Many of us know know about Marlene... SHE did "drag", and she was with women... OPENLY! WAY AHEAD OF HER TIME!!

I give respect to her "I don't give a FUCK what any of you think attitude"!

The Immortal Legend of Glamour

Success in life depends upon your sense of values.
-- Marlene Dietrich

Marlene Dietrich (1901-1992) was one of the most remarkable actresses of the 20th century.

- She did not go in for national politics but was fiercely anti-fascist and pro-American.
- She had no interest in gender politics but her androgyny contributed to her glamorous myth and became its essential part. Being an alluring woman, she would dress up like a man and have publicly known affairs with women.
- She looked like a heavenly prima donna but during WW2 she worked on the front in Northern Africa and Europe entertaining American troops and helping in hospitals for which the U.S., the French and the Israeli governments awarded her medals.
- She had terrific legs but wore trousers wherever she appeared.
- She had a career after 40 but became a legend long before her death.
- She was born in Germany, but lived her life as an American citizen.
Incredibly intelligent, Marlene Dietrich made very few arguments about what she was for but she let her actions speak for her.

Marie Magdalene Dietrich was born on December 27, 1901 in Schoeneberg, Berlin, to a family of Louis Erich Otto and Josephine Dietrich. The unique name 'Marlene' she created when she was 13 by cutting off the middle of her name, and used it later together with her surname as a pseudonym known to the whole world.

Dietrich's world movie career began with The Blue Angel, 1929, one of the most timeless films in the history of motion picture and still admired. In 1930 she moved to the U.S., in Hollywood. All the films done there together with the Austrian director Josef von Sternberg made Marlene the brilliant queen of the screen.

It is unpardonable to call Marlene Dietrich just a star. She was and still is a cultural symbol of the century. She created a style and fashion of her own. Not only her stunning look made Dietrich's style so amazing. Her captivating eroticism, her cool and distant glamour, fascinating face, misty eyes, and extraordinary husky voice made her one of the greatest women of our century. On May 6, 1992 Dietrich died in Paris, but the legend remains immortal.

*She will leave you crying in the night...

A memory...
 

A Lindsey solo song (post Fleetwood Mac), came out while I was living in Houston, playing in an all women's band - in a women's club. I slow (?took it down "half-time" to get close) danced with the bass player to this, in an after hours party one night at that club. I had a little tiny crush on her... forgot ALL about that till just now!

:peacelove:

YAYYY!!!!!!!
 

See, now Beau, I was a huge fan of hers: read a couple books about her in high school just as she was nearly instantly/simultaneously at her height (brief it was yes, but quite impactful), and folks CALLED me Janis - because my hair was the same then (all of OURS was!), and we had some similar features and I was a "bit of a bad-ass" at that time... I know, hard to believe, huh?

And our family watched the Tom Jones Show weekly, and I have NEVER seen this clip of her. I am BLOWN AWAY and literally taken aback... (!)

I was probably out partying that night!! (In like, 8th grade!!!)

WOOO-HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

(I'm wondering if the background music is The Big Brother and the Holding Company that she was first with, in recording - before most of us new her simply as Janis Joplin, a solo recording artist? It really sounds like them...)

THANK YOU MY FRIEND! :D

J.

Has ANYONE...
 

... ever felt like they were in love with someone that they did not know - or have never even yet to meet? I feel this way. (Sometimes, I wonder if she is a long "lost love" from another lifetime perhaps...?)

Linus, I'm showing you have two different Missing Tube threads. The same postings/responses I think, but one has the red "Sticky" in front of it, and the other doesn't and it is more boldened with it's topic letters. Is this making any diff. for my "mod" thing? It probably is just one thread, but since last night I saw them coming up each differently as "new posts" and I did post on both, I think...(?) Follow that? Perhaps that has nothing to do with anything going on...

No.. one is missing posts and one is missing YouTubes (two different issues).

Loved this song...
 

... as a youngster. George didn't get to sing enough. (That was only one of their problems though.)

Hey what else can we do now
except roll down the window

Rick Nelson
 

I remember where I was the day Rick Nelson died in a plane crash.
I was sitting in a gay bar with friends and someone came to the table
and told us Rick Nelson had died. It was hard to believe because he was
so young and iconic as one of the rock n' roll dream idols.
We all grew up with Ozzie and Harriett.
Just about everyone liked Rick Nelson, not because he was
a great singer, but because he had appeal across the board.
He recorded country, rockabilly, rock 'n roll, even adult
contemporary such as Fools Rush In and Again
sort of emulating the orchestrated/ 50s rock 'n roll sound
from Buddy Holly, who had been the first to use an orchestra
in his arrangements (or so I've read).

Lately, I've expanded my collection adding 64 more songs
by Rick Nelson to the late 1950s-early 60s section.
I didn't realize he had recorded a lot of covers.

Here's one of them, recorded by Peggy March in '63.

Frankie Laine
 

The first time I heard Frankie Laine's
That's My Desire I was swept.
It was such a far departure from his western themes
like Rawhide and a version of High Noon among others.
"Desire" was Laine's signature song and it's
interesting to listen to the different ways
he recorded it starting in the late 40s.
Here are two versions he recorded in
1957 and '58 where the latter has a little more doo wop.
"Desire" is a great ballad; I agree with the commentary
on the video as being Laine's best effort.
