He was a well-loved Tumbling Tumbleweed there. Of course, we also had Frank Sinatra Drive & Bob Hope Drive. It was a bit like hollywood in the desert. Saw Frank in his friend's restaurant, Gilly's, one night, surrounded by his usual 3-man deep circle of wide-shouldered bodyguards & hustled off to a private back room.

Not only his radio exposure, but my parents bought his album (on which every song sounded like yet another version of The Twist). He was on dancing on the cover. We were ALWAYS very aware of skin tone then, since every one lived so separately, and Vegas was extremely racist (the Sands Hotel had to drain & refill the hotel pool when Sammy Davis Jr swam in it).<BR/><BR/>Well I know it's probably the beginning of your day there, but here it is well past the time any decent person would be awake, so I am siging off ...D.K.

Well, unless they are also political, like John Cusack and Ben Affleck and Warren Beatty and Alec Baldwin etc/etc. I still like Woody Allen's stuff even though he was shown to be an awful father and worse husband. To me, the thing about Russell is he is a wreck, a big lumbering wreck, and yet he still performs smoothly & has one of the best acting voices. In our virtual world, he can even be a nice guy ... kind of like a calendar pin-up girl that no man ever wonders, yeah but is she smart and can she cook.<BR/><BR/>Mauigirl:<BR/>It sure looked like PM Brown was taken aback! But then our prez once greeted Blair with "Yo, Tone!" so what do we expect. He must think his constant attempts at buffoonery are endearing. What's been bothering me lately is he sure isn't acting like a lame duck who is hated around the world & even in the U.S. for creating the giant shitstorm we will all be living with for decades. He's acting like a guy who thinks everything's going hunky-dory.D.K.
