Midday Music Day 55. More Than a Feeling by Boston.

Abraham Lincoln Autopsy’s Handwritten Notes
Although the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln took place more than 150 years ago it still captures the imagination of most Americans.
The Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, NY just opened a new installation, “Autopsy for a Nation: The Death of Abraham Lincoln,” marking the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s assassination. The exhibit’s key items include handwritten notes by the physicians who conducted the President’s autopsy.

Sebastian Alvarez – Wingsuit Precision Flight!
From the video description:
Wingsuit pilot, Sebastian Alvarez, proving his precision flight skills in his squirrel suit, blasting through the Chilean flag placed on top of an extinct volcano, cerro manquehue, in his home country, Santiago de Chile.
What amazes me is the real-time speed Alvarez is traveling when he busts through the flag!
The 20 Scariest Movies of All-Time
The Entertainment Weekly staff came up with their list of the 20 Scariest Movies of All-Time.
The EW list is a pretty good one and using just their choices I came up with my top three:
- The Exorcist: Not only scary while you’re watching it, but even more frightening when you think about it later.
- 28 Days Later: Fast moving zombies (and let’s not argue the point that they aren’t zombies) and humans that are equally as dangerous.
- John Carpenter’s The Thing: Isolated in an environment that can kill and unable to tell friend from monster.

Ten Marvel Characters ready for Reinvention on TV

For what it’s worth, here’s my top five ranking of their choices:
- Shang Chi
- Blade
- Punisher
- Moon Knight
- Deathlok
If it was up to me though, I’d push for a Nick Fury: Agent of Shield show set in the 1960’s based on Steranko’s Nick Fury.

Tie a Yellow Ribbon by Tony Orlando and Dawn
Midday Music Day 51. Tie a Yellow Ribbon by Tony Orlando and Dawn.
This was a popular song with young and old alike. I enjoy the song, but it brings back special memories because of how much my grandmother liked it. In fact she loved Tony Orlando and Dawn. She watched their tv show and even bought their album!
