On this date in 1978, Alice Cooper appeared on "The Muppet Show," bringing his theatrical rock persona to the world of Kermit and friends.
BITE-SIZED FACT | Cooper played a salesman trying to tempt the Muppets into making a deal with the devil, giving the episode a wonderfully spooky atmosphere. #70s
With old school baseball having made a comeback ...
... let's bring back pitchers hitting in the National League!!!

These were so much fun...until they got covered in dirt, dust, hair and whatever else would stick to them.

Debbie Harry leaning on the hood of a white Ford Thunderbird under a street lamp at night, in a cropped white top and loose white trousers. Photo by Chris Stein.
Stein was much more than the man behind the camera. He co-founded Blondie with Debbie, played guitar in the band, co-wrote many of its songs, and was her partner for more than ten years starting in 1973. Even after they split as a couple they stayed close friends and kept working together.
All the while he was taking pictures. He photographed Debbie constantly, along with the artists, musicians and writers around them in downtown New York, from CBGB regulars to Andy Warhol. In 2014 he collected those photos in his book Negative: Me, Blondie, and the Advent of Punk, and this one of Debbie and the Thunderbird is among them.
Few bands had a photographer that close to the action, because he was in the band.
🎸 Debbie and Chris wrote Heart of Glass together. Did you ever see Blondie live? 🎸

The Charlotte Hornets on Feb. 11 are retiring the No. 1 jersey of Muggsy Bogues, the shortest player in NBA history at 5-foot-3. Bogues spent 10 of his 14 NBA seasons in Charlotte (1988-1998) and is the franchise leader in assists, steals and minutes.

He basically said he didn't want a woman with any real life experience. That's creepy AF to me.
My first thought when I read Fleet was of the medical product, and now I wish I could un-think that.
