RIP David Johansen - New York Dolls
Fairly obscure band in the 70s but without David Johansen and the New York Dolls we'd have never had The Smiths and many other iconic bands. RIP and thank you. https://variety.com/2025/music/news/david-johansen-dead-new-york-dolls-1236324334/ -
Sports Trading Card Advice
My brother got me this Michael Jordan Fleer rookie card for Christmas when we were teens in the mid-80s, I was a huge MJ fan and he was huge into sports card collecting. This is the only card I've ever really had. I know the MJ Fleer rookie is one of the more valuable ones, but mine is obviously... -

Great Movie Casting "Misses"
Just read this and had to bring it to light. Apparently when casting First Blood the role of John Rambo was offered to Dustin Hoffman, who turned it down. There were a lot of actors considered for the role of Rambo. But Dustin Hoffman? All 5'5 and 140 lbs. of him... as John Rambo? That has to... -
