It seems eerie for Roy Orbison to be at his own tribute, maybe only cos I know he passed away about a year later.
In a way it makes more sense for tributes to be given to the living, when they can enjoy it… so many are posthumous.
But I’d think that would be after a long career, possibly in retirement, or on the verge of it.
…
Roy was only 52 when he died, and still performing… In fact, George Harrison and the others of the Travelling Wilburys had just helped revitalize his career, so a tribute a year before that seems like an odd bit of foreshadowing.
Yes, and those of our generation are fading from our eyes.
So many, too many.
There was once a small satirical few pages in a MAD magazine that I have never forgotten. The rockers in their later years. Of the Beatles, it said, that they had all the fame and all the money they had ever wanted and were now playing for just the bloody fun of it, to enjoy what they wanted to do, play and sing.
I always thought of that page when I thought of the Travelling Wilburys. I am old… But I remember…
Instantly recognised the bottom three, and really pleased to see bottom left alongside such greats (Not that he’s not great himself). The two women looked familiar, but couldn’t put names to them, and for a (Short) moment thought top was Brian Ferry, and wondered what he was doing there….
I recognized the bottom three as well, and also Bonnie Raitt cos I’m a fan.
They kind of make the lower triangle, and I didn’t recognize the five on top of that, though I feel like I should have gotten Tom Waits and Jackson Browne.
As for Elvis Costello, no reason he shouldn’t be among them… I played his first two albums repeatedly.
I do think he’s changed since marrying Diana Krall…. filed off some rough edges.
But some of it may be due to getting older and losing that “bad boy” edge that made me love songs like “Less Than Zero.”
For those whose viewing platform won’t blow the caption up clearly it reads:

It’s part of a very short video, which is openly credited to AI-Videos-ARG…. The description says synthetic or altered content.
Here’s another version that’s even more obviously fake… They’re passing the baby back and forth. Take a look at the mother’s feet!
As it gets better… and I mean technically, not morally… we won’t be able to tell the difference, or even believe in photos.
I’m not going to say it’s morally wrong to post a clearly labeled AI video… That’s trying to hold back the tide.
But how do we stop the ones who pass it along as real…
This is why you teach your children not to tease animals. Some fight back at the most amazing time. And some far past their size.
I recall the first time i caught an alligator lizard. Brief encounter.
Thomas Paine, one of the real architects of the new republic, even though, IIRC, a fairly recent transplant from England.
He settled in the then-colonies, and soon became a voice for revolution.
He was a persuasive writer, and inspired a lot of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
There’s no name on the pamphlet because he published it anonymously… But it became enormously popular.
He later broke with some of the founding fathers, partly because he believed the common working man should have a voice, but some of them thought only property owners should be allowed to vote.
There’s a good chance no one will see this… No idea why I decided to search the picture a day late 🙄
But just in case someone still wants to know…
It’s a 1933 press photo from of explorer Earl Hammond with (obviously) husky puppies & penguins.
In 1941, he started playing Santa Claus at a school in his home town of Aurora, Nebraska, bringing his real reindeer… since “deer” is both singular and plural, I don’t know whether that means one or eight!
He did it for the rest of his life, and also traveled, with his Santa suit and wildlife, to other Christmas celebrations in the Midwest and New York.
Well… show it to a Japanese woman and see what she thinks….
They just love sexualized fantasy geisha images, in revealing, mock Asian clothing, with the Western eyes and huge breasts they know well enough that they don’t have.
And as a woman “of a certain age” … I just love the comparison too.
I think she was married to Rossellini by this point, but she’d already had a son with him while not officially divorced from her first husband, while he had custody of their daughter, Pia Lindstrom.
In those days, people were shocked. She was blasted in the press, branded a sinner.
Also, I think she’d had a reputation as pure and wholesome, not like those movie star tramps, which made her transgressions even more appalling to the masses.
Took a couple of years for everybody to get over it.
Well, the first thing I noticed is that our cool roo here is playing on two different reeds. On the left, he’s playing a VanDoren SR422 Zz reed, and on the right a VanDoren SR2215.
That is so Fawn. Just a little bigger. 🙂
Right about where I am at…
Planet Bubblegum…

I’ve got a bad feeling about this…
Or is he just looking for his three sons?
And well you should. This

Mama! I couldn’t see you! Oh, there you are.
Keep practicing. You’ll get it.
Antarctica
Cool!
Cold!
Frozen!
I-see
What’s amazing to me is that it’s so easy to tell the difrence between continent and pack ice.
Sure… Pack ice comes in little sealed blue plastic containers… you never open them.
Continents are WAAAY bigger.
I think i recognize three.
That as before i blew up the photo.
What i can’t believe is the ones i missed.
I recognized one, but only because of his trade-mark glasses.
Elton John is in the picture?

Was a real shame that he died between recording “End of the Line” and filming the video for it. Nice touch in the video though.
Link to video on the ‘Tube.
Cracking song.
I love the Wilburys, and this song.
And yes, that’s Roy’s guitar sitting in the rocking chair. His vocals are heard, but he’s gone.
And in ten years, who knows who else has left us…
George Harrison and Tom Petty are gone….
Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, and drummer Jim Keltner are still making music, though the Wilburys disbanded in 2001.
Yes, and those of our generation are fading from our eyes.
So many, too many.

But I remember…
That reminds me of a quote i heard in an interview with an actor when asked is youngsters should/should not get into the acting business:
“Don’t do it for the money, don’t do it for the fame. Do it, because you cannot not do it.”
Instantly recognised the bottom three, and really pleased to see bottom left alongside such greats (Not that he’s not great himself). The two women looked familiar, but couldn’t put names to them, and for a (Short) moment thought top was Brian Ferry, and wondered what he was doing there….

Love Bonnie! And her dad!

Recognized everybody from Tom Waits diagonally to the Boss. The top three eluded me.
gorilla returns child to mother
This picture is awesome (if real), but I can’t give a like. I don’t know what kind of idiocy on the part of the mother led to this.
I suspect that it’s AI because that fence is ridiculously easy for the gorilla to go over or just rip apart.
You are correct, sir.

Or who straight up create unlabeled AI “news”?

Am I seeing double?! There’s two of everyone but me!
Cute, but something about this doesn’t feel right.

Gimme a break.
why do you need a break?–
Well… show it to a Japanese woman and see what she thinks….
They just love sexualized fantasy geisha images, in revealing, mock Asian clothing, with the Western eyes and huge breasts they know well enough that they don’t have.
And as a woman “of a certain age” … I just love the comparison too.
I know squat about fashion but I could instantly see that this was a Western (or AI) rip-off of Japanese art.
A birdcycle!
Eight tonight. I really like kangaroo.
Bob Keeshan – he was also Clarabell the clown (one of them) on Howdy Doody.
Same here. I’ll look again tomorrow before I check the answers.
Here I am, faithful Find the Differences fans and followers…
Bringing you the very latest in puzzle solutions!
Today we have a pretty sax-y picture….
You can tell it’s a male kangaroo by the fact that he has a suitcase… Females have a pouch.
Anyway…. you only have to find nine differences between the panels this time.
If you haven’t done that yet… well, hop to it!
You don’t want to Roo the day you missed it.
When you’re ready to compare…..
Eight, and annoyed I missed the ninth!
Same here. I missed that one also.
Got them all!
I hate it when I miss the difference in a spot where I expect one, but can’t find it. It was an obvious one too.
Just In case you, like me, were wondering why Bob Dylan didn’t look right …
I followed the YouTube link and read the description:
“Positively Fourth St performed by Tom Ayres and Le Strange April 15, 2011 at Planet Gemini, Monterey, CA”.
I guess Bob Dylan doesn’t look like himself when he’s played by Tom Ayres, whoever that is.
OK, the twin daughters are Isabella and Isotta Rossellini. But, who is
Photo taken in 1952.
Why is there a padlock on her belt? Isn’t it a little late?
/s.
A huge scandal in Hollywood!
I think she was married to Rossellini by this point, but she’d already had a son with him while not officially divorced from her first husband, while he had custody of their daughter, Pia Lindstrom.
In those days, people were shocked. She was blasted in the press, branded a sinner.
Also, I think she’d had a reputation as pure and wholesome, not like those movie star tramps, which made her transgressions even more appalling to the masses.

Love his shoes.
Well, the first thing I noticed is that our cool roo here is playing on two different reeds. On the left, he’s playing a VanDoren SR422 Zz reed, and on the right a VanDoren SR2215.
Geez, that was so obvious I didn’t even count it.
PS: Actually did find them all.
Um…. yeah… but it’s hard to circle, so I didn’t.
Have you been taking Rotifer lessons?
