Dock Ellis, one of baseball's greatest personalities - and a damn fine pitcher for a few years - wore hair curlers on the field during warmups in 1973. The league commissioner ordered him to stop (because ... ?). Ellis often called out racial prejudice in baseball and society. In this case he observed "They didn’t put any orders about [Yankees player] Joe Pepitone when he wore a hairpiece down to his shoulders.” American legend. 🫡 #baseball #1970s #blackhistory #hair #pittsburgh

#TIL there was Volkswagen vehicle in the 1970s called The Thing. I lived in suburban Detroit growing up and my dad worked in the auto industry, but it seems this car came out after I'd left home for college and then a move to California. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIJTvrs2NPk More info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWrkENGbkNs h/t @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org #cars #1970s

[Watch party / Full movie] 絕招 (The Chinese Mack, 1974), Saturday 4th July, 12pm US Eastern

Real-life Triad leader and Hong Kong action star Chan Wai-Man headlines The Chinese Mack, a fight-filled martial arts slug-fest from the golden year of 1974! In the scenic countryside, an expert kung fu student is taught the deadly art of the “death blows.” With his schooling finished, he heads to the big city to earn his fortune. But when he’s seduced by the sins of the flesh, he’ll have to battle his way out of the darkness. https://youtu.be/G8f2OADjAnk (1:41:29, 720p but scratchy, ENG audio, soft subs in many languages inc ENG) https://link.tubi.tv/r3iBnm7Mj4b (USA only) KungFuSat watch party Eggplant.place - #KungFuSat - NeoDB collection with info, film links, past films etc

Back in the #1970s I set up a #onemanband. #JesseFuller was my #inspiration and his Fotdilla. My equivalent were self generating bass #pedals. I upgraded over years. The ELKA SGP150 were the last set. They died around 2014. I bought #Studiologic MP-113 MIDI pedals as a replacement with a Midiplus MiniEngine sound generator, but the combination never worked well so the band's been in abeyance since then. I always claim the band broke up due to #musical #differences Last week I #discovered the #Behringer Pro VS Mini, a pocket sized #synthesiser. The one man band could be on the way to performing again.
