Arthur M. LeeHarvey G. CohenHarvey G. Cohen

Johnny Echols from the band Love talks about how Arthur Lee, leader of Love, was the one who inspired Jimi Hendrix’s famous psychedelic fashion style; Jimi was wearing cardigans previously! And “Jimi looked up to Arthur” in his pre-fame days. Makes sense. https://t.co/cEIFi7Etny

London Fields

Martin AmisHarvey G. CohenHarvey G. Cohen

For 30th anniversary of Martin Amis’ novel “London Fields” in 2019, Elizabeth Nelson @paranoiacs argued it's still brilliant because it shows how little UK has changed since: “a tragedy, comedy, murder mystery, (class) war story & the Great British Novel.” https://t.co/scZgazALkM

Stuart MurdochHarvey G. CohenHarvey G. Cohen

Because of Stuart Murdoch's health, Belle and Sebastian have cancelled their 2023 U.S. tour. Murdoch's comments below indicate he sees it as only a postponement. Hope he recovers fully soon. The band's new LP, their 2nd in 6 months, is their best in years: https://t.co/EYqtyZ85dG

Hitler and Stalin: The Tyrants and the Second World War

Laurence ReesHarvey G. CohenHarvey G. Cohen

Makes a lot of sense President Zelensky has been reading historian Laurence Rees’ book on “Hitler and Stalin.” Could this be why “Ukraine’s leader is avoiding the mistakes of WW2 – while Putin shows every sign of repeating them”? Many examples below: 🇺🇦 https://t.co/5wlcGIKNz1

Walt Whitman

David S. ReynoldsHarvey G. CohenHarvey G. Cohen

Been a Walt Whitman obsessive for decades, but never knew til today 36 seconds of his voice reading a poem exists, recorded in early 1890s⬇️. An unbelievable spiritual treat. If you need more, read his work, or David Reynolds' excellent bio "Whitman's America." Happy birthday sir https://t.co/R5Gn43GJc9 https://t.co/LepvM5i5ZX

Calvin and Hobbes

Bill WattersonHarvey G. CohenHarvey G. Cohen

I probably should mention that, if you look at the samples of the graphics in the new Bill Watterson / John Kascht book, they are VERY different than Watterson's "Calvin and Hobbes" comic strip--not sure why the @Guardian used the graphic that they did. https://t.co/yc7pK77XnJ
