09/09/2026It's so funl in oral histories when they include a guy who lies all the time in there. In this case I'm talking about John Andrews in Rudolph Grey's Ed Wood book Nightmare of Ecstacy. 010
Adam @babyfonzie.bsky.social · 07/09/2026On the Jerry Lewis telethon im watching on YouTube it's getting late so I was curious who the most exciting young band he's proud to work with would be...it's the McDonald's All-American High School Jazz Band. 020
Adam @babyfonzie.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I never watched the Jerry Lewis telethon when I was a kid and he was on it for the whole time, it's pretty nuts. This 1984 one starts with him mad at the viewers for donation calls slowing down from Midnight-6 am, it takes a while for him to consider "peoe sleep at night" youtu.be/OX01bVV2h-I?...youtu.beThe 1984 Jerry Lewis Telethon Part 2 of 2YouTube video by thetelethonchannel 110

Adam @babyfonzie.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I had forgotten the movie Bruno existed, never saw it. "What if a guy was gay? If he met homophobes would they be happy or mad if he acted just like Andy Dick? " Also he claims a lot of stuff was done illegally with no security which would be impossible to get insured. 120
Adam @babyfonzie.bsky.social · 28/08/2026In talking about his Religulous movie with Bill Maher they talk to a Vatican priest who tells them Jesus wasn't born on December 25th and he's like "he admits it! It's all bullshit, he actually agrees with us!" 120

Adam @babyfonzie.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I'm reading this book and it's pretty entertaining but there's so many editing mistakes and typos. Even the title is weird, it doesn't get brought up til the middle of the book and that's in an offhand way that reads like he addressed it in the intro. And he means Ronin, not samurai? 100

Adam @babyfonzie.bsky.social · 18/08/2026"The Surrealists are kindly devoted to Hegel & Marx, and to the revolution, but what they refuse to do is work. They have things to keep them busy.
