	2:11pm davefromtoronto: man i saw so many great films at the drive in! that little speaker you hung in your window never sounded better!
	🌮 ♥ 2:12pm David The Splatter: ↳ Zip7 @2:07 If the USPS hadn't discontinued its custom postage program, you could have all the JDB stamps we'd want. Tragic.
	🌮 ♥ 2:13pm Deano de los Muertos: I first knew him from Cape Fear, but I’m at the tender age of just over 40
	♥ 2:15pm Carmichael: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @2:13 Aah, you need to age, man ...

	2:18pm florida: i used to choke on the pot with paraquat
	🌮 ♥ 2:18pm Zip7: A friend on the faculty at Texas A&M said that an alumnus donated his large farm to the school with the stipulation they keep the name. So Texas A&M will apparently have a new "Peckerwood Acres" research lab.

	🌮 ♥ 2:22pm Mailman Tom: The Outsider with Darren McGavin was great, but they had to tone down the gun violence because of the censors. It was too soon after RFK and MLK

	2:25pm annette: we got so cold we put our gloves on our feet just to watch the show.
	2:26pm davefromtoronto: i saw "i spit on your grave" the other night for the first time. wow. you must have seen that one.
	🌮 ♥ 2:27pm Mailman Tom: ↳ JOE FROM DC @2:24 Casey Crime Photographer was McGavin's first TV series done in 1952. No prints exist which is a cryin' shame!
	2:27pm davefromtoronto: ↳ William Hellfire @2:23 that was for you mr hellfire.
	2:28pm annette: want to piss on a couple of graves. but...God never sleeps
	2:29pm Edward: I ask again: anyone know the source of that clip with the guy who wanted to visit his mom in the ape cage?
	🌮 ♥ 2:29pm David The Splatter: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @2:24 That wasn't JDB's fault. He can't save everyone, you know?
	2:29pm florida: fear nuthin , personal motto
	🌮 ♥ 2:29pm Zip7: ↳ Elle Tor’s Husband @2:24 Yep! As president of MGM Records he stated Curb said, "Drug groups are the cancer of the industry. Their effect on young people who are their fans or followers is devastating. When they appear smashed out of their minds and describe musically a great experience they had on LSD, they are glorifying hard drugs. I credit hard drug record acts with hundreds and hundreds of new young drug users."
	♥ 2:30pm William Hellfire: ↳ davefromtoronto @2:27 Love that film! We just watched Gator Bait and Erin mentioned ISOYG.
	🌮 ♥ 2:30pm Mailman Tom: ↳ davefromtoronto @2:26 Filmed in Litchfield County Connecticut

	♥ 2:33pm Carmichael: I saw a movie last night about 3 Scottish brothers who kill their abusive father and bury him in the woods. Then they realize they forgot to get the key to the safe from his pocket, so they go dig him back up. Surprise, he's gone!
	♥ 2:34pm JOE FROM DC: ↳ Zip7 @2:29 And a few years later, MGM records disappeared.
	2:35pm Audiocarp: ↳ JOE FROM DC @2:34 A lot of labels started by movie companies disappeared
	♥ 2:37pm Carmichael: ↳ Zip7 @2:29 Despite that (or maybe because of that), his song "Burning Bridges" was featured over the closing credits of Kelly's Heroes.
	🌮 ♥ 2:37pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Song: "Fraternity U S A" by "The Lady Bugs" I'd rather die than go to a frat house.
	🌮 ♥ 2:40pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "What a Crazy Guy (Dufo)" by "Wally Cox" Wally was Marlon Brando's best buddy.
	🌮 ♥ 2:40pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Song: "What a Crazy Guy (Dufo)" by "Wally Cox" Jusda liddle joyride, you know

	2:44pm florida: holy shit had no clue that was wally cox , oh yeah rember him well
	🌮 ♥ 2:45pm Zip7: I thought Mike Curb was a little too smoove for the likes of "Blood Hound"
	2:47pm Albert Albert: hey get a grip and don't bug me!!
	2:48pm Audiocarp: ↳ Song: "Slide" by "The Bugs" Very far out!
	2:49pm Audiocarp: ↳ Mailman Tom @2:41 No idea he made records
	2:50pm Bluto: may I cut in?
	🌮 ♥ 2:54pm David The Splatter: Time to go for me. Thanks, Rex! Wonderful show. P.S.: Got my CHIP CLIP in the mail this week. :D bsky.app...
	♥ 2:54pm Carmichael: ↳ Bluto @2:50 My advice to you is to start drinking heavily
	2:55pm Audiocarp: That Bugs was really too much. I’d like to know more about it
	🌮 ♥ 2:56pm Mailman Tom: ↳ Audiocarp @2:49 Me neither! I'll have to check out a few Mr. Peepers TV shows on YT
	🌮 ♥ 2:58pm The Butterman: Tanks, Rex. A++
	🌮 ♥ 2:59pm Erin Hellfire: Thanks, Rex!! ❤

	2:18pm florida: i used to choke on the pot with paraquat
	🌮 ♥ 2:18pm Zip7: A friend on the faculty at Texas A&M said that an alumnus donated his large farm to the school with the stipulation they keep the name. So Texas A&M will apparently have a new "Peckerwood Acres" research lab.
	🌮 ♥ 2:18pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Carmichael @2:15 I work at it every day..
	2:19pm annette: btw...me and the girls. we got turned down at local dirty theater because one was 3 days under age

	🌮 ♥ 2:22pm Mailman Tom: The Outsider with Darren McGavin was great, but they had to tone down the gun violence because of the censors. It was too soon after RFK and MLK

	2:28pm annette: want to piss on a couple of graves. but...God never sleeps
	2:29pm Edward: I ask again: anyone know the source of that clip with the guy who wanted to visit his mom in the ape cage?
	🌮 ♥ 2:29pm David The Splatter: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @2:24 That wasn't JDB's fault. He can't save everyone, you know?
	2:29pm florida: fear nuthin , personal motto
	🌮 ♥ 2:29pm Zip7: ↳ Elle Tor’s Husband @2:24 Yep! As president of MGM Records he stated Curb said, "Drug groups are the cancer of the industry. Their effect on young people who are their fans or followers is devastating. When they appear smashed out of their minds and describe musically a great experience they had on LSD, they are glorifying hard drugs. I credit hard drug record acts with hundreds and hundreds of new young drug users."
	♥ 2:30pm William Hellfire: ↳ davefromtoronto @2:27 Love that film! We just watched Gator Bait and Erin mentioned ISOYG.

	♥ 2:33pm Carmichael: I saw a movie last night about 3 Scottish brothers who kill their abusive father and bury him in the woods. Then they realize they forgot to get the key to the safe from his pocket, so they go dig him back up. Surprise, he's gone!
	♥ 2:34pm JOE FROM DC: ↳ Zip7 @2:29 And a few years later, MGM records disappeared.
	2:35pm Audiocarp: ↳ JOE FROM DC @2:34 A lot of labels started by movie companies disappeared
	♥ 2:37pm Carmichael: ↳ Zip7 @2:29 Despite that (or maybe because of that), his song "Burning Bridges" was featured over the closing credits of Kelly's Heroes.
	🌮 ♥ 2:37pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Song: "Fraternity U S A" by "The Lady Bugs" I'd rather die than go to a frat house.
