What Do You Got? The Wild One, The Loveless and the Biker Movie
On the fourth of July weekend in 1947, a group of bikers rode into a small California town and, depending on who you believe, either had a great party or went on an orgy of destruction. This single incident – now famous as the Hollister Invasion or the Hollister Riot – created both the abiding myth of the outlaw biker and the renegade bike gang, and inspired the movie that provided the template for every other biker movie to follow. The occasion was the first major bike rally held by the American Motorcycle Association in California since before World War Two, and while attendance was expected to be high, nobody anticipated what would really happen.

Graduating from HamasU
Greetings one and all and welcome to the Passover 2024 edition of Laura's Links. After many hours of toil, the Cohen household was Kosher for Passover on Sunday last week, just in time to cook up a storm for the Seder that we hosted.

Our latest Tale for Our Time charges on: The Secret Adversary, Agatha Christie's first Tommy & Tuppence caper, set against the turbulent politics of the world after the Great War. Thank you for all your kind comments about this latest serialisation. Leo, a Mark Steyn Club member and my fellow Ontarian, says: So glad to hear you back at it with the Tales. The other half is especially excited about your choice of Dame Agatha, since she is a huge fan. You know, the kind with all the books, the anthologies, the videos, etc. We even took in The Mousetrap when visiting London pre Armageddon (covid). This site not only provides great insights and entertainment but also some comfort knowing there are others who are sane and sensible, and sharing ...
