Wanting to highlight her strong Gospel roots, Art Kane tried waving the camera in a circular motion to try to make halo shapes from the light in Aretha’s eyes. This photo is also a rare, Art Kane crop, as virtually all his images are composed in full frame.

You can find out how he got it (and what he did with it) at the Daily Mail, or at Archie McPhee’s Endless Geyser of Awesome.
Next thing you know they’re gonna be whittling lifesize human decoys. [Found here.]
Too many title possibilities for those beach bowsers.

Gotta be more than that, so have at it.

Before you click on that first video, I gotta tell you something. Bunkarina sent it to me from the living room last night. Although I recognized the song immediately, I couldn’t name it or identify the original artist, let alone date it correctly. Had I been betting, I would have lost my shorts.
Now THAT is how to ask a girl to Senior Prom. Had I only known.
Hey Baby. On the beach.
In the rec hall. From the comments: Ha! – check out :34 – :36, looks like she’s popping her head in the door and thinking about being your girl!
DJ Ötzi’s version is cool, too.
That’s Bruce Channel and Delbert McClinton in 2003. Channel wrote it in 1959, recorded it, and it became a No 1 Hit in 1962.
50 years later, it’s still a hit for a high school prom invitation, and that makes me smile. Have a great weekend folks. See you back here tomorrow, when I will explain why “boobs” is now in the tagline.
Found via google image search and yeah, I really was looking for canned fish assholes.
From the “What To Do With This” file. [Found here.]
Reminds me of a Super Bowl Party we hosted years ago. I took some flour, “painted” yardlines on the lawn in front of the house. People showed up and asked, “How the hell did you get all the birds to line up in rows?” True story.

Even though it looks like a hoax, it makes me sad – no respect.
Yeah Daddio, Blackboard Jungle, 1955. Not much has changed since then, and they busted 78s in that movie, too. On the other hand, it introduced Bill Haley & The Comets, redefined them from rockabilly into rock and roll.
“Groovie Movie” short from 1944 – How to Jitterbug. Pay attention – there’s some hot stuff there, but nothing beats the Slim Slam Allstars.
Slim Galliard (piano, guitar) and Slam Stewart (bass) from the 1941 movie Hellzapoppin’. Killer stuff, that. Yeah, we posted it before, but so what. It’s great, especially because the clip begins with a tribute to jazz that was still popular just a few years prior.
Have a great weekend, folks, and tell your mom Bunk said Happy Mothers Day.
