Jack Nicholson Sings?

A memory of my senior year of high school.  Not necessarily, a high school thing, but that was the year the movie was released. 

Tommy, one of the first, if not the first Rock opera's had already played on stage, by the Who.  A movie version with Ann-Margaret, Oliver Reed, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Jack Nicholson, and Who members Roger Daltry and Keith Moon got  mixed reviews from fans of the band.

Jack Nicholson had this memorable singing solo in the production.

Voice In The Valley Music School

So, just for fun, I've been taking singing lessons from this school down the street (so to speak) from us.  It's been well over a year, but this was just made, say a week ago. Enjoy!

Racing Star Kyle Busch Dead At 41

 

For a race car driver to lose his or her life in the prime of his or her career is a thing that happens all too often.  Kyle Busch, however, did not die in a high-speed crash, but in the hospital where he was rushed earlier in the day.  The cause of death was reported as an undisclosed illness.  He was only 41.

Although, I do not follow auto sports, Busch's name transcended the car world.  He was a two time NASCAR Cup Series Champion.  

Veteran Reality Host Make News With Error

For those who watch the Survivor TV show, which is just completing its 50th season, one of the most dramatic moments in the final show is the fire making challenge.  Two contestants attempt to start a fire without a lighter or matches, the winner has joins the final three to make a case to the "jury" a panel of contestants who have been voted out of the game, and the loser is out. 

Jeff Propst, in a live broadcast, mixed with the taped game, which was being played in sequences accidently gave away the results during a routine contestant interview in the live show.  

Jeff made the best of it, and the show went on with viewers knowing the results.

The season winner was kept secret in the end, preserving some suspense.
