New York City, 1977. John Belushi, Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter and me backstage at The Bottom Line. Four guys brought together by the blues. We loved them and they embraced us. Johnny Winter frequently wore a Blues Brothers t-shirt on stage. Photo by Bob Gruen.

In 1977, Richard Pryor spoofed Star Wars by playing himself as a bartender in a Cantina sketch for THE RICHARD PRYOR SHOW. He personally asked for George Lucas's blessing, and Lucas was such a big fan of Pryor's, he not only said yes but also gave Pryor various masks and costumes used in the film 😂 hilarious

A 20 year-old Robert Wadlow, the world’s tallest human being, standing with his father, 1938 ... The photograph shows Robert Wadlow, standing beside his father Harold, in 1938. At just 20 years old, Wadlow towered at 8 feet 11 inches and weighed 439 pounds. His height was caused by hyperplasia of the pituitary gland, which led to an abnormally high level of growth hormone. Despite his size, Wadlow’s demeanor was gentle, his smile calm and kind, a young man who carried his physical burden with quiet dignity. Born in Alton, Illinois, in 1918, Wadlow became a national sensation as “The Gentle Giant.” He traveled with the Ringling Brothers Circus and later became an ambassador for the International Shoe Company, which provided him with custom-made size 37 shoes. Every appearance drew crowds fascinated by his extraordinary proportions, yet behind the spectacle was a man determined to live as normally as possible. Tragically, an infected leg brace led to his untimely death at age 22. His funeral drew over 40,000 mourners, a testament to how deeply his story resonated with Americans. Robert Wadlow remains the tallest person in recorded history. His chair, rings, and shoes are preserved in museums across the United States, including his hometown’s “Robert Wadlow Statue and Exhibit” in Alton, Illinois. © History Pictures #archaeohistories

After spending $100,000 on 32 handguns and 10 Mercedes-Benzes for Christmas in 1970, Elvis boarded a jet and headed for the White House. He wanted to meet President Nixon to get a Federal Narcotics badge, which Presley believed would allow him to enter any country while carrying guns and drugs. The meeting between Elvis Presley and President Richard Nixon on December 21, 1970 remains one of the most unlikely encounters in American political history. Elvis, in the midst of a turbulent period marked by excessive spending and growing dependence on prescription pills, became fascinated with law enforcement memorabilia. He collected police badges from across the country and believed that an official federal credential would grant him special authority, particularly the ability to bypass customs searches while traveling. On a whim, Elvis boarded a commercial flight to Washington D.C. carrying a handwritten letter addressed to Nixon. In it, he offered to serve the country by helping fight drug abuse, arguing that his fame would allow him to reach young people in ways politicians could not. He also heavily emphasized his patriotism, his military service, and his desire for a federal narcotics badge. The White House staff, amused but intrigued, arranged a last-minute meeting. Nixon greeted Elvis in the Oval Office, where Presley presented him with a Colt .45 pistol as a gift. Nixon, in turn, granted Elvis an honorary Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs badge — not a functional credential, but enough to satisfy Presley’s long-standing obsession. The photograph of the two men shaking hands became the most requested image in the entire National Archives, surpassing even the moon landing and the signing of major legislation. It endures as a moment when two icons of vastly different worlds collided at the height of their cultural power. Elvis didn’t just collect badges — he often rode along with local police, carried police radios, and even performed citizen traffic stops in Memphis, where officers largely humored him because of his celebrity status. © Vintage American Photos #archaeohistories

Blue Ghost turns red! Our lander downlinked more imagery from the Moon captured around 2:30 am CDT during the totality of the solar eclipse last night. These images - rapidly captured by our top deck camera with different exposure settings - were stitched together in a quick clip. The red hue is the result of sunlight refracting through the Earth's atmosphere as the sun is blocked by our planet, casting a shadow on the lunar surface. The glowing ring of the eclipse is again seen on Blue Ghost’s solar panel. #BGM1
