A French icon of the Sixties is gone at age 70. The undeniably attractive and sweetest of mademoiselles, France Gall was one of the most popular ingenues of her time.

“Skype” Trump
Instead of appearing in person before the press yesterday, in an obvious attempt to deflect attention away from the Michael Wolff book, Trump offered a self-serving statement via video.
I’ll Never Trust the Sun Again
“Don’t worry, I won’t burn you,” the Sun said, while giving me a melanoma. But I’m cured! The dermatologist got all of it on the first try, and the biopsy is clear. What a huge relief!
Caught in a Mechanical Rice Picker
I feel like Mr. Spock in “The City on the Edge of Forever.” Why? Because yesterday I had the first of at least two, and perhaps three, surgeries to remove melanoma skin cancer from my head.
A huge bandage, at least an inch thick, now covers the open wound, that the dermatologist said is “very large,” being about the size of a quarter. So I’m keeping a stocking cap handy, in case the doorbell rings, to cover my head. In a couple of weeks I will undergo plastic surgery to make myself more presentable.
Totally Tubular!
Mike Oldfield’s “Tubular Bells” became a sensation in 1973, helped in part by its use in “The Exorcist,” a genuinely scary movie that I saw as a college freshman with a very nice girl named Mary Wilson.
I’d always assumed that “Tubular Bells” existed only as spliced-together overdubs, until I watched this amazing live BBC performance by a very young Oldfield and his equally young friends. The narration towards the end by Viv Stanshall was pre-recorded, and it’s sort of a variation of his Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah band track, “The Intro and the Outro.”
