What the F sort of a thread is this? Jesus (pardon the pun) get back to trading and stock talk. Has it become this boring?

... and a great Humanitarian and Libertarian
He not only broke barriers on the visual front, but was also the first to show colored skin at a time when both were repressed in puritanical America. He also gave "Intellectual" writers a space for discussions, and broke ground for dignity of all people, irrespective of gender, color, belief, or ability.

Ah yes, we bought Playboy for the articles and its intellectual discussions :D

It is quite tame compare to some of the other publications other people told me about.

Playboy was actually used in a serious academic study on the changing image of female attractiveness over time. I think the researchers measure various aspect of each issue's Miss CentreFold [Month]... their weight, curves, skin tone etc.

Actually a playboy, who also played for both teams.. He certainly started the Sexual revolution in terms of legitimising pre marital sex at a time when society saw sex as solely part of a marriage contract.

And Playboy did have great stories! You could buy it for the articles (as well as the centerfold..)

I saw a doco on Hugh some time back. One of the points that blew me was the showing of a huge ongoing Hugh Hefner library. Every day stuff he had written said was involved in. His parties girlfriends, business dealings everything was carefully annotated and filed.

It will be interesting to see what comes out

I think that is a misnomer. He was well known as saying he was for people's choice and actualisation of sexual pursuasions.

He had many interviews declaring his support for whatever takes a person's fancy, he was afterall a business man who needed wider audience as his market share lost out to he internet, he hung around entertainers and actors who aren't exactly the yardstick of heterosexuality, he made a name of shocking the sensibilities of morality and if you are going to be a pornographer of the heteros it pays to be seen as a balanced advocate to avoid confrontation; it's a no brainer he would choose a broad church, but not necessarily live their lifestyles.

I'm not aware of him ever confessing to homosexual tendencies, but fairly sure the rainbow brigade will paint it that way with impunity ... they have form in that respect and they will be able to get some men, some trannies, some giraffes etc to pop up and declare relationships.

Surely I'm not the only one who hears "Well golllllll-y, Sergeant Carter" when I see his photo.
 
It's amazing how many musicians, from the Woodstock era, have died this year.

Just reminds you of your own mortality.

Time to give the kids handouts. LOL
 
Many times I have had

Well the lovely Flo has passed, what a absolute gem, never failed to be smiling and offering scones.
Sad part of life.

She always epitomized, to me, an era of charm and the old saying "if you don't have anything pleasant to say, say nothing".
The wonderful thing about that is, she never did and as a result, never has had anything unpleasant said about her.
Wonderful Lady, deserves a lot of credit, carried herself with dignity through some rough times.

She was certainly much better liked and respected than her other half.
 
Beautiful Alembic Bass Greg Lake is playing too!!

Another "local" muso in Thin Arthur (Rory O'Donoghue) also passed away earlier this week ..... I was fortunate enough to work for Rory's Mum in Sydney many years ago and my best friend worked for Rory personally ...... very talented muso who probably never received the acclaim he was warranted ..... sadly took his own life in the end, but I suspect he was struggling with ill health and had simply come to the end of his tolerance. RIP Rory. (Pictured with long time friend Grahame Bond ... aka Aunty Jack)

I read about his death and was wondering, because he was a very active person, so it is very sad to hear about his personal grief. RIP

Like Matt Damon said, it is a shame we hear all about the bad people, but nothing about the good people.
But he is copping a thrashing for saying that, so maybe best to say nothing.

Otherwise they will come and rip your bloody arms off
