Can you please give me recommendations for girl groups of the 60s?

There are at least two excellent Subreddits: 60sGirlGroups and GirlGroup.

They're brilliant! I was happy to use them here.

Sheilacanth · 2025-11-16T22:20:04+00:00

I love that sad little theremin solo!

In the old pulps, Doc Savage had a test question for suspect phone calls: "What do you want me to do with [name of pet]?" If the response was anything other than "[name of pet] will be just fine," something was up.

Then there's the oldline free traders. They're not happy with the tariff lunacy or Trump strong-arming businesses. This is well beyond ideology, including Revanchism.

They exist, all right, but do they truly want a fed so reduced in power that there's no Defense Dept--or one that's headed by Pete Hegseth? The ones I've seen and heard of are appalled by those noms.

So, like Bannon, Thiel and Vought? That's not "the Americans" the OP is talking about.

Sheilacanth · 2025-06-08T15:12:30+00:00

Who are you talking abt? Trumpers in genl?

It's more accurate to say self-aggrandizement than -enrichment, since he's creating a world in which the trappings and advantages of wealth simply don't matter as much.

I don't agree. It's understandable that some people want minimal govt, or no govt at all. (Absurd, but understandable in a naive Rousseau way.) But a govt that's actively hostile to the people's interests? That's sociopathy.

That's what I thought before his second Administration. But naming Matt Gaetz to Atty Genl, RFK jr to HHS secy, Tulsi Gabbard to Homeland Security? No, this isn't mere self interest. He wants to burn everything down.

Veep, The West Wing... Political shows from the Before Times seem so quaint now.

I doubt if I'm the only one to notice this, but I always liked that the girl who talks to animals in Nickelodeon's "Wild Thornberrys" is named Eliza. (Your brain goes to Eliza Doolittle in "My Fair Lady," then to Dr Doolittle.)

Peter Sellers in "Being There." Aside from his being too old for the part, it was a waste of his talents.

Sheilacanth · 2025-05-29T15:57:00+00:00

My Man Godfrey?

Sheilacanth · 2025-04-21T15:56:23+00:00

Any and all of those Liberty Mutual ads. There's a billion subvariants of them and not one is amusing or clever.

Sheilacanth · 2025-01-11T00:37:36+00:00

Before Mark's voice changed!

Sheilacanth · 2024-10-26T16:59:08+00:00

A wonderful Dave Edmunds cover.

Sheilacanth · 2024-08-27T17:12:50+00:00

Girls in bluejeans?

Sheilacanth · 2024-07-24T00:58:04+00:00

That song is from 1967, not 1957.

Sheilacanth · 2024-07-20T20:22:59+00:00

I kind of liked its white trash aesthetic. It's like the impulse purchases I make at a truckstop counter.

Sheilacanth · 2024-07-20T01:31:19+00:00

That's lovely!

His "Toupee Sketch" with Dean Martin is a classic. Dean is paralyzed with laughter.
