Oh my!
I could never forget about Molly Ringwald, that's for sure.

Pity that the Disco Man left, though.
I was part of that Charlie et al discussion, getting a bit (?) too emotional :-[, but ... I'm only human, born to make mistakes.

As Charlie says: tout est pardonné.

But I still miss Navneeth (Opus 106).

She released a jazz album in 2013
.

Navneeth pops up from time at Symphonyshare.  So I presume he is doing well.

He's still around then. That's good news! :)

I.c. unforgettable Molly:



She's got a sweet singing voice, but if I'd buy that disc and listen to her Don't you forget about me every evening before bedtime, I'm afraid I wouldn't get much sleep.

We should all listen to Bruckner 6 in honor of his imminent return to GMG!!

GREAT IDEA!!!  0:)

Concering Mollly Ringwald:

I am having trouble persuading my belligerent neurons that 1985 was 30 years ago.

Because I can do a comparison, you see, and recall that when I was younger in the 1950's and 1960's, "30 years ago" meant the strange and faraway days of the Roaring Twenties and the Depression.  Now, "30 years ago" does not seem all that distant at all...but it is!  ;)

So do I... It struck me already a few years ago that when I was in primary school around 1980 and my Grandma recounted stuff from WW 2 or the immediate time afterwards around 1950 this was as distant as my primary school days are from today. To me this does explain some differences between people my age (born late 60s to mid/late 70s) and the ones only a few years younger. I actually had older teachers as well as classmates with elderly fathers who had served in WW2, in any case most of our parents had been born during the war and grown up in the aftermath, so both this recent past as well as certain mores were usually clearly conveyed to my generation. Whereas people born in the 1980s have usually parents having grown up in the late 60s/70s, in comparably well-off situations and also on "our side" of the social changes of the late 60s.

Here is something of interest musically: I have a good number of students who can tell me about rock groups from 30 years ago and beyond (one girl is a Beatles fanatic), the equivalent of hearing a discussion of Bix Beiderbecke, Rudy Vallee, Alice Faye, or Bing Crosby among teenagers in the 1960's or 1970's, discussions which, I can assure you, did not take place (a handful of exceptions).

Similar reaction to movie discussions, as much has happened since I started watching as there had been up to that time.  Film historians have twice as much to learn now!

I suspect that the reason is partially linked to the powerful access we now have in terms of watching and listening to music/film from the past. Perhaps the 60/70s teenagers would have had those discussion with a similar access to the music?

Well, maybe.

In fact, there was a 1930's '40's pop-kulcher revival of sorts in the later 1960's and early '70's: some movie theaters had W.C. Fields and Marx Brothers festivals.  Records with old radio shows came out (again with Fields, Jack Benny, Burns and Allen, etc. ).  Big Band music was also reissued, but this latter phenomenon was more for the grandparents than the teenagers.

Yes: I recall a prediction about VCR's, when they first became popular and had been bought by a majority of the population in the 1980's.  "Everybody can now become a film historian!"

Except the most popular genre for many years was (yes) Contemporary  Pornography, ???  not "Silent CLassics" or "1930's Academy Award Winners."

I went to all of those; liked them as much as I did the current movies. And now, the 'current' movies are classics. I remember seeing things like 'Midnight Cowboy' (Rated X! :o ) and then 'The Godfather', 'Jaws' etc when they were brand new movies. I saw 'Alien' at the World Premiere in San Francisco. That's all 'old shit' now, just like the W.C. Fields I was seeing concurrently with it. This was back in my 'going to the movies' days.

I think good porn is timeless, doesn't need to be contemporary, although I know it is. Fresh, baby, gotta be fresh...  :D

Heh-heh!  Well, I will NOT ask for a definition of "good pornography."   ;)

I recall reading that at least some of those "actresses" were borderline retarded and/or drug addicts and/or beaten by abusive boyfriends or husbands to force them to appear.  So what one sees is a rape on screen.  Others, of course, did like the  money.

I imagine he's just busy. He's got a girlfriend and I'm happy for him. He deserves all the happiness that life can bring him.

One word posts is the worst thread. It takes away too much attention. Monkey Greg left the house with not a great heritage.

Thanks. (my one word reply)  ;)

The Gregster!!!!!!

I got Dohnanyi's Brucker 6 and it rocks. Simone Young's uses very similar tempos but the orchestra isn't as Brucknerish.

And welcome back and stuff.

Anything with Dohnanyi and Bruckner on the same cover rocks!
I've had Young's 6th on the radar, and I see the worlds most handsome conductor  (Mr. Paavo to you) has a new 6th arriving soon.
