We remember Adam West (1928-2017)

We just heard that Adam West passed away.   He was 88.     We will always remember him as millionaire Bruce Wayne of Gotham City who became crime fighter Batman by going down the pole to the Bat Cave.

As a baby boomer, I grew up watching "Batman" on TV.   It was actually a fun show.  I enjoyed it a lot.

We remember Mama Cass (1941-1974)

Ellen Naomi Cohen was born in Baltimore, Maryland on this day in 1941.   We remember her as Mama Cass of the Mamas & Papas.    

How about this little fact?  She and Jim Morrison attended George Washington High School in Virginia.   Wonder if they knew each other?

In the 1960’s, Cass joined John Phillips, Denny Doherty, and Michelle Phillips and became The Mamas & Papas.   In 1968, Cass went solo and had some hits until her death in 1974.
