The Broadway musical is an American invention — and George M. Cohan is considered one of the art form’s founding fathers.

Mo Rocca takes a look at how Cohan, an actor, playwright, producer and composer of standards like “Give My Regards to Broadway,” “The Yankee Doodle Boy” and “Over There,” became “the man who owned Broadway.”

John Lithgow is now the oldest man to have ever won a competitive acting Tony.

[Spencer Althouse @SpencerAlthouse]

holy crap this is easily the best Tony Award speech of the entire night. hell yes to all of this

"This is dedicated to the beautiful tapestry of immigrant families who make this country really special. May you one day not have to audition for the empathy that should be freely given by this country that benefits from your beauty. To the queer and trans communities that always will exist, no matter what people in power try to take away from them. To the people of Palestine who deserve to live a free life – a full life – without occupation. ... If there's one thing we can learn from vampires, it's that life is short, but that's its gift. Find beauty in the ephemeral and gratitude in what is not promised."

—Ali Louis Bourzgui, winning Featured Actor in a Musical for The Lost Boys

En 1972 Lou Reed edita Transformer, mi disco favorito del genio neoyorquino.
Producido por sus amigos David Bowie y Mick Ronson. Este último toca también la guitarra, piano, arreglo de cuerdas.
En el disco está una de las mejores canciones de la historia👇🏻

We invite you to enjoy a classic and witty comedy sketch featuring the legendary Dean Martin and comedian Foster Brooks, in which he portrays a brain surgeon in a series of satirical exchanges at a bar.

@Navythunder808 Leo who? He's ok. Doesn't do that much for me personally.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

For a president of the United States to nonstop shitpost this kind of ass-vomit and dumbfuckery, the degree of derangement, jealousy, and insecurity has to be off the charts.

[Today In History @historigins]

In a 2003 interview, Chris Martin recounted how he came up with the iconic piano riff for “Clocks” while playing around with some chords in a rehearsal space. ⁠
⁠
He explained that the distinctive circular melody was nothing more than a trivial idea that he almost left off the album, until his bandmates insisted it would be a hit.

One of the most extraordinary tribute speeches you’ll ever hear, delivered by the late great RICHARD BURTON to his friend — FRANK SINATRA in 1983.

Phenomenal stuff.

PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON dropped out of NYU film school after 2 days.
He made the decision after a screenwriting professor said “if you’re here to write Terminator 2, just leave now.”
