Bing Crosby
Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby Jr. (May 3, 1903 – October 14, 1977) was an American singer, musician and actor. The first multimedia star, he was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century worldwide. He was a leader in record sales, radio ratings, and motion picture grosses from 1926 to 1977. He made over 70 feature films and recorded more than 1,600 songs. His early career coincided with recording innovations that allowed him to develop an intimate singing style that influenced many male singers who followed, such as Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Dean Martin, Dick Haymes, Elvis Presley, and John Lennon. ''Yank'' magazine said that he was "the person who had done the most for the morale of overseas servicemen" during World War II. In 1948, American polls declared him the "most admired man alive", ahead of Jackie Robinson and Pope Pius XII.

Eeyore
Eeyore ( ) is a fictional character in the ''Winnie-the-Pooh'' books by A. A. Milne. He is generally characterized as a pessimistic, gloomy, depressed, anhedonic, old grey stuffed donkey who is a friend of the title character, Winnie-the-Pooh. In the books Eeyore appears in chapters 4, 6, 7, and 10 of ''Winnie-the-Pooh'' and is mentioned in a few others. He also appears in all the chapters of ''The House at Pooh Corner'' except chapter 7. His name is an onomatopoeic representation of the braying sound made by a normal donkey, usually represented as "hee haw" in American English: the spelling with an "r" is explained by the fact that Milne and most of his intended audience spoke a non-rhotic variety of English in which the "r" in "Eeyore" is not pronounced as /r/. Physically, Eeyore is described as an "old grey donkey". In Ernest H. Shepard's illustrations, he appears to be about chin-high to Pooh and about hip-high to Christopher Robin. He has a long, detachable tail wit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dope Humor Of The Seventies
''Dope Humor of the Seventies'' is a compilation album by the Firesign Theatre, released by Stand Up! Records in November 2020. Background A sequel to the '' Dear Friends'' album, it consists of short, highly improvisational sketches distilled from the 80-hour archive set ''Duke of Madness Motors'', originally recorded from 1970 to 1972 as part of the group's nationally syndicated ''Dear Friends'' radio show. The album was released on vinyl and digital formats, and includes liner notes with an archive of handwritten scripts and other material from the era. Reaction from members Firesign member David Ossman called ''Dope Humor'' a sort of "dark side" to the ''Dear Friends'' album, since both were compiled from the same source, but the sketches on ''Dope Humor'' had not been constrained by the desire to keep the material radio-friendly, as had been the case for ''Dear Friends''. Phil Proctor called it a tribute to late founding members Phil Austin and Peter Bergman. Reception Mar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
