The story is that the shades started because of the players were trying to hide their red eyes. The band was known for being a party ” frat “.
Yet they stay (stayed) very good.
A few grains of salt with this. I saw it decades ago. 😀
Such slender(ish), graceful(ish) basset hounds… well, you work with what you’ve got, right?… it has a poetic charm to it.
The beautiful Stevie Nips was apparently dressed in character as a Welsh dogwitch…
but for a hit song she wrote and sang… um… on the previous album…. “Rhiannondog.”
Meanwhile, Fleetbasset’s job was to stand there looking impossibly tall and… let’s just say it… sexy… for a basset hound.
…
Ah…. nostalgia…. even if “Yesterday’s Gone”….
Oh, such lovely howling…partially inspired, we now know, by all three couples in the band being in the middle of breaking up…
Especially nostalgic for me, personally…. because at first I wasn’t a big Fleetbasset Machound fan… being more into the more rock sound of the likes of the Ra-bones….
but about a year after it came out, I traveled to Guatemala, where “Rhiannondog” was playing on EVERY jukebox in every little bar and restaurant…
I can’t find a link to the dogs… probably copyright issues..
but here are the humans:
…
After I’d been there a week or two, “Rumors” reached them… and it was “Dreams” instead, that became the soundtrack for my 2 month trip.
Once again… the human version…..
“Players only love you when they’re plaaaying ♫ ♪ ♫ “…
….
And of course, while staying in rustic, magical little towns with the travelling boyfriend I’d flown there to see…
WE broke up, too.
When I got home, “Go Your Own Way” became MY soundtrack for that summer.
….
Summer of 1978
Yeah yeah…. I was pretty grown up for a..um… a.. 9… no (cough) a… ok… maybe a 12 year old.
Worked with a fella once who had a terrible crush on Stevie Nicks. We were on a travelling crew in the Wichita area, seems she was doing a concert there. IIRC, he was dissapointed he couldn’t get an evening off.
You were only nine…, er… twelve in ’78? You may be too young fer me, then. Darn it.
The human, Mick Fleetwood, apparently felt insecure, at first, trying to copy Micky FleetBasset….
and decided that he needed… well… some sort of enhancement to compete with such a studly basset hound.
…
The story goes that he stole his decorative accessory, very early on… it’s the pull chain of the old fashioned “WC”, in the English bar where they were playing.
yes indeedy.
I remember that Chevys and Fords and Olds and stuffwere 3K but the Corvettes and Cadillacs were 5K, an astronomical amount in those days
….at least in my family
Well, they have more delicate footwear than the bassets.
Just try getting delicate footwear on chubby basset paws!
Married with Children?

Let’s not forget the USC Song Girls!
Love them. All of them from all periods.
I remember that album cover.
Oh Well is amazing, I didn’t know that FM did that song.
Cant believe that road full of gooses.
Stel had been collaborating with Nighthawks for a short while on Cleo animations, when she started posting her own work on Tuesdays and Thursdays…
The goose “quadriptych”(?) (quackuptych?) is one of her first as a contributor.
…
Occasionally, including once very recently, I’ve asked her “When are you going to post my fusilli geese again?”…
but she never seems to want to to run it as the day’s strip.
Today she did post it for me… albeit playing second banana.
That’s OK … I love it.
Maybe I’m a silly goose.
this was great!!! (you silly goose, you)
,
233 years ago…
Yes… Joyeux Quatorze Juillet!
Or as we say in English, but they never do in France… “Happy Bastille Day!”
…
I was just looking for some fireworks to post when you put that up.
Nice cover, Stel!

@StelBel… I meant to say thank you for the geese!

Well…. I could have been a… little.. um.. a tiny bit older…. memory is so fragile.
And you know, it seems to be getting fragiler.
Sometimes it positively shatters into dust..

Micky Fleetbasset needs no such help.
Mac ‘n’ cheese
Käsespätzle:
Looks to be a lot tastier than plain Mac & Cheese.
I had to look it up. I’m going to have to try it!
Mac & Cheese ~ my all time favorite! Can’t believe there are those that actually don’t like it. I could never associate with those people.
It being National Grand Marnier Day….
From:
“The Bartender’s Bible” by Gary Regan
Published by: Harper Collins 1991
Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 91-55104
“MISS BELLE”
1 1/2 ounces dark rum
1/2 ounce Grand Marnier
2 teaspoons dark crème de cacao
In a mixing glass half-filled with ice cubes, combine all of
the ingredients. Stir well. Strain into cocktail glass.
Notes from me:
On the same page, there was a recipe that is, I think, perfect for “Mad Max.”
And yes, the instructions are exactly the same.
“MAX THE SILENT”
1 ounce añejo rum
1/2 ounce brandy
1/2 ounce applejack
1 teaspoon anisette
In a mixing glass half-filled with ice cubes, combine all of
the ingredients. Stir well. Strain into cocktail glass.
how delicate. and, we even get purplie eyelidiness another day. woo hoo!
And I love how the ‘sparklies’ sparkle!
February on the left, this week on the right.
there’s a similar trend in new car pricing…..I read this morning that the average price for a new car or SUV is 48K US
In about 1964, my aunt and uncle sold their two bedroom home in a smallish California city…
An area right on San Francisco Bay, so real estate was not inexpensive there.
They bought a brand new 3 bedroom house in a fancier part of town…
A new development, actually built on Bay fill, which is now illegal, that had canals running through it to give every back yard some “shoreline”.
….
It was pricey, and I can remember my father having a fit with his sister…
lecturing her about spending so much money on overpriced fake waterfront property, which was going to lose all its value one of these days… Blah blah…
…
That house cost $42,000.
I have no idea why I remember, but the figure stuck in my head for years as the price for a fancy suburban home.
She angrily retorted that he had no business talking because she knew that his new top of the line Buick had to have cost at least $8,000.
“Just imagine, $8,000 for a car.”
yes indeedy.
