Robin Williams met Koko the gorilla in 2001 while she was grieving the loss of her longtime companion, Michael.
She had not smiled in over six months, but Williams made her smile again.
When the actor died in 2014, Koko was told, “We have lost a dear friend, Robin Williams.”
She later signed “cry lip” and "became very gloomy, bowing her head and shivering her lips."
@dpshow What a bunch of cheap A-Holes.. Ironically this may turn into some negative PR. Be interesting if Good Morning America researched this and then reported this info…
"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."
-Anthony Bourdain

I don’t know who the clown is behind the plate in the Pa vs NJ game, but DAMN….
At least a 1/4 to a 1/3 of the plate calls have been off. And his quirky late strike and ball calls….. DAMN. 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣

Dude, give it up…
Happy Birthday to a true national treasure — Steve Martin.
Comedian. Actor. Writer. And one of the most unexpected (and serious) banjo players of our time.
He’s won Grammys for comedy and for bluegrass. He released a full banjo album that took home Best Bluegrass Album. He played on Earl Scruggs’ “Foggy Mountain Breakdown.” He created the Steve Martin Banjo Prize to support the instrument he loves. And he still plays with real heart and skill.
Most people only know the wild and crazy guy.
The ones who listen closer know the musician.
Happy Birthday, Steve. Thanks for keeping the banjo alive and interesting.

ALMOST FAMOUS (2000) understands exactly how to use music. Zeppelin, Elton John, Simon & Garfunkel and The Who don’t just fill the soundtrack, they punctuate the characters’ lives. And “Tiny Dancer” remains an all-timer of a needle drop.
