kfvd radio station
from woody guthrie posted in music by crabapple
Woody Guthrie arrived in Los Angeles in 1937 and encountered the same scorn and hatred that other "Okies" received from Californians.
Guthrie found a home at the KFVD radio station singing "old-timey" tunes as well as his own originals.
Together with his singing partner "Lefty Lou" (Maxine Crissman), Guthrie attracted attention to the plight of the Okies, as well as provided songs and stories that reminded them of home.
Guthrie also honed his skill as a political commentator, railing against corruption, injustice, and other violations of human rights. The radio show would last until 1940, when differences between station owner Frank Burke and Guthrie ended the relationship.

from once upon a time in the west posted in movies by crabapple
Straddling the border between Arizona and Utah, Monument Valley's picturesque rock formations and stark landscapes were the backdrops for many of the scenes in the classic Spaghetti Western film by Sergio Leone, Once Upon a Time in the West (1968).
The film stars Charles Bronson as "Harmonica", who Leone referred to as "the greatest actor I ever worked with." Once Upon a Time... features a soundtrack by the legendary composer Ennio Morricone, which later inspired Dangermouse's Rome album.
Monument Valley has been a featured location in a slew of films, tv shows, music, books, comics, and video games. A popular lookout point is named after John Ford since he filmed nine films here (John Ford's Point).
For Once Upon a Time..., locations were split between Monument Valley and Spain. The scene with the man hanging from the arch was shot here in Monument Valley. The arch was constructed for the film, and the base remnants remain. Take nothing but pictures...
