Who Is Bob Dylan?

I came across a few of these Bob Dylan t-shirts the other day while sourcing products for the store. It was a great score as they are new with the tags, button pins, and I got sizes Large and X-Large.



It occurred to me when I was taking pictures of them that I really didn't know that much about Bob Dylan. My first exposure to him was when I was in high school and he sang a line in the Michael Jackson's "We Are The World." As teenagers do, we spent the next several weeks doing our best Dylan impressions.

 

I really don't listen to his music and can't say that I am a fan. My only other exposure to this singer has been through the many impressions by comedians.  Here's one I like by Jimmy Fallon.

  

 

I decided to look him up...Here are some things I learned about the controversial singer.

 

1.   He was born Bobby Zimmerman on May 24, 1941.

2.   In the early years of his career, he played harmonica for a Harry Belafonte recording.

3.   Many of his lyrics became anthems for civil rights and anti-war movements.

4.   Dylan flunked out of the University of Minnesota.

5.   He has been actively performing since 1959.

6.   Bob Dylan appeared in the first episode of The Johnny Cash Show.

7.   His first wife, Sara Lownds, was a Playboy bunny.

8.   Dylan toured with the Grateful Dead in 1987.

9.   He is an accomplished painter.

10. He is the winner of ten Grammy Awards.

 

So now you and I know a little more about Dylan.

 

Does You Accessorize Your Office?

When I was working full time in an office, looking at the same four walls everyday was so boring. To overcome the boredom, I started decorating my office to match the season or holiday. I had the typical decorations...Valentines brought out the heart shaped candy dish with lots of chocolate, Easter meant bunnies and eggs, and out rolled the pumpkins for Autumn and Halloween.

I amassed a great collection of solar powered toys from The Dollar Store. These were the most entertaining with their little heads bobbing and hips swaying. They all lined the windowsill behind my desk and I would watch them dance as I waited on the line for customers to come to the phone. After Thanksgiving I would bring out my snowman and elves to start the Christmas season.

Among my holiday tackle was an assortment of coffee mugs.  A happy reminder every morning of the pending festivities. Here are some great mugs currently listed at Slater's Closet. With only 50 days until Christmas you need to get ready to accessorize!

 



How Well Do You Know Marvin The Martian?

When I was a small child, each weekday was filled with anticipation for Saturday morning cartoons. Unlike today, we didn't have Cartoon Network allowing us to watch cartoons any hour of the day.

Our favorite cartoons by far were Looney Tunes...Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, and the rest of the gang. If we were lucky, we would be treated to the rare appearance of Marvin The Martian. This funny but dangerous villain created a good challenge for Bugs Bunny, who easily defeated his other opponents - Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, and the Tasmanian Devil.

The best part about Marvin was the way he talked...Sounding much like he had a frog in his throat, his highfalutin dialog was nothing like any other character on Saturday morning. My girlfriend and I loved to imitate his famous quotes. Listen below...



   

So, how well do you know Marvin The Martian? See how well you score on our quiz.

John Lennon's Give Peace A Chance

This week I came across this John Lennon Give Peace A Chance t-shirt while searching for inventory for the store. I saw it from across the room and practically ran to get it in my hands. I love this shirt!

This silhouette is such a recognizable symbol for world peace. It got me thinking about what John Lennon would think about today's headlines...ISIS, terrorism, school shootings, North Korea's desire for nuclear weapons, etc.  He wasn't an artist without fault but seemed to care more about the state of the world than his image and that made him iconic.

On December 8, 1980, John Lennon was assassinated in New York City by Mark David Chapman. Like others that were taken too early, you can't help but wonder about what kind of music and art he would be producing today. I was only eleven years when he was killed so I didn't have the understanding then that I do today of his words. As the anniversary of his death approaches, take a moment to read the lyrics to his songs Give Peace A Chance, Imagine, Beautiful Boy, and Working Class Hero. The man had an agenda...His music and words made you think and feel.

I ask you, how can you not want to be kind to your fellow man after listening to these songs?

37th Anniversary of Elvis Presley's Death

Last month, on August 16th, millions remembered the death of Elvis Presley thirty-seven years ago. It was one of those events that most people can tell you exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. My neighbor and best friend came over and told us the news. She said her mother was crying...I was eight years old and although I knew who Elvis was, I didn't realize the impact of his death until many years later.

I, like many, watched several television specials last month admiring Elvis' talent and thought what a huge lost to the entertainment community. I wonder what he would be singing today if he was still alive?

I was so excited this month when I found this licensed Elvis handbag during one of my outings. On the front, a young Elvis is sitting on his Harley Panhead motorcycle (Elvis loved motorcycles) reminiscent of Marlon Brando in "The Wild One."  Several rhinestones adorn the front of the purse and a touch of color is added to this black and white purse with Elvis' signature in red.

Often when I'm sourcing items for the store, I find things that I want to keep instead of selling. I had to argue with myself to sell this...You guys are lucky that it made it in the store :)
