The Honest Courtesan

Workers reported smelling a foul odor but thought it was an issue with the plumbing.

James Earl Jones gave so many amazing, iconic performances I decided to mark his passing in the same way I did that of Paul Reubens: by featuring an obscure performance you may be unfamiliar with. This was the very first celebrity guest spot on Sesame Street back in 1969, and proves that Jones could make any recitation entertaining.  The death was called to my attention by Franklin Harris, and all the other links are from IncarcerNation.

I find paywalls distasteful, and so many people find this blog valuable as a resource I just can’t bring myself to install one.  Furthermore, I find ad delivery services (whose content I have no say over) even more distasteful.  But as I’m now semi-retired from sex work, I can’t self-sponsor this blog by myself any longer.  So if you value my writing enough that you would pay to see it if it were paywalled, please consider subscribing; there are four different levels to fit all budgets.  Or if that doesn’t work for you, please consider showing your generosity with a one-time donation; you can Paypal to maggiemcneill@earthlink.net or else email me at the same address to make other arrangements.  Thanks so much!
