I watched "Concorde A Supersonic Story (BBC 2017). Iconic Airplanes In History" Joan Collins was interviewed for this... along with several flight attendants, pilots, people who worked on building it and even passengers... They only had one profitable route, New York to London... so they started chartering the plane out....There were people who profited from selling day excursions to exotic places. When the Concorde crashed in 2000, it was a chartered flight headed for a cruise.

The last flight was in 2003. One of the flight attendants said it was like aviation took a step backwards.... It's interesting how there really is not much interest in super sonic travel... It was mentioned that a lot of investment bankers and hedge fund managers used the Concorde to commute. Could you imagine?

I've been watching a documentary about John Belushi... It's very interesting. The doctor interviewed pretty much gave a gloomy picture of Addiction - that you're always going to relapse... He'd do well at times, but according to his wife at the time, something would trigger him and he would start using again. It's an interesting story but very depressing.

I watched a documentary about Kurt Cobain last night. I had to buy it off of Amazon Prime. Originally I thought I could watch it from Hulu but it required that you also have an HBO Max subscription... I had already subscribed to Hulu when I realized you had to have the HBO Max subscription in conjunction... I first added it to my watch list in memento on Feb 20, 2020... so a few years ago.

I was thinking about the documentary on eminem.. the rapper.. that I watched the other day... it came out in 2004. They interviewed his mother and grandmother.. they did not seem like very nice people.

During the beginning of the documentary, his grandmother discussed how she told her mother that she was going to hell for the way that she treated her growing up... her mother, the way I took it, wanted validation that she was a good mother as she laid on her deathbed.. Eminem's grandmother would not give it to her. that really really bothered me. she just seemed so cold.

closer to the end, the interviewer said that she looks like Aubrey hepburn.. She replied "I don't want to look like Aubrey Hepburn. People have said I looked like Reba Mcantire..."

His mother seemed very cold and distant as well... It really made me appreciate my family. I never felt unloved by anyone in my family..

When this was filmed in 2004, His mom was almost my age... She was born in 1955 and was 49 years old.. I looked to see if his grandmother was still alive but couldn't find anything.

I just got the watching "Biggie: The Life of Notorious B.I.G. | Full Episode | A&E" on YouTube. I was on a roller coaster of emotions while watching it. There were a lot of details I wasn't aware of... and I had no idea what a positive and loving attitude he had about life.

I believe this came out in 2017 on the A&E Network. I read an article about where he grew up in Brooklyn... That his childhood home in Brooklyn was selling for $725k... But the listing made no mention that it was once home to a famous rapper. The journalist contacted the agent and she basically snubbed him... This was back in 2013....Another person that was asked about him said that noone knows him anymore and that he's not important.. I just find that very hard to believe.

I'm guessing Brooklyn has gentrified a lot, which really bothers me... People being pushed out of their homes... It just really does..

Anyway, I really enjoyed watching this.

I just got through watching "JANIS JOPLIN LITTLE GIRL BLUE PBS DOCUMENTARY". I think I've seen parts of it before or started it and half watched it. It's strange to watch these Documentaries sometimes. It's almost like you really know them and they are still around. There was someone who read the letters she sent to her family... It sounded just like her... What a neat person. At the end they had Pink say something about her.. It came out in 2016 on PBS.. it's a series called "American Masters"

I didn't realize that "Modern Marvels' has twenty seasons and over 160 episodes. You have to have a cable subscription to watch most of them... But there are a lot of them online... Even on the history channels YouTube page.. I saw where you can buy seasons 18-21 on YouTube as well..

The History Channel also has several good playlists... I've been adding them.

I just got through watching "Lucy and Desi" It was a documentary about the couple and the media empire they started together. I had no idea how dignity they really were in Hollywood. If course, I've heard of "The Lucy Ball Show" but I just always thought of it as just an old show from the 50's.... and never gave it much thought.

I also didn't realize that Lucy and Desi were divoy after being married 20 years and had their own studio.... Where several shows were filmed.. Their daughter said they were married to their second spouses longer than they were married to each other. They had two children, who gave interviews.

They played tapes that Lucy had recorded a journal of sorts on.... I thought that was pretty neat.

Lucille Ball was born in 1911 and died in 1989. Desi was born in 1917 and died in 1986.

What a story!

I just got through watching "Wonderland, 1997, Documentary about Levittown NY" It was about a community that was built in the 1950s after WW II in response to the housing shortage after the war. It was very interesting but sad to think most of the people in this documentary are no longer here, at least physically. Many of them were my grandparents' age or older. I would love to know how it all turned out after this documentary in 1997?

I'm watching "I'm Scared Of Spending the Rest of My Life Alone | Age of Loneliness | Only Human on YouTube"  They are talking to a 100 year old woman who says she is lonely and that she's afraid of dying alone. The interviewer asked how she could be feel alone since she has so many children and grandchildren. They are interviewing people who have lost their partners as well. They interviewed all ages.

one young woman 39 years old said that she has tried internet dating but it was just another platform to get rejected on. She said that it's exhausting to stay on there and she thinks its better just not to be on there.

One man said he dreads every night going to bed alone.

One guy who was 42 says he starts his day about 4pm, plays video games and goes to bed about 330am. He lived in a small apartment by himself. He said he would love if someone would knock on his door to visit.

The end of the program was very sad. A widow whose husband had died and had no children died 5 weeks after they interviewed her. She died alone in her home.

I swear, I just don't know about life. I hate to see people suffering in this world, I really do. I have to limit my intake of this. But it helps me to realize how short and fleeting life really is.

I can't let this happen to Mom. I worry about her being alone or feeling alone. I get mad at her and say mean things and I always regret it. I want to see Henry but I also hate leaving mom.
