Sad day for Hoagland

I am so sorry for your loss, Richard.
You were fortunate to have such a love in your life.

...but Art clearly exclaimed, ere he drove out of sight,
“You’re vicious, but vaguely lovable!”



To all those who are, aren’t, couldn’t be, or wouldn’t-until-hell-freezes-over-be 
here,

Merry Christmas!

That might be cool.

B_B is back?
No logo, no symbols, no eldritch bona fides requir’d.
“Not an fake, tis I,’Sa Moi,Et.al.” is sufficient for proof.

Hoagie speaking of cycles.
The stars must be aligned.
Now and anon.

It’s BellGab.

I was always with you.  In the laugh of every child.  In the subtle yip of every puppy.

It’s Liberace!, as Tom Joad, once again.  Nice.
Thanks, MV/Lee, for reanimating BellGab.

Can you do anything about Hoagie?

I will pledge the other ninety-nine cents for the first 100 new subscribers you get in July.

Very cool of you, GS.

Dave, donating almost all of new subscribers’ monthly fees to Second Harvest, to help feed the hungry here at home, is an excellent promotion, and generous of you and DMDN.

You may always look like a demon, but you often act like an angel.

Cheers.

That soft rhythmic tapping in the background sounds like Gertrude the duck, in  Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Stay turned for tomorrow’s thrilling installment of “Where’s Hoagie?”
Same time, same bats channel.

Howdy mudbug. Hope you survived the rain.
100 degrees here; no rain, unfortunately.
I wasn’t born on the bayou.

FWIW, Hoagie made an 11th Hour topic switch; it’s now Melania’s jacket (and how it somehow ties in with 19.5.  Really.)

I know him more from movies.
Yeah, me too. 
He and Peter Falk and Ben Gazzara and all dem guyz.
Good times.

Thanks for the Cassavetes Avatar interlude.

How's that, kid? (I know you're not a kid but I think that's how he'd phrase it. ;))
Obvious dark brooding appeal is obvious.
Black and white image is preferred.
Smoking.

The theme?  Interesting TV character actors, of course!
#17
Hey M.D., can you do John Cassavetes as your next Avatar?  He’s darkly moody and so forth; fits right in with the theme.

Dave, if it fits your convo, can you ask Nick about his experience in becoming a U.S. citizen?

Dave,  thanks for the interview with Christopher Bonanos.  WeeGee worked gritty noir magic with his black and white photography, and he is deserving of our attention.   I recommend peeps Google “WeeGee Images” to get a good representation of the man’s work.

You left me wanting more after the half-hour interview.  Hehe.  Good job.

ps:  Diane Arbus would be a good subject/topic for Halloween season, speaking of the weird and moody.

Art would have been 73 today, if he’d held off dying a couple of months.

73s, Art.

In this age of the ubiquity of information, it’s amazing how little biographical and personal information about Richard is actually known and accessible.   I almost feel that his is a triumph of the individual’s fundamental right to autonomy and privacy, even ifâ€"or especially ifâ€"the person is such a colorful (some say outrageous) a character as is Richard C. Hoagland.

We don’t know if he was distant from, or close to, his relatives.  I have a sneaking feeling it was the latter, but I have no “data” upon which to base this claim. 

In either case, when you lose a family member, it’s like losing a part of your history, and I offer Hoagie my condolences upon his loss.

I listened, enjoyed, but didn’t comment; so here is my post, for the cause.
Onward to 4,000,

Yay, Dave and Winnie!

It's like the guest has shifted gears into a manic episode.  It's hard to keep up because he's shifting so quickly and illogically.
Yeah, one minute he’s talking about Indian vedics pouring milk over the lingas, and the next he’s reminiscing about grooming organgutans in Sumatra. 

He praised Hoagie for being “relaxing to talk to”, but listening to him was anything but.

Why was the Hawaiian apocalypse guy taking about Obama birther stuff?

Sounds like an over-the -cliff conversation...right up Hoagie’s algorithm.   I wouldn’t be surprised if these two become friends.

here's some recent shit. I don't know if it'll show up because I'm hotlinking straight from my Instagram acct. A mix of recent paintings and posters from my sketchbook, and a few stickers:...

(Thanks, Rix. This is another of my favorites, although Yvette Mimieux as the limpid and passive Weena, got on my nerves).  Night night.

I could not have given a more accurate review myself lol.
I bet there are a lot of Zardoz fans out here, men and women both, kind of on the down low about it.
It’s by John Boorman!  There’s Charlotte Rampling, and  Talking Rings of the Future! (or was that The Time Machine?)

I’ll look for your review.  Thanks.
