Akela 73 is apparently Russian.
Why he chose the title of the leader of any given pack of Cub Scouts as his avatar is mystery which we will probably not find the answer to (I looked and could find nothing other than what I said above / there are many examples of his works online though).
Today’s Songs:
‘Black, Black, Heart,’ ‘Black Cars,’ ‘Black Plague’ and ‘Boogie Nights’ and ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe.
The sampling in ‘Black, Black, Heart’ is the ‘Flower Duet’ from the opera ‘Lakmé.’
My mother made a good trifle.
We were at the “Cinema” here in Munich for the first performance – Not dubbed as we prefer it.
Not much audience (late at a weekday), but what a hilarious movie!
Got the VHS (not dubbed, of course) as soon as it was available.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to purchase the matching Ernie&Bert shirts…
I haven’t seen you here before.
Welcome to the zoo ! !

Patti Smith rises to the occasion! There are many Bob Dylan tunes that are best sung by others (though not all, for sure). Think of all the Dylan songs sung by Joan Baez, which probably made them accessible to many more people.
Wow… Liz Howler was certainly… um… let’s go with lovely …. back then, wasn’t she?
One thing about her that few realize is that, counter to modern trends, she almost always strove to look older and more sophisticated than she actually was.
As a pup, she was fired by one studio because, as they said though very beautiful, she looked too adult for puppy roles.
When she was barely out of puppyhood, an age when other young canine actresses try to play puppies as long as they can, she played a slightly older role in one of her most famous films, National Velvetfur…
Then when filming was finished, she posed for pictures looking fully adult, which she was not, and upset the studio.
She famously played a bride while still in school, and the studio delayed release of the movie.
She is an adult in this film, but younger than the well worn veneer of sophistication I think she projects.
….
Of course, I didn’t get to see it when it was new…
my mother said I was much too young for the adult themes…
not to mention Liz vamping about in her slip, acting, as my father put it, like a …a… well, like a female dog in heat.
(And I may have proved my mother right by thinking at first that he was talking about the hot weather in the South.)
…
Meanwhile, that human actress…. she’s nothing but a pale pink imitation of Liz Howler.
They coulldn’t call her Maggie the Basset, could they… cos that was already taken…
so they cast her as a CAT??
C’mon…. she looks nothing like a cat.
Why, she doesn’t even have any fur!
And her eyes are some kind of strange violet color…. no proper sort of brown at all.
Don’t tell me, let me guess. The dog’s name is “Soapy Sales.”
What a cutie!
One of the happiest dogs I’ve ever seen while soaking wet and covered in shampoo lather.
Most dogs I’ve known would look miserable, either casting wildly about for an escape route, or dreaming of a vicious attack.
NOSE!
NOSE!
There’s a couple of proud Scotsmen if I’ve ever seen any.
They say clothes make the man.
I guess hats make the dog, if a couple of tams can make a pair of German shorthair pointers Scottish. 😁
At least I think that’s what they are.
2 NOSES!
The top dog gives a clear massage.
2 NOSES!

The term “Akela” is derived from Kiplings Jungle Book
“Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)”
It’s spelled that way on the liner notes, as well.
I bought the album and saw them in concert that year.
They may not be my favorite music act ever but I have to say it was a favorite concert…
So much energy and happy spirit on stage, and transferred to the audience, it was a good thing it was outdoors, cos it couldn’t be contained.

Love the shirt. Do they use the same shirt as a Blues Brothers tribute as well?!
That’s what it is, but I don’t like the other one.
I haven’t seen you here before.

I saw the play on PBS.
Raw stuff in it’s day.
Still relevant today.

That is one hot basset hound!
Clicking on this LINK (right click and open it in a new window / “Perro” was being run) you will be taken back to September 7th of last year and the baked squash recipe I posted then.

I just don’t get it.
She had an uncredited role as Helen Burns in the Orson Welles version of Jane Eyre. I read that was one of her earliest roles.
Thanks.
Yes, her third, according to Wikipedia.
She was 11, a year before National Velvet brought her fame.
The human cat, Elizabeth Taylor, at 12 years old, the year she made “National Velvet”.
This is a publicity shot… the ones she took outside the studio’s control were even older looking, but I can’t find them right now.
BTW she was 25 or 26 in that cat movie.
Another human actress who looked older at 12.
This pic is pretty famous, so maybe it’s easy to recognize.. but if not, can you guess?
Only 12 years old…
Norma Jean Baker, in 1938, before she was known as Marilyn Monroe
no way! she was once 12?
Thirteen minutes of scenes in New York City shortly after the towers fell.
I like today’s “Pearls Before Swine.”
