JJ discovered this video of a 1975 party in Belhaven that was shot by none other than Jim Dollarhide. Many people are bracing themselves for the official news about what happened when his house burned down last week. However, enjoy this video shot by a young Jim Dollarhide who was obviously enjoying life at the time.
Marshall Ramsey honored Mr. Dollarshide with this Clarion-Ledger cartoon:

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

Groovy! R.I.P. my Man.
That was great. Thanks for posting.
Bunch Hippies and ne'er do wells. Today's Fondren. Notice the 'Islam Greets You' banner hanging over the band.
Yeah, I noticed a future Pulitzer winner, a few Belhaven icons, a young Jim Ducnan, Knoblock, and of course young Rube. This crowd would epatier any bourgoisie. Certainly they never amounted to much.
KF, Many thanks for posting...my memories of Rube's parties tend to be a bit dim.
Trolling, 3:03? Poor excuse for bait.
Hmmm. Blacks and whites having a good time together; old and young; no breast implants; too many Karen Carpenter hairdos; some kid in a MSU t-shirt; goofy Raad Cawthon; benignly cool Michael Rubenstein; freedom of religion. Pretty good cross-section of 1975, for better or worse.
Great Commodores music.
So, Burke; As always, no opinion is worthy other than your own or one that agrees with yours. Because I see it a bit differently, I'm suddenly a troll? I can't comment with authority on the presence of breast implants and only noticed the Islam sign because of present day, ah, global complications.
I used to dig The Commodores but, for this particular clip, a smooth version of Ricky Nelson's 'Garden Party' would have been excellent. Was that you along the hedge-line with the pooper-scooper trailing the dachshund?
I wrote the script for a commercial JD shot, many moons ago, and he was generous with his praise, although he edited out a three-syllable word. He replaced "garrulous" with "yakkity," as I recall. "We in Mississippi,honey chile," he explained. Completely "suey jenneris" (this accursed iPad won't let me type it in Latin). One of a kind, and he will be missed greatly.
This was when people were people. That same type party would never happen today. Everyone would be fiddling with their IPhones like mindless robots. I do miss those days!
I swear I saw a young Marsha Thompson.
Nice touch with the Crusaders !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trying to think of the young WLBT reporter's name. Male, brunette, glasses.
Was this tryouts for The Mod Squad or a porn movie set? Who dat bearded guy wif da roach clip?
Groovey Man. rainbow coop bunch
Many specimens of h. millsapiens! Two I recognized from campus visits to my older cousin's frat parties: Lee Howell and Ann Hendrick. I especially loved the Drunk People Playing Volleyball and the turbo-gay guy in the flaming orange t-shirt. Wish I'd been old enough to attend!
Is that Anne Lacoste Minor at 2:23? If so, we miss you!
Some good shots of Judy Johnson.
Major gaffe on my part. Yes, it's the Jazz Crusaders, not the Commodores.
Yes, 3:03, you caught me out in my overly condescending mode. I overreacted to the "ne'er-do-wells" description. My apologies.
Thanks for posting, Kingfish - very evocative of the time. I recognized a number of old friends from New Stage, and Poet's, and Millsaps.
The name of the guy in glasses standing beside the kid in the MSU shirt? Worked for WLBT forty years ago. Did the news or sports.
I've watched four times to confirm Burke's breast implant remark.
Didn't spot Willie Pinkston, Bert Case or Bob Neblett.
I just enjoyed watching this one.
Behind The Scenes of "Harmonies - A Mississippi Overture"
Meant to mention: I think the guy in the head-to-toe orange outfit is our beloved Jack Stevens: an extraordinary actor, as well as POETS bartender. Those who know him know that he was in a terrible accident (not his fault), and has struggled since. Good to have him on film in happier days.
A man with brown hair is a 'brunet' - not a 'brunette'.
And, while I'm at it, it's 'blond', when one is referring to a male, or to a mixed-gender group. It's 'blonde', when referring only to females.
I believe the brunet is Lincoln Warren
Of course the guy in the Dixie beer t-shirt with brown hair and glasses that worked for WLBT forty years ago was the one and only Michael Rubenstein, "The Rube", RIP,
Long-haired dude in gray pants and white shirt at 6.03 and again at 6.20 - priceless!
Whoever can identify that gentleman wins the Internet for the day.
Burke, I don't think (?) the one I mentioned was Jack Stevens, but...? Sorry to hear of his misfortune. I was in a play with him, the one and only time I trod the boards of New Stage. He was my big brother, with the memorable (character) name of "Alaric Chichester." Our mother was played by the venerable Virginia Fox Metz.
Yes, that was Jack. Even before I saw his face, the Lake Tony t-shirt gave him away.
Hey Ophelia, I take exception to your characterization of the "Drunk People Playing Volleyball". How can you look at those three awesome serves I made and think I was drunk?
Will Irby, I was probably just jealous. No talent for volleyball, even sober.
Well, the fact that I can't even remember being there might be an indication that your assessment was correct!
Times gone by. An unforgettable memory of a backyard 70's party in my neighborhood.
A time in our lives kept pure and simple.
Thank you for sharing the memories of all the beautiful people so many knew, loved and remember.
RIP Jim and Rube
and guess what? Judy Johnson still looks the same.
