Preservation Act 2 by The Kinks -May 1974
According to Wiki, Act 2 charted higher (Billboard 114) than Act 1 (Billboard 177). Neither is an impressive show.

NOT OF THIS EARTH (1957) - ROGER CORMAN gets talked about a lot, really a lot of junkie movies that I find mostly boring (or absurd) but his one is only remembered by people my age from TV broadcasts... when it scared us... It was available at YouTube, but I don't see it around. Don't know if TCM broadcast it.

The Master of Ballantrae (1953)
Two favorites! ERROL FLYNN and ROGER LIVESEY !
I think ERROL FLYNN's film ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN (1948) is a lot of fun, but not much celebrated...

Preservation Act 1 by The Kinks -Nov 1973
For a major group, their record sales continued to decline precipitously.

And about his relationship with brother Dave, in 2013 I was at book signing for Ray's next book Americana. There was a radio host interviewing him, he was asked how Dave was. His first reply was "Dave who?" with his cheeky grin. He then said he was doing alright and he writes some great music. The audience applauded but when it died down, he couldn't resist adding "But he's a punk!"
I had read one of the biggest problems with THE KINKS touring was the brothers fighting all the time.
Speaking of "nobody listening" to :

?? Maybe Mr. Trebek had a nice way of saying "Good" when he approved of something?? I'm embarrassed to admit, I never really watched Jeopardy.. "That said", I understand Alex was an exceptionally decent and intelligent man, and I'm proud he was Canadian. (but of course most Americans probably don't know that.)
We know! ALEX was proud of his Canadian heritage and made sure his viewers knew it! And yes! It was wonderful to have ALEX approve or confirm your correct response. "Celluloid Heroes" is one of RAY DAVIES best.

I'd put "Celluloid Heroes" up there in the top 20 Ray Davies compositions, which is really saying something, since I think this guy was a great song-writer.
ALEX TREBEK: Good!

Especially this track, which to me is wonderfully melancholy and moody, especially with that bluesy piano bit at around 4:20 or so .
That recording is included in that DAVE BRUBECK collection I was listening to... and I would not have looked if you hadn't pointed it out. Thanks! Bluesy Jazzy melancholic mid-century urban... right up my alley.

"Celluloid Heroes" a beautiful, poignant tribute to classic film stars
Aside from Village Green songs, there aren't many KINKS songs I love and that's one of them. Wonderful.

Maybe we could agree it was a collaborative effort.
I'd guess the only BYRDS album GRAM PARSONS was on is Sweetheart Of The Rodeo. I know his tenure with BYRDS was brief. I owned one or two BYRDS collections on vinyl eventually, but the only album of theirs proper I bought (and sometimes still listen to) is Sweetheart Of The Rodeo. Ah! Yes! Yet another poor seller! "NOBODY BOUGHT IT!"

ok, right, I won't argue with that. Maybe we could agree it was a collaborative effort. (But Gram Parsons was better looking. 😐 )
Oh no, I totally disagree. CHRIS HILLMAN was always handsome even with his manfro 50 years ago... 'course he was younger than any of his bandmates... I do think GRAM PARSONS was an enormous talent - I have his two albums and also the first two ("real") FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS albums which I both love (they "didn't sell" either - very poor sales).

Of course he brought country to The Byrds
I think it's fair to start with CHRIS HILLMAN as far as bringing Country to THE BYRDS...

Ok, I scrolled back. I guess I'm in the "nobody" category, because I love all those albums and still listen to them. Great music never becomes dated.
When I talk records, I am hyperbolic. I am also reactionary because I still reference my 1979 and 2004 RS Record Guides. I have a friend who gets annoyed when I'd say something like Bat Out Of Hell? Everybody bought it! She'd then point out that she had not (and misunderstood again, I don't point out that I hadn't bought it either!)

The movie was shown as part of TMC's "body Image" series where she was portrayed as a victim.
I was being facetious.
Uhm... yes. So was I.

The Kinks, like a lot of Brit groups, loved American country music in a way that their U.S. counterparts seemingly didn't.
There is truth in this statement, GRAM PARSONS certainly failed to ignite public interest in his Country Rock Folk hybrid ("Cosmic American Music" he called it). There are, however, other bands of that era interested in Country...
36 minutes ago, misswonderly3 said:I don't know if Muswell Hillbillies is one of the first Kinks albums you've explored, but if you're interested, I recommend just about everything they did between 1966 to 1970, especially Something Else, Village Green, and Arthur.
There are other reviews by DetJim on each of those, go back a page or two.

Wait! So she was led astray by an evil MAN who took advantage of her body image-ism-ness?!?!
I don't know 'bout that, but she is a child murderer. I don't feel sorry for Martha at all.

Ugh. That movie must be JOHN WAYNE's worst. Even THE CONQUEROR has amusement.
