I write books. You consider reading them.

Great cover for the comedy record in which Don Adams does all of Jackie Mason's material.

This will be an ongoing thread where I post the best Canadian Rock n' Roll of the 1960s.

It's a genre that Americans know little about and to which most Canadians pay no attention.

Vancouver, British Columbia. 1967.

Maybe the coolest relic of showbiz history that no one ever talks about.

Designed by architect Arthur Froehlich, the Hanna Barbera Building on Cahuenga Blvd was built at the exact same time that The Jetsons debuted.

And it looks it.

Where It's At Maverick's Flat was an incredible South Los Angeles venue where Richard Pryor frequently performed in the years before the Comedy Store opened.

I got to meet Dick Gregory at Maverick's Flat in 2015.

The walls were like a living museum of Black show business.
