So, fans of infatuation, tell me what you think.

See you on Thursday!  

  

A Salute to ENB!

This "did you know" feature is about a fellow I'm proud to call a fellow Oklahoman, E Nelson Bridwell.

He was from Sapulpa (to fellow Mazeppites, that's Sap-uh-LOO-puh), and his comics knowledge brought him to employment at DC comics.  A list of his DC credits is here, and a listing from OK History is here.

The above two pages are from the February 1990 Amazing Heroes.

See you back here on Monday for a new music comp in honor of February, ze month of ze love!

  

1983 - PBS Airs Wagner's RING

Other than every kid's pup-culture exposure to Wagner ("Kill the Wabbit!" and so on), I was culturally less-than-literate.

For some reason I was intrigued enough by these listings to not only watch, but dub the airings to VHS for repeat watching ... 

This staging was sort of a revelation.  The Rhinemaidens hanging about big water pipes?  Folks casting about with big voices dressed like refugees from "Fractured Fairy Tales"?  I'm in!

To my mind, the concepts treated in these operas -- what one is willing to foreswear to achieve unnatural power over others -- ran hand-in-glove with Tolkien's Lord of the Rings books, and other books like F Paul Wilson's The Keep.

The realization that someone would deliberately abjure human connection, in exchange for inconsiderate sway over others, is so disturbing and creepy that it still makes my head hang in shame at this property of fallen humanity.

Please don't set aside your chance for human connection!

See you on Thursday for something probably a lot more lighthearted.

  

Superboy TV, Part 2

Here are more of the contents of the Superboy TV show second-season promo packet. The previous installment may be found here.

Above is the containing folder which held smaller bunches of stuff.  Below is the episode-descriptions folder.

That's all that was in this folder, chief!  According to IMDB, this season had 26 episodes.  And the aired titles don't necessarily match this list.  For example, I couldn't tell you what the packet's "Luthor Story" was eventually entitled.

We've just got what we got, and that's all we got!

See you on Monday for something else I've got!
