Michael Sheen on David Tennant: So then if you've got someone who is supposed to be your absolute enemy in the opposite, how does that work if you're full of love for them? And I think he just sort of falls in love with Crowley over the hundreds and hundreds... the millennia that they spend together. So that helps because David is very easy to fall in love with. So I just spent most of my time just gazing at him lovingly.

Sam Reid on Jacob Anderson: Yeah, I don’t really know what they were looking for or how you’re supposed to gauge chemistry from that, because it was really glitchy and we were all speaking on top of each other and trying really hard to act into the camera, which just wasn’t working. But look, I really… Jacob is such a lovely person, such a really fantastic actor and so easy to be around. And I could see that he was going to be a very easy person to fall in love with. So it was fun. In fact I just came from having ice cream with Jacob and he says hello.

John Turturro on Christopher Walken: My thinking was, 'Who could I fall in love with?' I worked with Chris many times, I've directed him. When there's someone you can laugh with and have fun with, that's a form of love, really. You just get someone, and they get you. You know what I mean? I love Chris. He's a beautiful guy. We have so much fun... And I like being not the oldest person on the show.

Eubie Blake: A Ragtime and Jazz Pioneer

Introduction: James Hubert “Eubie” Blake was a composer, pianist, and bandleader whose contributions to ragtime and early jazz helped shape American music in the 20th century. Born in 1887 and active well into his later years, Blake’s career spanned an era of massive transformation in popular music, from the heyday of ragtime to the rise of swing and beyond. His work as a composer, particularly…

Tommy Walker and Cousin Kevin in a nutshell

As Gernsback's example had shown, it was useful for a pulp or magazine publisher to create multiple publishing companies, and most did so. When trouble arose, one company could be placed into bankruptcy and have its intellectual property bought out by one of the publisher's other companies. The purchaser company would then be legally shielded from responsibility for paying the debts of the bankrupt company (even though the editors stayed the same, as did the office addresses). Those unpaid debts included money owed to the hapless writers, some of whom were already getting a bad deal by being paid "upon publication" instead of "upon acceptance." Payment upon publication forced writers to wait weeks and months for their payments, with no guarantee that their work would ever see print. It was a delaying tactic that allowed publishers to build and manage inventory at no cost while holding onto their money longer—maybe even long enough to see the debt discharged in bankruptcy. A more insidious practice was (to use a modern term) to "repurpose" an author's work: present it as original material by changing the title and the character's names—and stripping away the original copyright notice. The trade magazines of the late 1920s and early 1930s are overflowing with complaints from writers who had been so victimized. One of the chief practitioners of such dirty dodges was Harry Donenfeld, the future publisher of DC Comics, the main rival of Marvel Comics to this day.

—Blake Bell and Dr. Michael J. Vassallo, The Secret History of Marvel Comics (Fantagraphics, 2013): pg. 18.

Martin Goodman, founder of Marvel Comics, would do the same:

It took two years, but on January 5, 1942, the FTC slammed both Goodman and Silberkleit for deceptively reprinting stories as new fiction, substituting new titles for the original titles, changing the names of characters and, "without obtaining the sanction or authorization of the authors of stories, [substituting] pseudonyms or so-called 'house names' for the authors' names or pen names." They were also sanctioned for stripping the original copyrights and claiming the work as their own.

Over the next two decades, three more FTC judgments against Goodman would follow. (Ibid., pg. 28-29.)

Gernsback, it's worth noting, is Hugo Gernsback, publisher of Amazing Stories and namesake of the Hugo Awards. Silberkleit is Louis Silberkleit, the L in MLJ Magazines, the precursor of Archie Comics.

Reading Jekyll & Hyde and there’s a description of “shady lawyers, and the agents of obscure enterprises”.

If that doesn’t sum up Saul Goodman, I don’t know what does 😂

I'm sorry, I went down a rabbit hole confirming that Gene Krupa was in fact the original best known drummer on Sing! Sing! Sing! with Benny Goodman. But one weird link led me to this short film about a drummer, called The Drummer:

19 minutes of your life definitely not wasted.

Edit: deeper rabbit hole. Did not know that Sing Sing Sing was written by Louis Prima (such a Prima song!) but Goodman's orchestra is more famous for it.

Edit 2: Prima's original had lyrics!

Japanese-American taiko drumming brings a lot of the rhythms of jazz into the traditional Japanese art, so Benny Goodman + taiko is actually not that big of a stretch.

Still, this is pretty dang cool!
