The Star Made Me Buy It

 Today's star was a huhYOOGE star back in the day...

                                Young Gary Cooper was the most beautiful man ever.

Unfortunately, he aged very quickly.  

If you ever see the movie Love in the Afternoon, he looks waaayyy to old to be romancing Audrey Hepburn.  

If you see To Catch a Thief, where Cary Grant is romancing Grace Kelly (who was the same age as Audrey Hepburn) while he does look quite a bit older than her, he's still SUPER attractive, and hot. 

OK, so Cooper was three years older than Grant, but he looks easily 15-20 years older in Love in the Afternoon.  

Kinda sad.

The Tuesday Song of the Week

Got something GRRRRReat today.

Which comes with a funny story.

     'Hippy, Hippy Shake' - The Swinging Blue Jeans

Sometimes I'm in the car, and something I LOVE LOVE LOVE comes on the radio, so I'll crank up the sound to as high as it will go.

Sometimes that song is on, just before I exit the car, to go into Wawa for a hoagie, or go to work.

So, usually, the sound is still at high as it will go when I get back in the car..

Once I returned to the car, turned it on, and this song was on - SO LOUD I almost jumped out of my seat and hit my head.  

If there's any song guaranteed to make you jump, if you innocently happen upon it at 200 decibels or whatever, it's this one.
