Get ready for Be An Angel
We interrupt Honeymoon Suite for today’s Editor’s Notebook.
“Be An Angel” begins Monday. Please check The Daily Courier or Herald to see how you can help make a difference this Christmas in the lives of area families.
As per tradition, we will be featuring a Page 1 story throughout the campaign to show where the money is going. A list of donors will be published daily on Page A4 (although you are allowed to remain anonymous.)
The best angel of all time: Farrah Fawcett.
The best song about an angel: “Angel of the Morning,” by Chip Taylor, recorded by just about every female vocalist of the 1970s (Juice Newton having the definitive version).
The best kind of cake: angel food.
With this month being the 50year anniversary of the release of “The Beatles” (The White Album), there’s speculation that producer George Martin actually had enough material for a triple album.
Much of the material that didn’t make the final cut was later reworked and would appear on solo projects.
The thoughts of three LPs is painful. The White Album would have been a great single album if they had cut about half of the unnecessary tracks.
Did the world really need to hear “Revolution 9” and “Piggies?”
Sex doll brothels, the media reports, are this generation’s strip bars, revolutionizing the sex-trade industry. Err, that doesn’t sound all that sanitary.
Michael B. Jordan is back. Stallone is back (again). Dolph Lundgren returns as Ivan Drago.
“Creed II” is not only a sequel to “Creed,” but a continuation of “Rocky IV,” where Adonis fights the son of Drago, the man who killed his father in the ring back in 1985.
If none of this inspires you to go see the movie, Brigitte Nielsen reprises her role from “Rocky IV” as Drago’s wife in a cameo. That’s it — I’m going.
Headline news from Vernon: “Video of sexual relations can be used at grievance in fire department firings.”
Who ever said that firefighters sleep on the job?
The much-anticipated line-up of Rock the Lake was announced earlier this week. Nine of the 11 bands are Canadian. The two American bands — The Romantics and Quiet Riot — both scored top 5 hits during the early 1980s.
The most anticipated artist of the weekend is definitely Tom Cochrane with Red Ryder. Great musician, great man!
I enjoyed Quiet Riot back in the day. It would be really cool, I think, if they invited Katie Robinson on stage to duet with them on “Metal Health.” I’ve got a new girl now, and she’s a lot like you, lot like you. James Miller is the valley editor of the Okanagan Newspaper Group.
