The Unnoficial Abbott and Costello Blog has Moved

Since Yahoo has announced the end of Geocities, I had no choice but to move my website that I have had since 1999. The new home of the Unofficial Abbott and Costello Blog is www.buckprivates.com. I hope to stay here for a very long time. Please update your bookmarks or links.

On This Day In Abbott and Costello History

April 24th

In 1974 Bud Abbott, the straight man of the Abbott and Costello comedy team, died in Woodland Hills, Calif.; he was 78.

Abbott and Costello on MySpace

I'm embarrassed to say I only found out that Abbott and Costello has a MySpace page today. You can find the page at:
http://www.myspace.com/abbottandcostellomyspace

It has info on Bud and Lou as well as videos and music from Abbott and Costello movies. I will be linking to it on the "links" portion of this blog, and I recommend that you check it out.

On May 3rd Abbott and Costello will be inducted into the NJ Hall of Fame at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark NJ. Other inductees include Jon Bon Jovi, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Althea Gibson, Jerry Lewis, Guglielmo Marconi, Shaquille O'Neal, Meryl Streep, Phil Rizzuto, Paul Robeson, Carl Sagan, Walt Whitman, and William Carlos Williams.
