Rest in peace, mighty Steve Cropper.

If you want to hear more about the fantastic guitarist, songwriter and producer he was, he features in two episodes of the podcast.

Below you can listen to Episode 105: “Green Onions” by Booker T and the MGs.

🧵 On 17 December 1976, Thames TV aired a debate about paranormal beliefs. And it turned out to be one of the greatest half hours in British television history. Believe me: it's the best thing you'll see all week.

First off, host Sandra Harris gets things rolling: (1/12)

A letter that reads as follows (incidentally, there's a spot of fruity language coming up, so brace yourself if you're a nun). Anyway, here it is: I am sick and tired of TV chefs telling viewers "ask your butcher to do it." All I hear these days is "can you fillet this for me?" can you bone that?" and "can I have some twine?" No, no and no. Just buy your meat and fuck off. Toby the Butcher, Swindon

At a time when I am feeling tremendously despondent about the future, these words from Alan Moore provide a reason to continue:
However, some of the environmentalists, when they start talking about human failings as a failed species, it would be better if we’d never been here because we’re messing up the planet. No. It’s vital that we’re here, because as far as we know, we are the most intelligent life in the universe and as far as we know, the life that happens to be in this minor planet in a minor solar system is the only biological life in the universe. You’d think that there’d perhaps be more out there but until we know exactly how life formed, we can’t possibly calculate the odds. That's what my money is on. I think we should try to value ourselves a lot more. We should think "there might not be a single scrap of moss, anywhere in the universe, other than here". That puts quite a weight of responsibility on us, doesn't it?

Humphrey’s world: how the Samuel Smith beer baron built Britain’s strangest pub chain
Since the 1970s, Humphrey Smith has acquired scores of pubs and historic properties around the UK. But time after time, he has left the buildings empty. Why has he allowed his empire to moulder?

Showing bottle ships to kittens is a top tier hobby. 1967. digitaltmuseum.org/021018235405...
Black and white photo of a middle aged man with a thick, medium length beard, standing in a wood paneled kitchen. He looks affectionately down at the contents of his hands - a tiny model ship inside of a liquor bottle in his right hand, and a tiny white kitten with a dark patch on its head in his left hand. The kitten seems to be looking at the bottle but is probably just trying to squirm away. It looks very young - maybe 2 weeks.

So, happy 46th anniversary to this surely unimprovable diary entry from Peter Hall in which a young Dinsdale Landen tries to impress an ageing Donald Wolfit, and doesn’t altogether succeed
Excerpt from the Faber Book of Diaries, 1 May 1978: Dinsdale Landen told today a wonderful story of his days as assistant stage manager at Worthing. He was a walk-on when Wolfit was there as guest star, playing Othello, but was not told what to do until the dress rehearsal, at which the great man said it would be a very good idea for Othello to have a page who followed him everywhere. He handed Dinsdale a loin cloth, told him to black-up, and said he'd got the part. Dinsdale did not know the play and just went wherever Wolfit went, the complete dutiful page, always in attendance. But at one point he found himself in a scene in which he felt rather ill at ease; he had an instinct about it. Suddenly he heard the great man's voice roaring, 'Not in Desdemona's bedroom, you cunt.' Peter Hall
