Photo: Jace Downs/AMCIn last week’s recap, I wrote the following: “Do you ever feel tense when watching The Walking Dead anymore? Does the TV show ever truly surprise you anymore? I’m pretty sure it’s been quite a while since TWD made me feel like a character was in real danger or did anything that made me wonder what was going to happen next.” I am pleased to report tonight’s episode surprised me, made me anxious, and left me wondering what’s coming next week.Now, given that next week’s episode of The Walking Dead is…

If I could visit a spot in L.A. that would transport me to a different decade, I’d have a hard time choosing from among those on Marsha Takeda-Morrison’s terrific list. But I think I’d go back to ... I don’t know ... Monday and visit Joe’s Service Center in Altadena, where I’d fill up my tank, buy an ice cream sandwich and maybe a lottery ticket. I’m Glenn Whipp, columnist for the Los Angeles Times, host of the Envelope’s Friday newsletter and the guy who’s having a hard time accepting the term “artistic swimming” when…

Image: HallmarkThese two ornaments are distinctly sexual, but kudos to Hallmark for being so forthright with their carnal pleasures. The first is the hall-of-famer “Let’s Get It On,” named after the Marvin Gaye sex anthem, confirming that this gingerbread man and glass of milk will unquestionably fuck in the very near future. Pity the poor squirrel, who sits alone, with no partner in sight. It appears that whatever gift he thought he had received doesn’t contain the pornography or sex toys he was hoping for. Still, he’s…

Before his death, the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia tried to get clean after years of freebasing cocaine and other drugs, so he gifted a marijuana pipe to a fellow musician who socked it away in his San Francisco home. About 31 years later, the handmade pipe has resurfaced in a Marin County antique shop, whose owner considers it a unique rock ‘n’ roll artifact.“My shop is fun and a lot of fun stuff walks in the door,” Steve Cabella, owner of the Modern i Shop in San Anselmo, told The Times. “But when this walked in the…

Jerry Falwell Jr once said there was nothing that then president Donald Trump could do that would endanger support from him or other Christian evangelical leaders. “When Jesus said we’re all sinners, he really meant all of us, everybody,” he told the Washington Post in January 2019.Falwell knew whereof he spoke. A year and a half later, he would resign in disgrace from Liberty University, the evangelical college his father founded in Lynchburg, Virginia, after a series of personal scandals that would have made even Trump…

When Myra Williams looks back on her life — her marriage to her second cousin, singer Jerry Lee Lewis, in 1957 when she was just 13 years old, their good and bad times together, the two children they had, the permanent damage that their relationship inflicted on Lewis’ career and legacy — she sometimes wonders if it were all a dream. “But it happened,” the now 78-year-old author and former realtor tells The Times by telephone from her home in Atlanta, one day after Lewis’ death. “It did. It all happened to me.”Everything…

Jerry Lee Lewis was waiting in the lobby of the William Morris Agency, New York, one day in 1958. The receptionist was very attractive and, as he loved to, he began to tell her of life on the road, of how he nearly pushed Paul Anka off the roof of a hotel, all kinds of wildness. After a while, he paused. “What if I told you that none of that was true?” he asked her.She looked crestfallen. “Please don’t tell me that. That’s the Jerry Lee Lewis I know. The one people love.”Jerry Lee Lewis always hoped that his music was…

Myra Lewis Williams, also known as Myra Gale Brown, was the third wife of late rock ’n’ roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis and — more infamously — his 13-year-old cousin at the time they got married.So whatever happened to her? Williams, 78, said in 2016 that she’s been “right here” the whole time — but she apparently no longer had a relationship with her notorious ex-husband after 2015.Lewis, who died Friday at age 87, weathered professional exile in 1958 after a reporter covering his arrival in London inquired about the…
