"For your eyes (and ears) only

Last edited Sun Sep 24, 2017, 10:59 PM - Edit history (2)



and now for a classic movie, which identifies online agents and feels like "home."

HERE IS A "MUST SAVE" VERY EARLY JEFFERSONS GHOST SLIDE SHOW


Finally, another kind of sympathy song...

Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger, who had already been punched in the head by a concertgoer within seconds of emerging from his helicopter,[12][13] was visibly intimidated by the unruly situation and urged everyone to, "Just be cool down in the front there, don't push around." During the third song, "Sympathy for the Devil", a fight erupted in the front of the crowd at the foot of the stage, prompting the Stones to pause their set while the Angels restored order. After a lengthy pause and another appeal for calm, the band restarted the song and continued their set with less incident until the start of "Under My Thumb". Some of the Hells Angels, who were hired as security for beer, got into a scuffle with Meredith Hunter, age 18, when he attempted to get onstage with other fans.

Following his initial scuffle with the Hells Angels as he tried to climb onstage,[citation needed] Hunter (as seen in concert footage wearing a bright lime-green suit) returned to the front of the crowd and allegedly drew a long-barreled .22 caliber revolver from inside his jacket. Hells Angel Alan Passaro, seeing Hunter drawing the revolver, drew a knife from his belt and charged Hunter from the side, parrying Hunter's pistol with his left hand and stabbing him twice with his right hand, killing him. There is no conclusive video evidence that Hunter actually had a gun. If a gun existed, Hells Angels, who murdered him, probably planted the weapon on Hunter's body.

The Altamont concert is often contrasted with the Woodstock festival that took place less than four months earlier. While Woodstock represented "peace and love", Altamont came to be viewed as the end of the hippie era and the de facto conclusion of late-1960s American youth culture: "Altamont became, whether fairly or not, a symbol for the death of the Woodstock Nation.

Apparently, there is no such thing as a "free concert." Nothing is "free."

The best Roger Moore "James Bond" film, not necessarily because of Roger Moore, but because the supporting cast, the script, the plot.

Carole Bouquet and Chaim Topol are stand-outs. And Roger manages to pull this one out.

The only Moore Bond film I can stomach.

Sorry for highjacking your thread, but you left me a rather wide opening.

My best to you.

3. My favorite Bond film...

* Sean Connery, of course.
* Daniela Bianchi
* Robert Shaw
* Lotte "fucking" Lenya! (Kurt Weil's wife, who premiered his Three Penny Opera. She was likely the first person to sing Mack the Knife.) Holy crap, she's incredible in this film.
* Pedro Armendáriz -- a great character actor. Regretably his last film. He was dying of lung cancer during production and commited suicide shortly after completing filming.

Filmed in Istanbul, and on the Orient Express.

The perfect Bond flick.

As Welcome to the Jungle plays on Coyote 102.5 FM, in Albuquerque, NM, please allow me to introduce myself. while welcoming you to Democratic Underground. That damned song used to play every time I went online, when I lived in Onset Beach, in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. While most people believe that Sir James Paul McCartney was the driving force of the Beatles, the band, along with most of the lyrics and music arose from the genius of John Lennon. After an uninspired lead singer left The Beatles, Sir Paul came aboard. While history remains obvious, I shall leave you with a song: However, be sure and check out posts, here in movies, music and especially in "OFFBEAT!" Click it to find Conspiracy Theories. After you click on you will discover deeper realms of The Matrix, Neo. Well, whatever, here is a song called Imagine, by John Lennon:



BE SURE AND LISTEN TO BROADCAST RADIO STATIONS, WHEREVER YOU LIVE, DRIVE OR WORK!

Does everyone realize "THAT" the first time I tuned to 103.3 FM in Belen, NM, a totally, random, computer-driven, radio station - or some other source - claimed "the format is approved by the C.I.A." At the time, I was living with the sister of a National Gestational Intelligence Agency (NGA) agent. Anyhow, here's the link: http://www.ed.fm/

And here is the website: https://www.nga.mil/Pages/Default.aspx

Does everyone find the musical note image, depicted at the NGA website interesting?
