Kane Roberts 1987 (FULL ALBUM) Original Cd Press HQ

This year marked the 30th Anniversary of the self titled debut album for former Alice Cooper guitarist Kane Roberts. I don't know the exact date so I figured why not bring it up on New Year's Eve? Probably better than most music people will you use for New Year's Eve parties.

Dragnet Jack Webb "What Do They Pay You?"

Sad milestone as today is the 35th Anniversary of the death of Jack Webb who passed away of a heart attack at 62. Webb is best known for creating the classic Police Drama Dragnet and starred in it as Sgt. Joe Friday in the radio version, a 1954 movie, and the 1950s & 1960s versions on TV while planning to return for a 1983 revival before his death. Webb also co-created the police drama Adam-12 & the medical drama Emergency! and ran his own production company Mark VII Limited which has one of the most famous logos in history of hands hammering a stamp along with a drum roll and hammer clinks which has since inspired Spike Lee's 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks logo and Cartoon Network's Ghost Planet Industries/Williams Street Production logos. Upon Webb's death, the LAPD paid tribute to him with a funeral complete with police honors including a gun salute along with renaming one of their academy auditoriums after him and retired the badge number 714 which Joe Friday used on Dragnet.

Siskel & Ebert: Leonard Part 6

Happy 30th Anniversary to the infamous Bill Cosby movie Leonard Part 6 which is considered one of the worst movies of all time. How bad is it? Cosby himself famously went as far to go on talk shows to warn people not to see it. I must bring all this up because it allows me to show Siskel & Ebert's review of it and it's easily one of Ebert's best reviews as we see him mock the bad jokes and criticizing Cosby prostituting himself to Coca-Cola (who owned Columbia Pictures at the time) to get the film made. Siskel & Ebert had an incredible knack of making bad movies sound hilarious.
