Etson, I read that Michael Caine’s career took off here in the US, first because he was so cute and such a great actor and a Brit, but also because we thought that his cockney self was a hell of a lot more appealing as an actor than a lot of the Brit public did.
All those nutty commodity traders from the City has serious cockney accents…
Can you speak cockney? Mixing up words into code by sound?
Biff and I will assume our usual positions (nh) at Montero tomorrow night, where we will be joined by some of our non-blog friends and some special invited guests. As always, the more PLUSAs to witness our public flogging, the better.
ENY, since you love Louis Armstrong, you really, really should come hear Biff sing karaoke — most especially rap — AS Louis Armstrong. You’ll never think of Louis Armstrong in quite the same way again! (J/K Biff!!) . . . Then again, Biff sings like Pavarotti compared to my Tom Bosley renditions of most anything.
Oh, and drinks will be served. And Pepe serves (free) hot dogs between 1am-2am.
“Yeah. You had the president breaking the law, radical, home-grown terrorists robbing banks and killing police officers, riots in nearly every major city, blackouts, and war. The good old days.”
I read a book last summer which knocked my socks off.
Nixonland by Rick Perlstein, a young historian. It traced the political career of Richard Nixon and by doing so took a very detailed trip down memory lane and the events/politics of the 60’s, early 70’s. It really brought back memories of how truly crazy those times were. I remember the spring/summer of 1968 and holy moly, what a nuthouse world that was…
