This should be national #USpol news: In the middle of what #Trump calls ‘the #GoldenAge of America’, the #NashvilleSymphony has suspended #music in #MusicCityUSA. https://www.nashvillescene.com/music/nashvillecream/nashville-symphony-suspend-2026-2027-season-financial-crisis/article_5f35ae09-bbad-4686-a940-601fc5c4f46f.html
The financial crisis was the result of over-reliance on the generosity of a single #billionaire. Will any lessons be learned?

A quotation from Richard Steele
The prevailing humour of crying up authors that have writ in the days of our forefathers, and of passing slightly over the merit of our contemporaries, is a grievance that men of a free and unprejudiced thought have complained of through all ages in their writings.
Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician
Essay (1713-04-09), The Guardian, No. 25More about this quote: wist.info/steele-richard/85367…

Murder in the Reading Room by Anita Davison
After reading a few early reviews, I discovered that this book is the last of this series. I have only read the last two, so I do have more to catch up on.
In this one, Hannah and her new husband have moved into the Brunswick Hotel that Aunt Violet and Aiden own while renovating their own home. Darius and Hannah are newlyweds. Aunt Violet is fighting for the right for women to vote while Aiden is retired from the police department. They all live a life of luxury that is appealing. Matilda is a friend of Hannah’s who is also a journalist for a local paper.
This series is set in London after the war.
A friend of Aiden’s is found dead in the reading room of a local museum and Hannah and Matilda happen to be there when the body is found. Of course, they investigate.
Now that Aiden is retired from the police force, he is more willing to work with Hannah and Violet.
Besides the death, an art piece that may be priceless disappears.
The three women find themselves in dangerous situations as they follow the clues. They are introduced to the family who own the art object. One member of the family believes the stories told by her grandfather that it belonged to a famous Italian family over 500 years ago. The rest of the family think it is a reproduction.
The victim had contacted an authority to evaluate the object before his death. The person contacted shows up after the murder and he becomes involved in the investigation as well.
There are several suspects for the sleuths to interview, and it becomes difficult to figure out who to believe.
As they are investigating the crime, we get to know Hannah, Matilda and Violet better.
This is an interesting series. I enjoy the author’s voice and find myself often pulled into the scene feeling as though I was more than a reader.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a cozy historical mystery set in England. The characters are interesting and likeable. I do feel sad that this will be the last in the series. I would like to know more about the future. Since I had read the previous book in this series, I was already a fan.
This new release was published on June 29, 2026.

Our weather has been extremely off so far this year, and it continues into the summer. We are in the middle of a heat wave, but storms came through last night leaving over ten inches in a city near me. Luckily my favorite past time is reading.

Debbie Does Dallas (1978) Review
There it is… There it is… Aaaaand, we’re done.This movie has a sort of “lore” associated with it, which is not uncommon for porno films, especially ones from this era, but this one is particularly notorious for it. Aside from the fact that it arose during the peak of the ‘Golden Age of Porn’ in the late 70’s, where girls were hairy, dudes were not all packing 9 inch dicks, and plot (however vacuous it was) was actually important to the film, it also featured a porn actress who seemingly had a lot of talent (IE, she had a great pair of tits and a nice ass) who only did a handful of films before tragically dying from a drug overdose. Of those handful of films, they were not one, but two sequels to said porno, “Debbie Does Dallas”. The real truth is that she vanished from the industry, and reportedly she was tracked down by a private detective hired by Jim Clark (The director), where it turns out she was simply living her life out in the midwest and did not want to be disturbed nor return to “film-making”. How quaint.
There is also the rumor that this film was shot guerilla style on a real University campus, having sex and filming nude scenes in the public between classes. The reality is that the producers alerted the alumni that they were filming. What they said they were filming, I cannot determine, but I can pretty safely say they most likely did not say they were filming an pornographic film about students fucking their professors.
Anyway, this is one of the big hitters from that era, having sold tens of thousands of copies and being one of the biggest successes, if not the biggest, the year it came out, in terms of X-Rated cinema. The old urban myth of the sudden rise and success of VHS players was claimed to have been in part to the fact that people were buying them to watch this at home, although this little myth has some truth to it, though it is more-so the fact that adult cinema itself was the reason for a lot of VHS player sales, not just this movie.
Now what kind of golden nugget are we talking about here? A group of 16 year old girls (All actresses were in their early 20’s while filming this) want to help their friend, Debbie, travel to Dallas to tryout to become a professional cheerleader, since her parents will not help her pay for her travel expenses and hotel stay.
I hope you like locker room scenes, because that’s where we’re going to spend a good portion of the film.So what is a hot young girl in a town full of pervy old men supposed to do to earn an honest buck?
Well, the girls go on the wonderful journey of picking up odd-jobs all around the town to earn enough money to help their dear sweet friend Debbie achieve her dream! Unfortunately as they all find out, working sucks and they barely earn enough money to pay for Debbie, let alone themselves to go with her for moral support, so naturally they turn to the one thing that a girl can do to make money fast; prostitution. Yes, these 16 year old high school girls are going to let men leer, grope, and fuck them, to reach the lofty heights of helping their friend (Not even themselves achieving it) the opportunity to tryout to become a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. I do not think their Business Ethics professors intended for this approach when they told them, “Really sell yourself”. Oh, wait, sorry, I am being informed by my Legal & Compliance Team that they are, in fact, not the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. They are the Dallas Cowgirls. Very important distinction.
So naturally, this opens the door to a slew of vignettes of each of the girls (Again, all actresses are legal age) fucking and sucking their way to paying for Debbie, and themselves, to go with her to Dallas. We get an assortment of scenes involving oral sex, vaginal sex, anal sex, some masturbatory scenes, groping scenes, and some casual nudity scenes, including plenty of upskirt shots.
The one thing this film does right, I will kindly say, is that it knows how to properly do framing and lighting. You can see what is happening, you know where it is happening, how it is happening, and when it is happening. You would be surprised how common of an issue these things are for pornos, or even just film in general. The upbeat soundtrack accompanying most of the film also lends a sort of light-hearted vibe to it, giving it that classic sex comedy tonal feel throughout, until the action really ramps up in specific scenes where it delves into this weird, alternative, metallic-sounding rock music that makes you feel a little uncomfortable.
Oh wait, here comes my favorite part!Unfortunately, that is all the nice things I have to say about it. The acting is awful. The girls look appropriate for high schoolers, but but their acting comes off as way too “innocent” and “youthful”, coming off almost like they are middle schoolers rather than juniors. Bambi Woods, the lead actress, is especially notorious for this, acting like a literal deer-in-headlights any time something sexual happens in the film, which at times is rather off-putting. And their blowjob skills are way too expertise to match the innocent virginity they are supposed to be portraying.
The men fill their roles adequately, although appear in it for the briefest of moments, with only a couple notable scenes featuring them in speaking roles which, they seem to have more charisma than the girls surprisingly. They mostly fill the roles of boys, football players, who are the boyfriends of the cheerleaders, and are being denied intimacy for whatever reason so the girls can focus on their “work”.
The cinematography is flat and boring. While that style works for most of the sex scenes, where we get blatant raw displays of sexual congress in the film, for the character and plot bits it makes everything add up to feeling like boring filler. Most of the film is just this wide-angled, flat, lingering take on the characters in the scenery, soaking up screen time, as we are carried from vignette to vignette. This makes all the scenes carrying you around from one erotic escapade to the other a chore to sit through, and a verifiable boner-killer.
Corporal punishment, in all of its glory.There is also the rather bold, or odd, inclusion of a fetishized spanking scene, which seems out of place. It occurs after one of the girls gets caught giving her boyfriend a blowjob in the library. Most of the scenes involve regular sex or oral, so this specific scene feels somewhat sudden, given the formal nature of the rest of the activities, but it is appreciated. If there was more fetishized content included rather than the girls just sucking and fucking, and doing more BDSM or hedonistic activities, it would fit with the theme, but I suppose the unpredictability of its inclusion heightens the eroticism, so you really cannot complain for seeing more young asses on the screen, especially when they are doing more than just getting plapped by another stray dick.
Which brings to mind the writing. My god, the writing. Innuendos that barely make sense, teases that are non-sequiturs, dirty talk that feels stunted and awkward, and a plot so paper thin, it is almost like it is not even there. Mr Greenfeld actually felt like one of the more believably written characters, with somewhat of a character arc as the store owner who hires Debbie, and is infatuated with her from the get-go, and is ironically the reason this whole movie starts. He wants to see her breasts, then grope them, then taste them, progressively paying more and more for each escalation, until she backs down and puts them away. She then goes on to give her friends a talk in the locker room about how she earned this money so fast. Later on, the film ends with Bambi dressed as a cheerleader, getting chased around by Mr Greenfeld in a football outfit, saying how he always wanted to play for the team and fuck the cheerleading captain, so this is him living out his fantasy in a way. Which, honestly, comes off as a little heart-warming. No, honestly.
Overall you have a hackneyed film that offers some rather well-shot and titillating hardcore sequences, with a nice bow-tied ending wrapping it all together. Not the worst porno I have ever seen, but definitely over-hyped and nothing particularly amazing nor breathtaking about it, unless you have a particular ‘thing’ for Bambi Woods, or any of her female co-stars. I will say, the stand-out sex scene with Bambi at the end, and the stellar blowjob scene in the library make it worth a watch at least once, aside from the historical significance of the film, but other than that, it’s not one that I would particularly find worth re-treading over and over again.
I’ll end this review with a highlight of the film, an excellently framed shot of Bambi Woods’ spectacular bush.
