58 years ago today, The Great Pumpkin premiered on CBS.

The film had the working title of Big Pumpkin Charlie Brown.

Kids felt so bad for Charlie, that they sent their own candy to Charles Schulz to give to Charlie Brown.

What do Jackie Robinson and Carly Simon have in common?

In 1952, the Robinsons needed a bigger home after the birth of their 3rd child.

The family were denied homes in NY that were "mysteriously" pulled off the market. They had trouble viewing any new properties. (1/3) A reporter asked Rachel Robinson about racial housing practices in the tri state area, and Carly's father Richard, read the article. Along with his wife, they decided to help them find a plot of land.

The Robinson's purchased a plot in Stamford, CT.

Happy Batman Day to all those who celebrate.

They do this for all 9,386 soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. Please feel free to include memories of your loved ones in this thread.

The grave you see is that of MAJ William Andrew Richards. He was a member of the 112th Engineer Combat Battalion.

His unit was in action against Nazi forces on Omaha Beach killed in the early hours.

If you know who this family is, we are friends. And my god was this epic false advertising to a child.

Today marks 108 years since the #ArmenianGenocide . Over 1.5 million killed, including my relatives.

I am celebrating my 3rd birthday with my grandparents who fled, which is something they never did for themselves because all their records were destroyed. You had limited options, go to Russia where Stalin "offered jobs" or to places like Aleppo, Syria.

Thankfully they chose Aleppo.

When my grandfather fled with his family, they were halfway there, but they realized they forgot his new born baby brother in his crib.

Sometimes I pinch myself when I look back at the people I worked with who I admired as a kid.

I repped David Crosby on different occasions. He was his own man. He could be cantankerous, he could be a pussycat. That was Cros.

About as real as you could get.

Long Time Gone 1969 He told me he wrote Long Time Gone the night Robert Kennedy was assassinated.

It’s probably my favorite song of his next to Wooden Ships.

Today would have been the fearless Andy Kaufman’s 74th birthday.

One of my favorite Taxi episodes is when he became sick of being Latka and became Vic Ferrari.
