EVERY BILLBOARD #1 HIT (1960 – 1969) WITH VIDEO
In chronological order.
A lot of work went into this:
Some #1 hits from successive weeks achieved very different levels of future fame.
October 10, 1960 – Larry Verne singing “Mr. Custer.” I don’t remember him or the song.
one week later – The Drifters singing “Save the Last Dance for Me,” a song familiar to everyone and covered many times over the years.
The same group has also done the 1950s, the 1940s and several themed compilations.
It’s fascinating to see the sorts of songs that were hits before rock dominated the charts. In October of 1955, the #1 song was The Yellow Rose of Texas, sung by Mitch Miller and the gang! On January 1, 1950, it was Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer, sung by Gene Autry.
In the 1940s, my favorite discovery was the 5 weeks starting July 3, 1948, when the #1 hit was the Woody Woodpecker theme, from Kay Kyser. (And I thought the music of the 1970s was bad! Terry Jacks would have seemed like a musical genius in the 1940s. OK, maybe not.)
Gia Carangi naked, real and fictional
Some people called her the first supermodel. Her first major modeling job was with Versace when she was just 18. She was the favorite model of many top fashion photographers, including Arthur Elgort, Helmut Newton and Francesco Scavullo.
“Modeling,” she once said, “is a short gig.” That was certainly true in her case. Her career was a short one (5 years), as was her life (26 years). She became addicted to heroin and eventually died of AIDS-related complications. The virus was presumed to have been contracted from a contaminated needle.
Most of these images were photographed by Chris von Wangenheim in the late 1970s. The other woman in the “fence” pictorial is Sandy Linter, who was not a model, but was very close to Carangi, and was persuaded to join the shoot.
Angelina Jolie portrayed Gia in a 1998 biopic, within which she re-created the famous fence scene with Elizabeth Mitchell. They had some love scenes as well.
I believe that was the only nudity of Mitchell’s career.
25 Hilarious Construction Mistakes
The pictures prove that forward thinking and planning aren’t really important to some project managers.

This is the MiLB team that Last Week Tonight with John Oliver is going to rebrand
Congratulations to the Erie SeaWolves, you’re about to be called something else. We are going to research your area and come up with a new name, mascot and theme night for you that nobody else in the league has and that can only come from Erie. As per our original offer, you will get no input into this. … You will take what we have and you will like it. All you have to do is sign your contract. I promise this is going to be great.
Erie has a high crime rate, a high poverty rate, a dying inner city, a shrinking population, and dismal weather. I’ve been there and have driven through there many times, and the most positive thing I have to say is that it is not the worst place in America with a two-syllable name, courtesy of Gary, Indiana.
I Googled “famous people from Erie, Pa,” and the top answer was Alaska Thunderfuck. You think I’m joking, but that is the god’s honest truth:
As much as I would love to hear the phrase “Go, Thunderfucks” echo through the stadium, there’s not much you can do with any of the above info:
- The Erie Overcast? (Free Vitamin D night!)
- The Erie Stag Nation? (Go, Harts! Ladies’ day would be Hind Day)
- The Erie Glow? (Have you seen the rust belt at sunset?)
It will not be easy to create something affirmative. On the brighter side:
1) How about the Rust Belt Rustlers, who steal bases instead of cattle? The Rustler himself could be a cute mascot, and could spin off shirts and toys
2) Erie is sometimes called the Gem City for inexplicable reasons, so they could call them the Gem City ________. The Gem City Diamonds has a built-in baseball theme, and would actually work as a permanent name
3) I like the Erie Coincidence, and it has great potential for theme nights, but I can’t seem to come up with an idea for a mascot.
Those are OK suggestions, but they are too serious. I think Oliver is planning something far more outlandish. The funniest gem name that I know of is fukalite, but I don’t think that the Gem City Fukalites will fly, as much as I would like it to.
Go, Fukalites! Here is your mascot, “COCK IN LIGHT SOCKET MAN.” (Because everything is on the internet somewhere. Just Google “fucking a light.”)
Harvard bought a Magna Carta copy for $27. It turned out to be an original.
Harvard Law School bought a copy of the Magna Carta from legal book dealer Sweet & Maxwell for $27.50 in 1946. Nearly eight decades later, two researchers have discovered it’s actually an original version.
One clarification. This is not the original Magna Carta, as implied by my headline. That was “signed” in 1215, and then parchment copies were distributed throughout the kingdom. Four of those 1215 copies are still around today, but that’s not what Harvard has. The Harvard library has a confirmation issued by Edward I in 1300. (That’s still a big deal. It’s an official 700-year-old version of the Magna Fucking Carta!)
I placed “signed” in quotations because scholars believe that the first version of the document was not signed ceremonially by King John, as represented in lore, but rather stamped with the royal seal.
