"Brief encounter" is intense but very nice
It is the story of a married woman who meets a doctor at a train station. It's a chance meeting and they begin to see each other. She is Celia Johnson and he is Trevor Howard.
I had no idea that the movie is considered a romantic classic.
Also, the movie's soundtrack is fabulous, or Rachmaninoff's second piano concerto exquisitely dropped in at different moments of the story.
Very nice movie. What happened to the married woman and the doctor? Watch the movie and find out!

1978: Rose reached # 38 on the way to 44!
Pete Rose’s streak made it 38 games on this day in 1978. He got 3 hits off Craig Swan of the Mets.
The streak started on June 14 and turned into the second longest in major league history. The streak was a huge national story with hundreds of reporters following Pete & the Reds from game to game.
1978 also turned out to be his last year with the Reds: .302 average, 198 hits and 51 doubles. He signed a huge free agent contract with the Phillies and led them to a World Series victory in 1980. He also won two titles with the Reds in 1975 & 1976.
Last, but not least, Pete got his 3000th hit that year, too. The pitcher was Steve Rogers of the Expos.

July 1965: Dylan from acoustic to electric guitar
On this day in 1965, Dylan put down the acoustic and played an electric guitar at the Newport Folk Festival.
Maybe we can say that Dylan moved rock and folk music closer together by going electric.

“Like a rolling stone” and “Queen Jane approximately“, from the LP “Highway 61 Revisited“, were early examples of Dylan going electric.
At about the same time, The Byrds released their electric version of “Mr. Tambourine Man“. The group's LP also included “All I really want to do“, another Dylan song.
