It’s rare when a series revival is an improvement over the original… but that seems to be the case with Thundercats. In case you couldn’t make it to Wondercon this past weekend, here’s the “sizzle reel” they ran there:
Something we are not showing at the Rankin-Bass tribute on Tuesday is Thundercats, the studio’s 1985 response to Filmation’s He-Man. As you may know, Warner Bros. (who now own the property) is preparing an update for Cartoon Network. And from the look of things, they may have improved upon the premise:
Horror has captured the heart (of Americans, with a plethora of new shows about vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and zombies. The CW announced that it bought a script for a zombie drama titled "Awakening," which will be geared toward young women.... Read the rest of this post
I was working at my desk in my dorm room at NYU. The radio was on, as always. Vin Scelsa was on the air. I may be Station tuned to the place where rock lived-- emphasis on past tense-- WNEW-FM in New York City. It was in the 11:00 PM hour when I heard the news. I froze. Phones rang from room to room. Doors flung open, faces in disbelief, white shock. I went back to the radio, back to the music where rock lived, and Vin Scelsa, mourning with us, played Bruce's JUNGLELAND.
John Lennon was dead? Dead? No way. No no no way.
Twenty-seven years later and the loss of John Lennon still shocks the conscience and breaks the soul. A light of the universe went out that night, taking with it the creative genius that gifted this world with his lyrics and music. The music didn't die. It never does. From http://www.coreylevitan.com/features/lennon.html (LET ME TAKE YOU DOWN:) "If it wasn't for John Lennon, a lot of us would be in some place much different. It's hard to come out here and play tonight, but there's nothing else to do." -- Bruce Springsteen to a Philadelphia concert audience, Dec. 9, 1980
"beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy"
Someone else remembers the annoucement on the radio as I did: "I was actually listening to the radio in New York that night (I'm old) and this sounds real to me. I only wish the person had captured Vin Scelsa on WNEW-FM who was one of the first to announce that a wire story had a person identified as John Lennon being shot outside the Dakota. He said he hoped it was not true. Then he played Bruce Springsteen's "Jungleland" all the way through. And when it was over he said, unfortunately, it was true and Lennon was dead. I will never forget that night."
I really love your small creatures. Could be great as tatoos too
