50 years ago this week, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" debuted in theaters, and bombed. It wasn't until the next spring that somebody got the idea to do midnight showings, and you know the story from there. Or do you?

On Friday the 12th, Ann and I saw Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band at the Miller High Life Theater in Milwaukee. The All-Starrs included Steve Lukather of Toto, Hamish Stuart of AWB, and Colin Hay of Men at Work, along with instrumentalist Warren Ham and drummer Gregg Bissonette. Which meant we heard "Rosanna" and "Hold the Line," "Pick Up the Pieces," "Down Under" and "Who Can It Be Now," among others.

When the All-Starrs were singing, Ringo moved over to his drum kit. He's is 85 but you'd never know it. He sounds great, he looks great, and hearing him sing "Yellow Submarine" and "With a Little Help From My Friends" were absolute bucket-list moments.

Here's a 50-year time warp that's full of bangers. If you don't like any one of the top 6, we have to break up. "Get Down Tonight" absolutely smokes, and "Fight the Power" is still as relevant today as it was then. I somehow never played "Run Joey Run" on the show despite the fact that it is gourmet 70s cheese. (Limburger.)

I found out that Loni Anderson had died on Monday when a friend sent me this picture with the caption "Protect Bailey Quarters at all costs."

I wrote about Loni and some of the other people we've lost recently, including Ozzy Osbourne, Tom Lehrer, and others. Read it here: https://thjkoc.net/2025/08/08/fascinations/
