Great topic! Yes, by all means keep the trivia and anecdotes coming. Here's a little known fact. In "Speedy" Harold Lloyd's last silent film there is a segment filmed on location at Coney Island. Harold's new suit keeps getting soiled. As he walks past a fun house mirror, Harold flips the bird at his distorted reflection.

Bradford, who killed himself to prove there was an afterlife, was the most interesting to me. I also had no idea Coolidge kept so many pets. And Bessie Smith running after some 'hoods' and scaring them off was also amusing. Believe it or not, I knew about the dead man who won the horse race. Poor guy. He was so dedicated.

I'm the one in my family who has a head full of useless but interesting facts rolling around upstairs. My family frequently asks me, "How do you know that?!?" so I completely understand your fascination with trivia. This video gives me more interesting information. I love the birds named Nip and Tuck 🤣 You often pique my interest enough for me to continue to delve further into subjects you cover for more information. You do a marvelous job. Keep up the great work! 👍

The predecessor of the Grand Old Opry was the WLS National Barn dance from Chicago . George Haye was the organizer of both shows. He was at WLS for a few years and he then moved to Nashville and started the Grand Old Opry.

Aloha and great channel. I would like to know about inventions, maybe crazy inventions. Interesting that cigarettes were used to promote all sorts of ways of being that have shaped our society and now 100 years later we know how harmful they are. We live in epicurean and stoic times and the push pull of both distorts our existence because of those who seeming know better and have money. Maybe its because we are told what to like and do.

The prohibition against women smoking in public -- or at least a good try at that -- was still strong in the mid-1960s. We got a booklet of standards to follow when we pledged to join a sorority. It said that "ladies are never seen smoking outdoors." And we had lessons in the ladylike way to let a man light your cigarette. You looked down at the cigarette, never up at the man because that made you look like a goldfish. It had another rule that was straight out of prohibition: If you were drinking or anywhere alcohol was served you had to take your pin off. Just in case it was raided.

In flapper dresses and jazz's embrace, A decade alive, a vibrant space. Prohibition's dance in speakeasy halls, A roaring twenties' tale, the era recalls.

Hi, I think you got your facts a bit mixed up. Miriam 'Ma' Furguson was in fact Texas' first female governor. After her departure in 1935, Texas did not have another female governor until Ann Richards in 1991. The governor of Texas in 1967 was John B. Connally, who was with JFK in Dealey Plaza.
