Remembering Chris Cornell on what would have been his birthday today. Cornell joined the ranks of artists who have performed Bond theme songs with You Know My Name, the theme for CASINO ROYALE. It was the first time a male vocalist had sung a Bond title song since THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS.

@TheSpyCommand I used to love Skelton’s show as a kid. Tuesday nights on CBS, I think. Gentle, often very funny sketch comedy, the likes of which we’ll probably not see again.

@bones_mckinney @DrPopCultureUSA Edd Brynes was in the pilot as a hitman. But he tested well with test audiences. So he became Kooky, the parking lot attendant. At one point, Kooky was promoted to a detective at the agency.
