usnatarchives: It’s Bike to Work Day! For today’s Flashback Friday post in honor of our exhibit “Searching for the Seventies”  we found this DOCUMERICA photo of a bike in El Paso, Texas, in 1972. Did you have a bike in the 1970s? Did it have a banana seat? Streamers flowing from the handlebars?

nprmusic: Woody Herman was a soulful reedman, an amazing talent scout for decades and a bandleader of one of the country’s most popular acts. Born in 1913, Herman led “Thundering Herds” that were both big draws and well-respected by the likes of Igor Stravinsky. For his 100th birthday, here are five recordings which still sound fresh today. Photo: William Gottlieb/Library of Congress

fuckyeahfonda:

Happy Birthday Henry Fonda!

(16 May 1905 - 12 August 1982)

What is so fascinating to me about Fonda as a talent is I don’t think if you took a stick and beat him he could do anything false, he’s incapable. As a performer… he’s pure. He’s like a barometre of truth on the set. Fonda has the inner resource to make the lines deeply true. Great actor. I don’t use that term often.

“It’s like everything, everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out any more. We sit in the house, and the world we live in is getting smaller. All we say is “Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything. Just leave us alone.” Well, I’m not going to leave you alone. I want you to get mad! - Network (1976)
