Good morning world
That's Robert Stack belting back a bottle of bourbon driving past his oil wells in an Allard J2, in 'Written on the Wind" (1956). For my money, 10x the Texas soap opera potboiler of "Giant"
Also features untamed vixen Dorothy Malone in a Woofill Wildfire, hubba hubba hubba

Come for the hot rods and dysfunctional sex-crazed alcoholic Texas oil billionaires, stay for the Cha-Cha-Cha
Robert Stack, BTW, was a real-life hot rod pioneer and fixture in lakes racing, back to 1938. Here he is at Muroc with his '31 A roadster, looks to be running a Winfield head and Joe Hunt magneto
Whenever I'm at a swingin' party and some dame busts out her cha-cha moves, I lean back in my Saarinen Womb Chair and I'm like yeah YEAH go baby GO
Also, I'm wearing sunglasses, nonchalantly dangling a highball in my hand while puffing a Lucky Strike, waiting for my cue to join in on the bongos
That's the problem with this Twitter scene, none of you cats know how to really swing. Like, Squaresville man
I will never do a podcast, but I'd be willing to pitch Dave After Dark
