As Summer ends, let’s all hope along with Winnie the Pooh that things are going to be different this winter in the forest
Nobody knew why he was going; nobody knew where he was going. But somehow or other everybody in the Forest felt that it was happening at last. Even Smallest-of-all, a friend-and-relation of Rabbit’s, told himself that Things were going to be Different. ~A.A.Milne #backtoschool

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word.
Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality.
Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too.
Two giants who helped change America. Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾

Marilyn Monroe makes an early appearance in the Marx Brothers comedy Love Happy (1949).
Groucho Marx told an anecdote ― both on a '60s Today Show segment and in print ― that the movie's producer Lester Cowan asked three aspiring actresses to walk seductively past Marx. Whomever Marx decided was the best walker would play opposite him in the film. When the third girl walked past, Marx asked the producer, “How could you possibly choose anyone but that last one?”. Marx had chosen Marilyn Monroe for the film.
Ah me the way we were! Thanks @LBFlyawayhome

Actually this article was often anthologies and isn not in my own anthology! Instead there is a shorter @NewStatesman article I did about the period! So if you like this sort of thing, here’s a chance to read one of the stories I remember best

I remember how exciting it was making this! We stayed late in the night in the office with our coworkers gum! This is not in my new journo anthology Rebel Musix, Scribe On A Vibe but it was a beautiful moment

Super fond of John Martyn and his LP Solid Air is an all time fave - but you won’t find this article in my new anthology Rebel Musix, Scribe On A Vibe, so enjoy it here and listen to Solid Air. But there are scads of other lovely reads in the book, so don’t be put off!
You can see this article again anthologised in Rebel Musix, Scribe On A Vibe @WhiteRabbitBks Ornette Forever. Live Harmolodically. We feel all too human right now
