Songwriting team Dixie Donegan (Ann Sothern) and Eddie Crane (Robert Young) fall in and out of -- and in and out of! -- marriage as they rise to the top of the music charts in LADY BE GOOD. This black and white musical from 1941 is one of MGM's lesser-known titles, but it's marvelous entertainment. I hadn't seen it since a screening at L.A.'s Vagabond Theater in the '70s, and I somewhat uncharacteristically...

Rep. Todd Akin is under fire for claiming that saying the Pledge of Allegiance “drives liberals crazy.” However, the Missouri congressman seems to stumble on the words when he leads a group of teabaggers in Washington. Red Skelton did it a bit better: Of course, Democrats do not help themselves by sitting through the pledge as [...]
When I was in NY last June I found metal lunchboxes on sale in Waldbaum's. They packaged the past, and I'm not referring to rotten sandwiches. Now, I finally opened one of them which had Red Skelton on the box. Besides a dvd of his old shows, there's one of Jack Benny and .... lots and lots of cardboard. There's nothing like old comedy to keep an old guy (and his 13 year old friend) entertained. We...
This was my raised bed garden back when all that was planted in it was alive and well. This is my raised bed garden with everything mostly dead and nearly buried. Both of these projects were orchestrated by my grandchildren, and they've been thrilled to show them off to visitors. They love reading the grave markers aloud and setting the bones to their satisfaction. The little ghosts hanging on the...
Recently, I was forwarded a video of Red Skelton’s “Pledge of Allegiance” short. I remember back to my days as a cub scout, one of the tasks (were they called merit points or something of the likes') in our book was to discuss the meaning of our Pledge of Allegiance with an adult. I can still [...]
Following that theft last month of eleven Warhols from collector Richard Weisman's house on Beverly Glen, greg.org dives into the LAPD's Art Theft Detail website, which is full of wanted posters for Alexander Calders, Takashi Murakamis, Man Rays, and even a Red Skelton. We bet Andy Warhol in his fabulous afterlife is wishing he had thought of that. [greg.org, via kottke.org ]
Time for the update. Louisiana Catholic bloggers have been a tad slow in posting the last couple of days St Landry Catholic Church Blog has Cemetery blessings of the graves , Orphan Train Museum Ribbon Cutting (This is so interesting note to highlight later) , and Bulletin for the Weekend of October 18, 2009 From The Recamier has her Daily Update: October 15, 2009 . She also has her book review at...
Our correspondent John Larson on how illegal marijuana growers ripped off Red Skelton (well, his widow, anyway) and why there's nothing quite as valuable as water to an off-the-grid pot farm.
My Fellow Comedists, I've been thinking about the way comics' whose on-stage personas were tied to supposed drug use have changed with time. The originals were those whose acts hinged on their being drunks. Foster Brooks made a career of it, but many comics had it as part of their repertoire: Red Skelton and, of course, Dudley Moore were greats. The drunk was the male version of the dizzy blonde, someone...
A moving story about the late comedian Red Skelton, his dying son, and Pope Pius XII. From American Catholic : In 1957 comedian Red Skelton was on top of the world. His weekly comedy show on CBS was doing well. He had curtailed the drinking which had almost derailed his career. Not too shabby for a man who had started out as a circus and rodeo clown and who was now often called the clown prince of...
Must read of the day from the American Catholic : In 1957 comedian Red Skelton was on top of the world. His weekly comedy show on CBS was doing well. He had curtailed the drinking which had almost derailed his career. Not too shabby for a man who had started out as a circus and rodeo clown and who was now often called the clown prince of American comedy. He and his wife Georgia had two beautiful kids:...
