Well, that one sent me down a body mod/furry/native American rabbit hole of websurfing for about 45 minutes. O_o.

There is nothing O_o about Native American tradition, but get the furry transethnic thing involved and my right eye grows suddenly huge.

Oh, no. I'm a big Hagman fan (wearing my J.R. Ewing t-shirt as I read/write here). He still brought it in this recent Dallas revival, but the fact that they shot around his cancer treatments as much as they did didn't seem to bode well.

His appearance on 'Shooting Stars' is rightly famous, Nancy Banks-Smith in The Guardian said Hagman 'looked like a man in a nightmare'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy5UTHaRs8U&hd=1

You co-starred with Lauren Bacall in the 1973 made-for-TV movie “Applause.” Tell me why you licked her the first time you met her.
I had been rehearsing with her stand-in for two weeks before I met her, and I was told, “Do not kiss her, and do not touch her if you can help it,” and it was driven into my mind. So I am ushered into her dressing room, and she presented her hand kind of like the Dowager Empress Maria Theresa of the Austro-Hungarian empire would offer her hand. I just couldn’t resist it. I licked her from her hand up to her elbow. She held it in check very well, though I do think it may have colored our relationship

I don't know what the hell "Shooting Stars" is, but I imagine that's the sort of clip Japanese people play to show how fucked up Western game shows are.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 24 November 2012 21:29 (thirteen years ago)
Shooting Stars was the attempt to transfer Vic & Bob to game show (see also Families At War), which they used as an attempt to launch Ulrika Jonsson's comedy career. The best period was the first three (?) series, the Mark Lamarr era, especially John Peel trying to climb into a baby's pram but a late highlight was Donald Cox The Sweaty Fox.
― Troughton-masked Replicant (aldo), Saturday, 24 November 2012 21:41 (thirteen years ago)
vic & bob is basically surreal/non sequitur humour combined with running gags that you couldn't possibly get unless you've seen loads more of their stuff
― 炒面kampf (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 24 November 2012 21:43 (thirteen years ago)
the first vic & bob exposure i ever had was concert footage in which they said 'and now, here's the man with the stick' and a man walked on stage with a stick and the crowd went UTTERLY BONKERS and then the man with the stick left again. my face at the time == hagman's face upthread
― 炒面kampf (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 24 November 2012 21:46 (thirteen years ago)
Ah, see, I love the Man With The Stick. Graham Lister on Novelty Island doing Three Laughs With Lard was the first real WTF moment for the viewing public I think.

i feel like hags was at death's door ever since dallas ended, feel like there was a time when the tabs were showing him exiting hospitals and crowing about "months to live", and this was pre-"nixon". good for him for hanging around to a respectable age tbh.

Frank Barsalona
One of Barsalona's lasting legacies was to see that musicians' compensation and treatment improved whereby they could earn a good portion of their living through touring and beyond selling records. He is also credited with vastly improving the fan experience upgrading the quality of live rock performances.
