What do you get if you cross a genius with an actor at the very height of their powers?

This 👍

Happy 73rd birthday to singer, songwriter and actor #DavidJohansen - best known as a member of the seminal proto-punk band #NewYorkDolls and his pseudonym Buster Poindexter.

Seven years ago today, #DavidBowie released his twenty-fifth and final studio album “Blackstar” on his 69th birthday.

It was his final gift to the world. Bowie would depart this life just two days later. RIP

The arrest of 12-year-old Louis Armstrong, as covered in the New Orleans Democrat 110 years ago today. Wonder what became of that “old offender”…..

[Sondheim Lyrics @sondheimlyrics]

I got through all of last year, and I'm here.
Lord knows, at least I've been there, and I'm here!
Look who's here!
I'm still here!

Dear Roy, Before Christmas you had a Wheelie Bin pinched. I have just had a Satellite Dish taken from my garden. I used this as a Parabolic Reflector for recording Birdsong. So if anyone sees this at a car boot sale, be careful as it may be Radioactive.

I did not know this.

[Louis Armstrong @ArmstrongHouse]

On NYE 1912, Louis Armstrong was arrested for firing a gun while celebrating the New Year and was sent to the Colored Waifs Home for Boys—a move that changed his life and eventually, the sound of popular music. Here’s a photo of him poised to change the world. Happy 2023!

If you've just missed the window for this, no matter. Start watching When Harry Met Sally at 10.29pm and 29 seconds and you'll see in the new year at exactly the same point Harry and Sally do, just as Harry tells Sally that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her.

The rain falls whether we choose to stand in it or not. So it is with ennui.

Happy new year.

[Chantry Chapel @chantrychapel]

Wonderful Requiem Mass for Richard Plantagenet Duke of York this evening. Mass was well attended and led beautifully by Mgr Smith & The St Austin's choir. Servers came from as far afield as York which is where Richard's head was placed following his death in 1460.

Time, with unwearied but slow feet, guides her to the goal that thou hast reached, and I, her unhappy child, am advanced still nearer the hour when my earthly dress shall repose near thine, beneath the tomb of Cestius.

— Mary Shelley, December 31 1822.

Had another Tub of Gin and another of the best Coniac Brandy brought me this Evening abt. 9. We heard a thump at the front Door about that time, but did not know what it was, till I went out and found the 2 Tubs - but nobody there.
