Hi All!
If you have not already, I encourage you to take a listen to Marianne Faithfull. PBS recently aired The Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus - a really fun sixties rock and roll performance movie with The Who, John Lennon, The Stones and Marianne, among others. Her performance of "Something Better" is just amazing. I broke out the old best of LP and gave it a spin. Her voice is so unique. Haunting and beautiful.
You may remember him from the 1970's Hardy Boys Mysteries TV show. You may know that he's the half brother of David Cassidy or Keith Partridge. You might know him from the cult television show, American Gothic. But, do you have The Shaun Cassidy Scrapbook? I thought not.
Lance Kerwin was James At 15. I think they changed the title to James At 16 the following season. I don't remember how long this went on. Or the show. But here's the book by Don Wakefield. It's a first printing from 1977. Ah, 1977, the year KISS' Love Gun record came out. SHOCK ME!!
Any Willow fans out there??
Howdy Campers,
Do you see Roger from What's Happening dancing in the previous post? That man is Ernest Thomas. He is one of the underrated actors from 1970's TV. Great timing, great vocal gags, great comic presence and funky moves. A black John Ritter. Genius.
Good Day Friends!
This is where I went to high school. Tom C. Clark. Contributing writer, Zesty Droog, matriculated from there as well. Wow, what a selfish post. Anyway, if you are doing the math, it's been since U2 was any good since we were there last. And we all know that's a LONG time. So, come try to squeeze into our collective memories and groove to some ROTC - Rock On Tom Clark!!! - during lunchtime. Ahh, imagine you're in the cafteria, eating your 75-cent Hot Pocket (pepperoni) , when suddenly you are asked to dance! Yes, we had members of the ROTC spinning records in the cafeteria for a little while - until they realized what they had done. It wasn't pretty, believe me. Ummm, let's see, oh yes, our principal had a glass eye. It was very disconcerting. Zesty, can you remember anything else?
What in the hell is going on with the Office not being new??? I heard that it was coming back at the beginning of April. Is this the new trend with TV shows? "Lost" took that huge hiatus and "What About Brian" is having it's season finale next week?!?! Are we moving towards a 3-month television season? Is this like when they mess with school hours? Anyway, or ANYHOO, as many of you are fond of saying. Not me, mind you...so with all of the time that we will be gaining with shorter television seasons, why not take some time and try to create am internet phenom? To the left you see a creepy image of KENNY LOGGINS. We used to pass this guy around at work. Pass him on, far and wide. Let's get Kenny all the way to BRANSON!! Or maybe just Tulsa. FLOATING KENNY LOGGINS!
This game show existed somewhere between 1980-1985. The only memory I have of it is the "bonus" round of the show. The player that won the game overall had to stand in front of a set of maybe 10 or so cardboard cut outs that were of different characters. Perhaps a fireman, a policeman, an astronaut, etc. At the beginning of this round, one of the cardboard cut outs would come out and have their arm blocking the line to the other characters. The host (who i do not recall) would then ask the contestant a trivia question and if they got it right the character would put their arm down and another character would appear with their arm out. If the contestant would answer all the questions right then they would win a certain amount of money. Does anyone remember the name of this show? The exact object of the game? The host? I'm going nuts over here.
