Red Foley: The Family Man

One thing I love when looking through old (1910's-1950's) entertainment magazines is that the stories they tell about celebrities are often so positive. I get tired of how today most journalism is very downbeat. You hear only depressing stories about what is happening in the world, whenever you pick up a newspaper, turn on the news or read any political writings. Entrainment magazines and websites are hardly more happy and simply serve as mostly negative gossip and stories of stars misbehaving or going through hard times. While life is not completely happy and we need to acknowledge and accept the sad parts of life (we can't live in complete denial), we can't live life in complete depressing-ness. There are many happy things about life as well.

Here is an upbeat 1953 story from Radio TV Mirror talking about the great country singer, Red Foley. If you have trouble reading you can click on the pages and use your touch screen to zoom in.
