Did You Know?
Marvel Comics had a group of their super heroes recording songs in the mid-60's. The band started in 1965 and 1967 saw their biggest hit single reaching #6 on the R&B charts. They had another top 20 hit in 1968. They disbanded in 1970 as super heroics began losing popularity and the horror and barbarian trends dominated. But they did reunite in time for the disco craze with moderate success.
I'll post some of their songs this weekend

Jerry Jeff Walker started in a jazz/rock group during the late 60's called Circus Maximus. This song got lots of FM airplay and is still a beautiful tune
It's from the 1st of 2 albums from the group and was released in..........1967

I took a one week break from travelling to the Lincoln Center library due to the predicted snowstorm which wound up not quite what the advance trailers had us believe. But I did pick up some other films from a library closer to me
Susan Slept Here (1954) Dick Powell, Debbie Reynolds, Anne Francis -Ageing Dick Powell in his final theatrical film in a rom-com with 17 year old Debbie Reynolds
Summer Of '42 (1971) Jennifer O'Neill, Gary Grimes- I remember seeing this in the theaters when it came out. Jennifer's husband has left to join the army. Gary Grimes is her 15 year old neighbor who is infatuated by her. Seems like a good double bill with Susan Slept Here
Something Wild (1961) Carroll Baker, Ralph Meeker - Carroll has been raped but keeps it hidden from her family. Ralph Meeker, a mechanic, tries to comfort her from depression and suicide attempt. Then he keeps her prisoner in his house
Solomon And Sheba (1959) Yul Brynner, Gina Lollobrigida- Big budget spectacle. You have already seen Moses part the Red Sea. Now see Solomon part a baby in half
Slender Thread (1965) Sidney Poitier, Anne Bancroft, Telly Salvalas, Ed Asner- Sidney is a volunteer at a suicide hot-line phone bank. Anne Bancroft calls to tell him she just took an overdose of pills. Can Sidney convince her to reveal her name and location before time runs out?

My cat's vomit splatter patterns on the carpet is an art form as much as video games There I said it I will agree that most video games are not art. But a small amount of them are, I think. I would say the same thing about movies or books. Although, I guess the definition of art is subjective, so I probably have different criteria from most people about what qualifies as art. And your example of video game art is?

Sad to see the news about James Cotton. I've seen him a few times in concert-not as a headliner but in support with another artist. Have a few of his CDs as well. At least he had a full life and left us lots to remember him
