Hello everyone. Today I’m checking out an American icon who just hit the 90 year old milestone, Loretta Lynn. Loretta Lynn was born April 14th 1932.

The Police are an English Rock band formed in London in 1977. The band consists of lead singer Sting, guitarist Andy Summers, and drummer Stewart Copeland. This was one of the most influential bands back in the late seventies and eighties. They had a number of hits including Roxanne, Message in a Bottle, and Every Breath You Take. One of my all-time favorite songs is one from their early days So Lonely. They had a very distinct sound from Sting’s vocals to the unique drum play from Copeland. Sting got his…

Dennis Rodman has been in the spotlight in recent years. Most may remember him from his wild days with the Chicago Bulls. Dennis has always been a unique individual. He has become very popular in my world and I’ve been tracking down some good stuff from him. Dennis was a large part of The Last Dance documentary and I have found several interesting interviews of him over the years. Recently there was an ESPN 30 for 30 film done on Dennis and although I have not watched this yet I can’t…

September 20, 2020September 20, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffbooks, Carrie Fisher, Pop Culture, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

I recently stumbled upon the Audiobook “Wishful Drinking” written and read by Carrie Fisher. This was a very interesting book. The book talks about Carrie growing up with 2 famous parents. Her mother Debbie Reynolds who was an actress and most famous for her roll in “Singing in the Rain” and her Father Eddie Fisher who was a singer and actor. Eddie was most popular in the 1950s, and was in the headlines when he left Debbie for actress Elizabeth Taylor. The couple were the Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston of the times…

Today I am going to revisit the tragic story of Sharon Tate. Recently I was watching the Pilot episode and various episodes after of The Beverly Hillbillies. This was a show I grew up watching as a kid and I had never seen any of the early episodes. What a great series this is, but that is a story for another day. I googled the cast to see who was still alive and I noticed one character that was born in 1943 and died in 1969. I wasn’t sure what had…

Frances Bean Cobain was born on August 18th 1992, named after Frances McKee of the Vasalines. Frances of course was born into the grunge life and perhaps the heyday of grunge to Kurt and Courtney Cobain. 2 of the most iconic grunge singers with Nirvana who started the Grunge hype, and Hole 2 of my all time favorite bands. Daughter to 2 of the most powerful singers in history, Frances was sure to be a Grunge goddess, or perhaps it would be an unbelievable burden to try and live up to…

Get The Skinny on ‘ROCKETMAN’ (Spoiler Warning)!

June 3, 2019June 3, 2019 Serpentorslair StaffElton John, Movie Reviews, Music, Pop Culture, Rocketman0 comment

Elton John, I was too young to remember him or too young for him to impact me. I do remember his music videos from the eighties and of course The Lion King Soundtrack. He is still standing. I went expecting (whoops) a documentary still autobiography or something like that. What you actually get is a Broadway play. It opens with Elton in his orange horned devil outfit. Elton is walking down a hallway and joins an addiction meeting. From there we start to see his past. Reginald, at a very…

This one might just be a crazy thought, but it will be fun to see if I could get some outside interaction going. If you could travel back in time and spend a week with one famous person who would it be, I’m going to do 5 just to try and get it rolling. Babe Ruth The Babe, The Bambino, the Sultan of Swat, born in 1895. What would be better then spending a week with the Babe when he played for the New York Yankees in the 1920’s. I…
