Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Sept 7, 1977: Billy Idol and Generation X taped an appearance on Marc Bolan's TV show, MARC -- technically, their first TV appearance anywhere. Bolan died 9 days later. The band used Granada's instruments to perform. The drum kit was "not returned," so Granada TV issues them a 10 year ban

"'Head' is a comedy with many unusual settings, such as a sewage disposal plant." (Deseret News, Jan 1969)
Utah-Made Movie Slated
Head, a motion picture partially produced at Valley Music Hall, opens today at the Lyric Theater and Woodland Drive-in. It is on the same bill as Pendulum, a suspense-police adventure movie.
Head stars The Monkees, Victor Mature, Annette Funicello, and features many performers from television.

BAD TASTE? ‘l think Dylan’s record was worse’ says Napoleon XlV
THE VOICE OF NAPOLEON XIV DIDN'T crackle across the transatlantic ‘phone. In fact it sounded as though he was talking from the other side of London. But the things he was saying had no relation to the things which thousands of people are paying seven shillings and four pence halfpenny to hear, on a record which has been dubbed ‘tasteless and offensive’. 
“No, I didn't realise there would be much in the way of allegations of bad taste,” said Napoleon, alias New York recording engineer Jerry Samuels, “I don’t think it is in particularly bad taste. Certainly not like "Rainy Day Women or “Let's Go Get Stoned", which I think really are in bad taste. And all these dope songs... But most people I've spoken to have taken the record in the spirit in which it was intended.

It feels weird to say this out loud, but I'm doing everything I can to be a kind & supportive uncle to my only nephew. I'm not saying my aunts and uncles weren't kind & supportive, but very few of them made any real attempts to get to know me. And this kid is growing a good heart.

MOULTY! (Record Mirror, April 2, 1966)
THE BARBARIANS: Moulty: I'll Keep on Seeing You (Stateside SS 497). Definitely the strangest of the week. Talkie bits about a young man's problems. like losing a hand in an accident. and fighting back, and so on — with raving great choruses In between. A hit — or a flop.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

Mind blown -- Melody Maker in the UK reviewed "The Crusher" by Minnesota's the Novas:
THE NOVAS: The Crusher / Take 7 Menden IMO 0940
All about hammerlocks and other wrestling crushing. with a hoarse-voiced Mick McManus-type taking the lead, Droning backing. Obviously amusing; but with a tremendously compulsive best and feel. Could prove a biggie.

It's infuriating that so many Americans really believe everything can go back to normal in 2029. Trump 2.0 has really fucked us, and in many ways it won't be apparent for years (just in time for a Democrat to take blame probably).
