Released 41 Years Ago Today

Stevie Wonder: Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants (1979)

Much like the Brothers Johnson's 12-inch red vinyl single for Strawberry Letter 23 smelling like strawberries when new, this 2-disk vinyl set smelled like orchids when first opened.

Anyone Remember This Stud?

The other day I realized I hadn't seen Divine's Lust in the Dust in probably a decade or more, so I tracked it down on iTunes and bought it for a ridiculously low price. It remains my favorite Divine vehicle, although I'm sure that's going to raise a spirited discussion among my readers.

Anyhow, about a third of the way into the flick this handsome stud flashed ever-so-briefly up on the screen and I thought, I'd forgotten all about that one. Not surprising since this image was basically his whole appearance in the film, but then—and now—it was enough to give me pause (and hit pause!).

No idea who he is, as IMDB has been of no help whatsoever…

Where My Hairy, Mustached Obsession Began

Bill Buckner, sometime between 1984 and 1987

Mr. Buckner caught my eye in the early 80s while flipping through channels and happening upon a game on WGN from Chicago. I'd never given two thoughts to baseball before that; afterward, while not obsessed, I'd certainly stop what I was doing and watch a game if the Cubs were playing. I lost interest a few years later, although I swear I saw him out and about in town in '84 during spring training.
