A style selection, 1956-1969.

A continuation of sorts from this post.

“[George’s] idea, which he ordered [in Liverpool in the 1950s], was a four-button jacket with cloth-covered buttons. Two breast pockets which were slitted (jetted) and in the shape of a bird in flight, the two side pockets corresponded. The cuffs had to be folded back with a cloth-covered button. His trousers had no pleats in the front, not normal in those days, and he was by far the very first person to have two slits at the bottom side seam of the trouser and he wanted them folded back with cloth covered buttons to match the cuffs on his jacket. The workshop queried the order when they received thinking we had gone bonkers. George got his suit and was pleased with the outcome. Later lots of guys were walking about town with cut back cuffs and side seams on their trousers, but George was the first.” - Rollo Torpey, The Beatles and Me (2015)

“At Iris’s 14th birthday party, I remember George turned up in a brand-new, Italian-style stuff with covered buttons. He looked very grown-up.” - Violet Caldwell (mother of Iris, and Alan, a.k.a. Rory Storm), The Beatles Monthly September 1965

“[George’s mother Louise] took an unusually benign view of George’s luminous pink shirts, yellow waistcoat, and drainpipe trousers.” - Pete Shotton, The Beatles, Lennon, And Me (1984)

“Going in for flash clothes, or at least trying to be a bit different, as I hadn’t any money, was part of the rebelling. I never cared for authority. They can’t teach you experience; you’ve got to go through it, by trial and error.” - George Harrison, The Beatles: The Authorized Biography (1968)

“At the Institute, George was known from the beginning as a way-out dresser. Michael McCartney, Paul’s brother, was a year below him. He remembers George always having long hair — years before anybody else did. […] ‘George used to go to school with his school cap sitting high on top of his hair,‘ says Mrs. Harrison. ‘And very tight trousers. Unknown to me, he’d run them up on my machine to make them even tighter. I bought him a brand-new pair once and the first thing he did was tighten them. When his dad found out, he told him to unpick them at once. “I can’t, Dad,” he said. “I’ve cut the pieces off.”’” - The Beatles: The Authorized Biography (1968)

“I’d started to develop my own version of the school uniform. I had some cast-offs from my brother. One was a dog-toothed check-patterned sports coat, which I’d dyed black to use as my school blazer. The color hadn’t quite taken, so it still had a slight check design to it. I had a shirt I’d bought in Lime Street, that I thought was so cool. It was white with pleats down the front. and it had embroidery along the corners of the pleats. I had a waistcoat that John had given me, which he’d got from his ‘uncle’ Dykins (his mother’s boyfriend), Mr. Twitchy Dykins. It was like an evening-suit waistcoat — black, double-breasted, with lapels. The trousers John also gave me, soon after we first met — powder-blue drainpipes with turn-ups. I dyed them black as well. And I had black suede shoes from my brother. […] That outfit of mine was very risky, and it felt like all day, every day, for the last couple of years I was going to get busted. In those days we used Vaseline on our hair to get the rock n’ roll greased-back hairstyle. Also, you were supposed to wear a cap and a tie, and a badge on your blazer. I didn’t have my badge stitched on, I had it loose. It was held in place by a pen clipped over it in my top pocket, so I could remove it easily, and the tie.” - George Harrison, The Beatles Anthology (2000)

“He was always a pretty snappy dresser, and he did always like that waistcoat look. And he used to wear a V-neck Fair Isle jumper. Sometimes he’d be a little too outrageous, like purple trousers with bright green, but it was fine. Everything seemed to be fine then.” - Pattie Boyd, interview for the British Beatles Fan Club

“The boys are wearing all sorts of fantastic clothes for their film and introduce a very new, unusual gimmick. If they’re wearing corduroy, for example, then they have corduroy boots to match. If they’re seen in velveteen suits, then they’re coupled with velveteen boots. George first thought of the idea two years ago, but when he put the idea to a local bootmaker, he told him it couldn’t be done. Well, that’s one cobbler that’s been proved wrong.” - The Beatles Monthly, June 1965 (x)

Ayn Rand said that having an affair when you are married was an example of rational selfishness. Is selfishness rational?

People who vote for Gym Jordan think like Ayn Rand.

COMMENTARY

Forget the content. I mean, Dagny Taggart is the alter ego of Rand, who had discovered that fucking on a mink coat on her living room floor opened a brand new understanding of sex as sport fucking. It never occurred to her before she had this affair, in Chrysaor Jordan ·answer to this question, with Nathan Branden. Forget all that, It’s true, but it clutters the necessary details.

If you replace “the rational necessity of the extra-marital sex partner” with “eating too much chocolate”, the structures of her argument is an example of how libertarian logic lets you justify anything, morally, that appealed to her.

The children of white Country Club Republicans who expected to inherit their parents privileges and lifestyles as a divine right loved Ayn Rand’s method for both denying the existence of white privilege while defending white privilege with politicians like Gym Jordan.

This is what I mean by “Fascist sophistry”. It’s what Socrates was teaching that led to his death. Sophistry combined with persuasive Rhetoric. It’s like covering road apples with cinnamon and calling it Apple Pie.

Ayn Rand had consciously suppressed her sexuality to that of a young women somewhere between unicorns and menarche. It has to do with a novel she read about a Hero in the Byron Heroic of the Romantic Age. In important ways, her sex life proceed along an axis whe assumed was Reason, itself , but basically nded up at Nietzsche, an orgasm for her the intellectual equivalent of Also Sprach Zarathustra That’s why sex as rape was the subtext of Fountainhead. She bought in entirely with the Archetype of the Ubermunsch and blamed her mother for being born a girl.

In the current moment, she would been a prospect for gender reorientation between 18 and 25. She was a very talented person, make no mistake., but she was like Gum Jordan who could use a sewing machine. Literally.

Fascist sophistry is a useful, if not an essential, tool of the courtroom. The argument that the Declaration of Independence is an example of Fascist reasoning is unavoidable,, which is why George Washington didn’t sign the Tombstone. The Signers knew they were signing their death warrant if the venture failed because it challenged Deus et Mon Droit directly. But they ere all betting that they could create a new nation based on the secular values of life, liberty, fraternity, equality, equity and the Pursuit of Happiness. The concept had been validated by Jamestown of they wouldn’t have wanted to go into business for themselves. But it would require nourishing the roots of the treed of Liberty with the blood of Patriots to ratify the intent of the document.

So, as things go, we all indulge in sophistry to some degree, just to take the edge off of things. But that’s the reason why Objectivism has anything but the popular appeal of Hollywood Tonight.!, Right wingers love Objectivism because it is a way to avoid critical thinking and winning through intimidation. Both sides in the campus Vietnam debate represented opposite side of the same coin of personal happiness as moral necessity fascist sophitry, in contrast to the civil rights movement which proceded on the basis of Critical Race Theory., which is not Fascist sophistry.

The short version is that Rand’s rationalization for extramarital sex is characteristic of people who deny Critical Race Theory. Gym Jordan vs John Lewis.

Or Gym Jordan vs Michael Steele

The Heat Take A 3-0 Lead and I Can’t Stand Jimmy Butler

“The running joke is that Jimmy Butler is Michael Jordan’s son, and I don’t find it funny”

Watching the Miami Heat, is my least favorite part of the 2023 playoffs.

This entire 2023 playoffs has been one long troll job as far as I’m concerned and it all started when those damn Miami Heat proceeded to absolutely wreck the Milwaukee Bucks and while the Sixers were unable to keep my playoff hopes going, I was still kind of leaning on the idea that there was no way the Heat could make the Finals because they aren’t the best team in the Conference.

After taking a 2-0 series lead and taking home court from the “vaunted” Boston Celtics, you had to assume game 3 would be different and the Celtics would finally snap out of whatever this was.

They didn’t. A 128-102 blowout that ended way before the end of the 4th quarter and Jimmy Butler trolled his way through game 3 and the J&J twins, should look at themselves with great dissappointment, and for Jaylen Brown to make so much noise about leaving the team and then come up with 12 points is an indictement of him and what he thinks his value is as an NBA superstar.

Of course, the Boston Celtics looked like a super team in thier comfort zones against the Milwaukee Bucks and then against my Sixers, but the minute they actually have to play, and they actually have to earn every possession and every point, they become the deer in the headlights that we all know Jaylen and Jayson really are.

Jaylen Brown kind of alluded to this in the press conference following game 3, when he gave props to Gabe Vincent, Caleb Martin, Duncan Robinson and Maxi Struss, saying that “we should be able to handle those guys”, and what Jaylen means is that they should be able to not only stop them from shooting, but also attack them off-the-dribble.

Instead the Celtics stars are having the worst individual performances of any star duo in Conference Finals history.

That 4th quarter of game 2, is everything you need to know about the Celtics star players. Jayson Tatum didn’t have a 4th quarter field goal in games 1 or 2 of this series, he didn’t get a chance end this wretched stat in game 3, instead ending the game with just 14 points on 6-18 shooting from the field.

Niether of the stars look up to the challenge of mounting a comeback and it’s probably time for them to get ready for Cancun.

Lastly, I will never ever find joy in anything Jimmy Butler does because he should have been doing this in Philly for the Sixers, and with Joel Embiid!!!!!

It makes me sick that we had this guy and out of dysfunction, stupidity, lack of communication, lack of leadership or lack of vision, we don’t get this version of the absolute scoring, clutch, 2-way machine on our roster, and it’s emotionally taxing to watch Jimmy Butler in the 2023 playoffs.

The running joke on social media and in Youtube comment sections, is that Jimmy Butler is Michael Jordan’s son, and I don’t find the joke funny. At all. It’s absolutely not funny. It’s low brow, sophmoric, toilet humour, and I’m more of a George Carlin guy.

Jimmy isn’t exactly lighting it up in terms of scoring either, falling off a whole bunch from the numbers he had against Milwaukee, but that’s the sad part about it.

Some anonymous NBA scout made sports television news on Friday when he apparently made the same observations about Jimmy Butlers game not being as athletic or forceful as you would see from a prime LeBron, for instance.

The scout was right with some of observations, and very wrong with others, such as compaing him to Kawhi Leonard, but what hurts is that you can easily imagine this version of Jimmy playing along side another star player like a Joel Embiid and we had him. Do you understand that? We had him on our roster!!!!!!!!

So the pain of the 2023 has been compounded ten-fold knowing that once a upon a time, we had this guys on the Sixers and we just couldn’t get out of our own way long enough to see it, and now here he is, about to lead the Heat to the Finals for the 2nd time in 3 years.

Nice isn’t it?

"Back to the Future": Thoughts, commentary, and general ramblings on the (bonkers) novel by George Gipe. Pt 2

Part 1 here.

- Chapter 2 opens with a brief introduction of Doc and his various scientific obsessions over the years, including: the mind-reading helmet, a theory that gold can be mined by super heating the surface of the Earth, and determining a person's age by studying their fingernails? Ok, Doc.

- Contrary to movie-Marty's total silence in the presence of Biff, book-Marty is a sass machine to him, replying to Biff's complaint of spilling beer on himself in the car with, "Maybe the judge who hears you were drinking while driving will pay for it," and soon after making a comment about the cheap suit Biff is wearing. Get him, Marty. And again, this version of Marty is very confident. He's clearly gone head to head with Biff on other occasions if he feels comfortable enough to mouth off like that. This isn't a kid who's going to allow a grown man to call him a butthead. This is a Marty who's about 2 seconds away from throwing hands with Biff Tannen on the front lawn.

- We get a little glance into George's mind and his guilt at not being a more "macho" role model for his sons or being the type of father who taught them how to fight and stand up for themselves or cheer them on at baseball games, etc. But he also notes his relief at the fact that neither Dave nor Marty ever showed interest in sports anyway, which is a little tidbit I appreciate since I've always held the headcanon that Marty McFly has never voluntarily played a sport in his life. And I was RIGHT. Look at Marty and tell me you can picture him picking up a basketball or kicking a single soccer ball aside from being forced to in P.E. classes. He's the kid who can beat any one of his classmates in a schoolyard foot-race, but that's the extent of his athleticism.

- At the dinner table, Marty and Dave play a cute little game of reciting the lines to the Honeymooners episode before the actors can say them, something that is said to be a routine between the two of them since they've seen it so many times. Lorraine gets annoyed and tells them to knock it off and let George watch it in peace. But I enjoy the image of the two brothers bonding at dinner by quoting the dialogue to whatever episode happens to be on each evening.

- Also, Lorraine smiles at Marty and asks about his audition, and when he says it didn't go well, the family rallies around him to cheer him up?? Dave says the audition was probably fixed from the start, and Lorraine says she thinks Marty's band is very good and that she doubts any of the other bands were better than him. Which is just such a contrast to the dinner scene in the movie. I have to wonder if, by the time they were shooting with MJF, these little lines and moments were simply cut due to time constraints (because they made the scene too long or because of Michael's limited availability) or if they just decided, this family is too put together and supportive, let's make them sadder.

- George is really the only Debbie Downer of the scene, going on an even longer rant about all the headaches and stress that come from taking risks and pursuing music. In fact, he brings up so many bummer scenarios that Marty is like, Well, maybe I should just go lie in bed and wait for death to take me? Since being alive only brings problems. Which kind of. Sucks the warm fuzzies right out of the previous moment with his family, doesn't it?

- I guess "Hello, Is Anybody Home?" from the musical took some inspiration from the draft this novel is based on, because Lorraine's words of advice to Linda involve, "It's just bound to happen, like the sun's supposed to come up tomorrow morning," and the musical's line is, "She tells me it'll happen, that the sun will rise and the stars will shine."

- Marty is VERY chatty during this whole dinner scene--mostly making snarky comments and jokes while his mother talks about Uncle Joey and how she and George met. Like...he will not shut up. Got something to say every 4 seconds. Channeling his inner Alex P. Keaton, it seems. Very different from movie-Marty, who sits there silently like a sad little cardboard cutout.

- When Doc later calls to wake Marty up, asks him to pick up the video camera, and tells him the key is still in it's usual spot, Marty points out that it isn't a very good place for a key and the first place a burglar would look. To which Doc notes that the garage is such a disaster, nobody would think to rob him anyway. And this whole exchange delights me because it's almost identical to one I wrote in one of my (unpublished) fics.

- We are told that one night, when Marty snuck out of the house to meet up with his bandmates, Lorraine heard the sound of his skateboard heading down the street and proceeded to chase Marty down in her car. Which gives me a delightful mental image of Marty's eyes going wide with fear as he glances back on a dark street only to be met with blindingly bright headlights as his mother barrels towards him.

- It's when Marty is at the garage to get the camera that we get the scene of all the clocks going off, and there's this line I like a lot: "A smile spread across his face, for he never tired of hearing this strange symphony arranged and orchestrated by the world's most fanatical timekeeper, Doc Brown." So sweet.

- As Einstein begins his trip in the DeLorean, Marty hopes that no police officers come to investigate because it would be very embarrassing to have to arrest "a reckless-driving dog."

- Doc doesn't want to give Marty the exact details of how he procured the plutonium, and when Marty keeps pressing for answers, Doc goes, "What are you, a federal agent?" LOL

- Marty doesn't think it's a good idea for Doc to go into the future. He's concerned society might be run by an army of robots and that they'll take Doc prisoner. Very valid concerns, Marty.

Aaand, that concludes chapters 2 & 3.

Lewis Hamilton: ‘There are so many things to fight for’

In his 14th season in Formula One, Lewis Hamilton has won more races than anyone else. And with his win in Turkey earlier this month, he achieved a milestone not just in his career but in the history of his sport: a seventh world title. But it’s also his actions off the circuit that make him our Game Changer Of The Year, as he takes a knee and raises a fist for the global Black Lives Matter movement

By any standards, even if Lewis Hamilton hadn’t spoken into a single microphone this year and hadn’t sent a single tweet and hadn’t once bent knee to ground in order to shake up the very male and oh-so-pale world of Formula One, he would have had one of the most remarkable years of his life. In winning the Portuguese Grand Prix in October, the 35-year-old surpassed Michael Schumacher’s record of 91 race wins, a feat most in the sport felt untouchable. And with his victory at the Turkish Grand Prix earlier this month, he equalled the German’s seven world championships. As his race engineer Peter Bonnington succinctly put it, “You are rewriting the history books.”

But GQ’s Game Changer Of The Year is not only a sporting great: he has quite literally used his exalted platform – or, more specifically, podium – to raise the issue of race in a sport for which it rarely comes up, precisely because there are so few black faces in it. In taking a knee before races – and even making his team change the colour of its car – he has pushed for change in a world that badly needed changing, consequences and criticisms be damned. GQ spoke to him as he was on the cusp of claiming his seventh championship and found that, both on and off the track, he’s just getting started...

Misan Harriman: What was your motivation when you first decided to take the knee?

Lewis Hamilton: I remember watching the video [of George Floyd’s death]. This life extinguished in front of my eyes by the people who are hired to protect others, and I heard when he was calling for his mum. This happens time and time again and that’s why there’s been such a large cry out. When I was watching it, tears came, so many emotions came up. It brought stuff up of my past. I started experiencing racism when I was five and people looked upon it so lightly, when someone would throw out these words, the bullying and the beatings and the intimidation... My dad always said, “Do your talking on the track,” so I held my tongue, but we suppress a lot of things and all my suppressed emotions came up and I was like, “You know what? I have to do something. I cannot stay silent.” If we all stay silent, it will continue for generations. I look at my niece and nephew and do not want them to experience what I experienced.

How do you feel about the response from F1? Thirteen drivers knelt with you in Spain and I think seven didn’t...

It’s not always a good thing for me, but I often post out of just kneejerk reaction, passion. And I called everyone out. I see all of you out there who have platforms, who have a following and just stay quiet. My team was the first to react. Since I joined, I remember mentioning that this team is not diverse. Year on year, I would talk about how our team is not diverse, how our sport is not diverse. So I got to sit down with my team and get into deep conversation of what is going on. And, you know, we changed the car to black and that had to go through a chain of command. Everyone got on board and it was overwhelming to see the response from our partners, because logo colours had to change. Brands put the issue first rather than themselves. I think as a sport, they were very, very nervous of what the right steps were. We saw the reaction: 13 drivers, as you said, took the knee. Obviously, the ones that didn’t, I don’t know if some drivers were like, “I’m not doing it because this is what Lewis is doing” or whether they didn’t get it... I think there are plenty of people in our sport that still don’t understand what we’re doing.

Do you think it helps that your record is so extraordinary that it adds to your ability to do this within the sport? If you weren’t winning, would it be harder?

Well, you can look at some other sports and there’s some people that aren’t super successful yet, but the more successful [you are], the wider your audience, the wider the impact. I’ve had a very, very difficult life and I’ve been thinking a lot about all these wins. I’ve had a lot of success in my racing career. It’s a great feeling, it’s a real privilege, but what does it really mean? All these numbers... what is it? Why was I the one who was chosen to represent black people in our sport? But I think as my life is unravelling, as the journey unravels itself, my purpose here is to utilise my voice to help encourage change. And my goal, really, is to shift the sport in a direction that it perhaps wouldn’t have gone if I wasn’t here. And most certainly not have gone if the Black Lives Matter movement hadn’t started, if George’s life wasn’t so visible.

You were critical of Vitaly Petrov’s comments about Black Lives Matter before the Portuguese Grand Prix. Was it a mistake for the FIA to appoint him as race steward?

I don’t know whether they call it a mistake. I think that the FIA is a large organisation and they are leaders and if you’re going to state what your values are and what you fight for, yet you hire people who don’t seem to have those in common... I don’t understand. I don’t personally get that. I don’t really know the guy very well and I won’t really comment about whether he’s good or not – I think his results speak for themselves over his career – but I thought that it was a step in the wrong direction or even a step backwards. But, you know, you look at Donald Trump, people can obviously see he’s racist. He even said, “I am the least racist person in this room,” so he’s acknowledging [it]. But people are willing to put aside the fact that he’s said so many bad things about minorities, for wealth or for other policies.

Formula One rules were changed after the Tuscan Grand Prix to effectively ban T-shirts with political statements after your Breonna Taylor message. Will you ignore those rules in the future?

If I believe it is important enough, I will. I will do it again. Going into that weekend, the case with Breonna Taylor had really been on my mind and I’ve been chasing down this shirt for weeks. Every weekend that I arrive, we have the spotlight on us and every weekend there is an opportunity to raise awareness. We don’t live in a time when everything is OK. And I remember as I went through the day I was like, “OK, I’ve got to win this race. I can’t come second and wear this top.” So I remember racing my heart out, pushing with every ounce for first place and I remember getting that win and I was like, “OK. I’m here for you, Breonna.” And I put that shirt on and in the 70 years of our sport, no one’s ever stood up there for anything but themselves. And I was standing up there for someone else. It was one of the greatest feelings.

You’re virtually in uncharted territory, on the verge of a record-equalling seventh F1 world championship. Is it sinking in? Is your operating system even able to process what that means?

I remember winning my first championship when I was ten years old and I remember how great that day was. My dad was – is – a tough man. It was really not easy to make that man happy, but I remember winning that championship and we had the best moment – we went away singing, “We are the champions.” And I remember the relief I had in that period of time, because I wasn’t good at anything else. I struggled at school, no matter how hard I tried. Then I won these other championships and, as I started getting older, I realised it doesn’t change anything. Like, it’s a relief of tension for a second, the muscle can let go, but then you’re like, “OK. What’s next?” And it’s taken time to be present and enjoy the moment for a longer period, because it passes so fast. I never thought I’d get to seven. No one ever believed that I would ever get to seven. And now I’m on the verge of equalling the most successful driver of all time and [have] more race wins and I have a chance to potentially go and win more championships. Even if you just take my name away, there will always be at the pinnacle of our sport someone of colour. So I’m very proud of that and I think that’s probably the thing I’m going to be most proud of.

Do you think you have reached your own limits or do you think you can get even better? And would you love to race everyone in the same car, without any advantage?

Well, firstly, on the driving side of things, you know, I was just doing the race yesterday and I was going through this race realising that I’m getting stronger. My skills are getting sharper – my intuition and understanding of strategy, my understanding of my tires... I’m getting stronger and I didn’t expect that. And I didn’t know at what point I was going to plateau, but I’m realising that I’m getting better and that is a great feeling. But it doesn’t come without the hard work. There’s no coincidence that I’m driving the way I am. And, of course, we do live now in a sport where there’s such a gap between all the teams. And people try to devalue what I do because of the machine that I have, so without doubt, I would love to have everyone in the same car, with a track that enables you to really, really race. And then we’ll see... Like, [Fernando] Alonso, I beat him in my first year, straight out. I was 22 years old, a rookie, and I finished ahead of him. Even today, you know, people talk about Max [Verstappen]. Like, it’s probably never ever going to happen, but if I did have Max come into my team and I did the job I currently do and beat him, people would say, “Oh, it’s rigged.”

What about the rumours of you ever being tempted by the red paint of Ferrari?

That’s not going to happen. The Ferrari thing is not going to happen... I think. I’ve always been positive about Ferrari. I watched Michael win there. I’ve always been a Ferrari fan. I remember one of the first cars I ever bought was a Ferrari. And I think it’s a hugely iconic team and brand, particularly. I think the team has, in my period of time... There have been things I’ve seen that I don’t necessarily feel mirror my values and my approach. However, it is a team that every driver, I think, has dreamed of what it would be like to sit in the red cockpit. No disrespect to them, but when I stop I want to work with Mercedes in helping them be even better in the outside world. You know, they’ll always have beautiful cars, but how can we be a more diverse industry?

So when you stop, what are you going to do? Salsa dancing, fishing, Fifa?

Definitely not salsa dancing. And definitely not fishing. I’m vegan! I’m not going to catch fish out of the sea! There’s a lot of different things that I want to do. I would say on the fun side of things for me, I’d love to try a bit of acting. I love my music, so I’ll continue to do my music. And I want to continue to want to learn to play the piano. I really would love to learn a language. My mum is a dancer, so I may take her to go and do a dance course with her son. But then, on the business side of things, there’s not a lot of black-owned businesses in the Fortune 500, for example, and I’ve had the privilege of working with someone like Tommy Hilfiger, who’s really opened my mind to the fashion industry. And I love that industry. I really do have a dream of one day having a fashion brand that’s fully sustainable, fully ethical. I’m always going to be trying to get involved in tech, because that’s the key to the future, I think. And then, most importantly, working with organisations out there to raise awareness for important issues that I care about. There are so many things to fight for.

Lord Hain, who was a Labour cabinet minister and who vice-chairs the All Parliamentary Group On Formula One, said it was “unacceptable” that you hadn’t had a knighthood yet. Is he right?

Well, it’s the first I’ve heard about this! It’s not what I’m racing for. I’m not like, “I’ve got to win these races so I can be knighted.” My granddad served in the Second World War – I’ve got all his medals – and I was so proud to see Captain Sir Tom get his knighthood this year. I think the unsung heroes are the ones that deserve these things. If I’m one day honoured, I don’t think it’s something I’d say no to, but it’s not an issue for me right now. Like, I’m really grateful. The fact I’ve even had the opportunity to go to Buckingham Palace and I’ve got an MBE – like, wow, a kid from Stevenage, so I’m grateful for that. Look at Captain Tom, he was 100 years old before he got recognised.

The black community, obviously, are very proud of our own and sometimes I think the frustration is your level of success should have been recognised a lot earlier on. And maybe, ironically, your activism is getting that kind of attention, instead of what you’ve done on the track, which is a surreal thing to say. I actually think the Lewis Hamilton of 2020, what you’ve done off the track, is almost making as much noise as you making history by beating Schumacher’s record.

The mixed feelings that I’ve had this year... I could never have ever dreamt of having the year that we’ve had, in the sense of the sadness, the isolation, the trials and tribulations. This is going to be the one I remember the most, I think, and, you know, I still have a job to do: I’ve got to win the seventh title. And when I win that seventh title, what am I going to do with it? I’m still going to be taking a knee and using my voice on that day. But I’m near. I’m closing in on it. I’m still energised. I came back last night [after the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Italy] and I was like, “I can’t believe I just won that race,” but the thing is, the world moves on so fast, you just keep going.

Today we remember the passing of Nuta Kotlyarenko aka Nudie Cohn who Died: May 9, 1984 in Burbank, California

Nuta Kotlyarenko, known professionally as Nudie Cohn, was an American tailor who designed decorative rhinestone-covered suits, known popularly as "Nudie Suits", and other elaborate outfits for some of the most famous celebrities of his era. He also became famous for his outrageous customized automobiles.

Kotlyarenko was born in Kiev on December 15, 1902, to a Ukrainian Jewish family. To escape the pogroms of Czarist Russia, his parents sent him at age 11, with his brother, Julius, to America. For a time he criss-crossed the country, working as a shoeshine boy and later a boxer, and hanging out, he later claimed, with the gangster Pretty Boy Floyd. While living in a boardinghouse in Mankato, Minnesota, he met Helen "Bobbie" Kruger, and married her in 1934. In the midst of the Great Depression the newlyweds moved to New York City and opened their first store, "Nudie's for the Ladies", specializing in custom-made undergarments for showgirls.

Cohn and Kruger relocated to California in the early 1940s, and began designing and manufacturing clothing in their garage. In 1947 Cohn persuaded a young, struggling country singer named Tex Williams to buy him a sewing machine with the proceeds of an auctioned horse. In exchange, Cohn made clothing for Williams. As their creations gained a following, the Cohns opened "Nudie's of Hollywood" on the corner of Victory and Vineland in North Hollywood, dealing exclusively in western wear, a style very much in fashion at the time.

Cohn's designs brought the already-flamboyant western style to a new level of ostentation with the liberal use of rhinestones and themed images in chain stitch embroidery. One of his early designs, in 1962, for singer Porter Wagoner, was a peach-colored suit featuring rhinestones, a covered wagon on the back, and wagon wheels on the legs. He offered the suit to Wagoner for free, confident that the popular performer (like Tex Williams) would serve as a billboard for his clothing line. His confidence proved justified and the business grew rapidly. In 1963 the Cohns relocated their business to a larger facility on Lankershim Boulevard in North Hollywood and renamed it "Nudie's Rodeo Tailors".

Many of Cohn's designs became signature looks for their owners. Among his most famous creations was Elvis Presley's $10,000 gold lamé suit worn by the singer on the cover of his 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong album. Cohn created Hank Williams' white cowboy suit with musical notations on the sleeves, and Gram Parsons' infamous suit for the cover of the Flying Burrito Brothers' 1969 album The Gilded Palace of Sin, featuring pills, poppies, marijuana leaves, naked women, and a huge cross. He designed the iconic costume worn by Robert Redford in the 1979 film Electric Horseman, which was exhibited by the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.

Many of the film costumes worn by Roy Rogers and Dale Evans were Nudie designs. John Lennon was a customer, as were John Wayne, Gene Autry, George Jones, Cher, Ronald Reagan, Elton John, Robert Mitchum, Pat Buttram, Tony Curtis, Michael Landon, Glen Campbell, Michael Nesmith, Hank Snow, Hank Thompson, and numerous musical groups, notably America and Chicago. ZZ Top band members Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill sported Nudie suits on the cover photo of their 1975 album Fandango!.

In 2006, Porter Wagoner said he had accumulated 52 Nudie suits, costing between $11,000 and $18,000 each, since receiving his first free outfit in 1962. The Belgian entertainer Bobbejaan Schoepen was a client and personal friend; his collection of 35 complete stage outfits is the largest in Europe.

Cohn strutted around town in his own outrageous suits and rhinestone-studded cowboy hats. His sartorial trademark was mismatched boots, which he wore, he said, to remember his humble beginnings in the 1930s when he could not afford a matching pair of shoes. He shamelessly promoted himself and his products throughout his career.

Cohn was equally famous for his garishly decorated automobiles. Between 1950 and 1975 he customized 18 vehicles, mostly white Pontiac Bonneville convertibles, with silver-dollar-studded dashboards, pistol door handles and gearshifts, extended rear bumpers, and enormous longhorn steer horn hood ornaments. They were nicknamed "Nudie Mobiles", and the nine surviving cars have become valued collector's items. A Bonneville convertible designed for country singer Webb Pierce is on display at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee. A Pontiac Grand Ville convertible customized by Nudie can be seen at the end of the 1988 Buck Owens/Dwight Yoakam music video, "The Streets of Bakersfield." That same car—which Owens's manager claims was originally built for Elvis Presley—now hangs over the bar inside Buck Owens's Crystal Palace in Bakersfield, California. Two Nudie Mobiles owned by Schoepen remain on display at Bobbejaanland, a Western-themed amusement park near Brussels.

Nudie Cohn died in 1984 at the age of 81. Numerous celebrities and long-time customers attended his funeral. The eulogy was delivered by Dale Evans. Nudie's Rodeo Tailors remained open for an additional ten years under the ownership of Nudie's widow Bobbie and granddaughter Jamie, and closed in 1994.

Cohn's creations, particularly those with celebrity provenance, remain popular with Country/Western and show business collectors, and continue to command high prices when they come on the market. In December 2009, for example, a white Nudie stage shirt owned by Roy Rogers, decorated with blue tassels and red musical notes, sold for $16,250 at a Christie's auction. A Nudie shirt worn by Johnny Cash as grand marshal of the 1976 American Bicentennial Grand Parade in Washington, D.C., and in several subsequent stage performances, sold at auction for $25,000 in 2010.

HBO Max New Releases:. July 2021

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

LeBron James might be out of the NBA playoffs, but he’s still angling to be a big part of the summer entertainment season. That’s because HBO Max’s list of new releases for July 2021 is highlighted by a very special sequel.

Space Jam: A New Legacy premieres on July 16. will find LeBron teaming up with the Looney Tunes in a Warner Bros. IP-extravaganza. Can ‘Bron and the Looney Tunes beat the Goon Squad before Warner Bros.’ server steals LeBron “Bronny” Jr.’s soul (or something)? Let’s hope so. The two other major WB releases this month, No Sudden Move and Tom and Jerry in New York, both come to HBO Max on July 1.

HBO Max is also bringing some fun TV shows to its stream this month. The long-awaited Gossip Girl revival premieres on July 8. That will be followed by Mike White’s satirical limited series The White Lotus on July 11. Ronan Farrow’s excellent book Catch and Kill gets a docuseries adaptation on July 12.

July 1 will see the arrival of library titles like Planet of the Apes, Reservoir Dogs, and Scream. Recent hit Judas and the Black Messiah comes to HBO Max on that date as well. It’s a good month for geek TV with the Doctor Who 2020 Christmas Special (July 1), Nancy Drew season 2 (July 3), and Batwoman season 2 (July 27) all coming home to their streaming residence.

HBO Max New Releases – July 2021

Hi Hazel! I was wondering if you watch F2 and/or F3, and if you do, do you have any favorite drivers there? Who do you think might make it to F1?

Hello,

I do. And I think there’s... well. It’s complicated. There are lots of drivers in F2 and F3 who would be more than capable of driving an F1 car and might well turn out to be excellent.

However, there’s only 20 spots on the F1 grid and that very unlikely to change in the near future. Even if you overlook the $200 million ‘non-dilution’ entry fee for a new team, the investment of an F1 factory makes it very unlikely anyone would set a new one up, rather than take over an existing facility & staff, even for a Haas-style mostly-contracted-parts outfit.

Of those seats, very few are becoming available per year. Realistically, we will probably see three rookies on the grid next year, two at Haas and the names are fairly nailed on for who that would be. Mick Schumacher, as championship leader (and likely to take it, if he doesn’t have an absolutely shocking run in Bahrain) makes perfect sense for promotion and Nikita Mazepin will fulfil the - like it or not - necessary funding to put someone like Mick in the other car.

(which, when you consider the amount of sponsorship, attention and backing the literal son of Michael Schumacher can command in F1 surely does make you think)

Yuki Tsunoda looks pretty set for AlphaTauri, with Marko pressing him to fulfil the requirements for a super license. He’s earned it and it’s good to see Honda achieving their dream of getting a Japanese driver to F1 in their final year in the sport - whether he has a long-term future there will then depend on how he holds up against the very intimidating pressure of Pierre Gasly, who could easily make him look like a total idiot, as a rookie.

(not because Pierre is a bad person or would set out to mince Yuki to bits, just because he’s very, very good and now experienced and established in the team and that’s a hell of an ask for a rookie to try to match, let alone compete with)

Callum Ilott is certainly good enough to get to F1 but has had appalling reliability this year (and some straight up bad luck) and Jack Aitken has had a nightmare run in F2 but was the man who took it to George Russell in their GP3 days, would certainly have the mettle to cut it in F1 if an opportunity came up.

The Renault academy’s pipeline blockage is well documented but Guanyu Zhou and Christian Lundgaard could certainly step up. I suspect after last season Max Fewtrell is out (they have to secure a top three finish to continue) and that’s the brutality of the junior sausage machine.

Likewise, there’s plenty of names in F3 that could progress but the odds start getting sketchy, at the final stage. There’s no seats to go to, in most professional series - even if you yeet off F1′s minuscule chances - because factory programmes have been cut left, right and centre during this year’s financial difficulties. Plus the already-ongoing decimation of grids like DTM and issues securing gentleman drivers to fund the paid ones in WEC or ELMS teams (due to the overall economic downturn) the future really ain’t all that bright.

The good thing is that F2 and F3 are making cost-saving measures to help drivers get through the series and reduce the burden. It might only slightly rationalise it, from completely outrageous levels (F2 is about €2 million per season) but it will hopefully have some effect in allowing drivers to still secure sponsorship to race there for a few years, while the system settles back down a bit.

There has been a Red Bull-induced rush to hurtle people through the junior ranks and consider any 22 year old too old to even look at but I really hope that stops, with this disruption, at the very least. Drivers taking time to develop isn’t problem but rushing them in too green certainly can be (see how Lance Stroll’s struggled - and tbh Verstappen, as well, in his first few years, even if he had the raw pace) so if there’s anything to be gained by a kink in the line holding people back a little, I hope it’s that they eventually make it to the upper echelons as more complete drivers.
