The Sixties Beat!: Omar Sharif
http://thesixtiesbeat.blogspot.com/2015/07/blog-post.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. In my humble opinion, the epitome of the dashing leading man in the movies has to be Omar Sharif who died of a heart attack recently. Mr. Sharif was born in Egypt in 1932 and left us in 2015. You may remember him in many movies including Funny Girl and Lawrence of Arabia, but he was lead actor in one of my all time favorite movies ever.Dr. Zhivago. Only married briefly once, Mr Sharif became a life long bachelor having had a brief affair with Barbra Streisand. Posted by Kelly Gannon.

Oh ya.just in case you're wondering, I'm the guy in the black coat, Paul is the other., lol. Posted by Kelly Gannon. June 26, 2013 at 10:49 PM. The Beat Goes On!

The Sixties Beat!: Englebert Humperdink
http://thesixtiesbeat.blogspot.com/2010/09/englebert-humperdink.html
Tuesday, September 14, 2010. I remember I had this record in the sixties.great record! The thing about Englebert Humperdink that some bands today don't realize is that he's sold more records than any of your five most popular bands of today. He's sold over 150 million records, 64 gold albums (and back then to receive a gold album you had to sell MANY more than you do now), and 24 platinum records.not many other groups can rival those numbers.

The House of Cobwebs: September 2009
http://thehouseofcobwebs.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
The House of Cobwebs. I only like old stuff. Saturday, 19 September 2009. You are spilling ze alcohol! The forgotten genius of Danny Kaye in The Man From the Diners' Club (1963). Greetings. As well as old comics, I love old films. Especially comedy films. The incredible rubber-faced multi-voiced high-speed comedy genius Danny Kaye has always held a particular place in my affections. When I was a kid, I remember watching his 1955 comedy The Court Jester. The Man From the Diners' Club. 2 An amazing beatnik...

The House of Cobwebs. I only like old stuff. Friday, 16 December 2011. The World Will End in 1983! A Random Rummage Through My Comic Box. An anonymous commentator who has used my critique of Pudgy Pig. Another glorious exercise in empty industry.I haven't got round to it yet. But it's a good chance to pull a few comics out and take a look. If you scoot back up to the top there you'll see issue two of the early 1970s Gold Key series, O.G. Whiz. Might I draw your attention to Exhibit 2 above? I hope you ha...

The House of Cobwebs: March 2011
http://thehouseofcobwebs.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
The House of Cobwebs. I only like old stuff. Friday, 18 March 2011. The Incomplete Buddy Holly. The second Buddy Holly LP I owned had 20 - yes, 20! Tracks. Some of them sounded a bit odd - "electronically reprocessed for stereo" - but it didn't matter. Than I can ever listen to, more DVDs than I can ever watch; but every now and then I suddenly find myself freaking out in a vague sort of way, staring at the piles of dusty old gubbins. That fill my sordid garret, waving my hands and going " AAARGH. Orange...

The House of Cobwebs: "Ho-ho! Now we're both eggheads!" Dandy 1496, July 25th, 1970

The House of Cobwebs. I only like old stuff. Tuesday, 8 June 2010. Now we're both eggheads! Dandy 1496, July 25th, 1970. Hello again, pals. You may have noticed that I have been in self-imposed exile for some time now, only to be lured out of retirement by the fact that I have a whopping 21 followers. Intriguingly, the number of followers I have seems to grow at an inversely proportional rate to the amount I write. Or something. Nowadays, I understand, in a bid to boost flagging sales, The Dandy. He's li...

The House of Cobwebs: February 2010
http://thehouseofcobwebs.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
The House of Cobwebs. I only like old stuff. Saturday, 13 February 2010. A world where no-one had ever heard of Laurel and Hardy. Feast your eyes on this splendid old Stan Laurel money box. Yes, I know it's a bit damaged and it's been glued back together at some point, but it's still a fine item, is it not? I reckon it's 1950s, and it has an Italian look about it to my eyes - Stanlio. What do you think? I've cleaned it up a bit, but didn't want to rub it too hard - for fear that the paint might come off.
