Re:MAD
As a kid I noticed there were two types of kids on the playground; kids who read MAD and kids who read CRACKED. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For our Brits
Tim Brooke-Taylor, 79 COD: Coronavirus I loved The Goodies when I was there as a young 'un; I was 14, and that might have been exactly the right age to encounter them. Their silliness was charming and their wild sped-up slapstick camera effects were hilarity. There was something adorable about them. |

He was also great in 'I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again' with John Cleese amongst others, and a long running panellist on 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue' both on the radio. I've got all The Goodies DVDs. Time to bring them out again for another viewing. RIP TB-T.

They never really exported The Goodies to the US, and I have just watched "Kung Fu Kapers" and I can see why. It's about the ancient Lancastrian martial art of Ecky Thump, in which black puddings are the secret weapon, black braces are awarded in addition to black belts, and comically large flat caps are awarded to grand masters. It may just be too British for any audience... the silliness always translates perfectly though.

I don't think that it would have travelled well though.

Yes: Stirling Moss
Easily in my top few sports heroes and one I met and spoke to personally. I have a photo from the LA Times Sports section of Moss, Phil Hill and a handsome unidentified UC Riverside freshman in deep conversation in the Riverside Raceway pits. c.1960. |

RIP bassist Matthew Seligman, 63. COD: COVID-19
Not a lot of people will know about this gent but he was highly influential on me. Thomas Dolby, Robyn Hitchcock, The Soft Boys, Thompson Twins... he was in David Bowie's band for Live Aid, and guested on many many recordings. People knew he was one of the good 'uns. |
