And here, after all these years, I thought I was wierd holding a torch for this group, and in particular Davy Jones, which introduced me to the emotional rush of my first adolescent crush. It looks as though I am not alone in these special memories judging by all the recently posted comments. I...

What an iconic song. Of all the songs from this era this ranks at the top. But, why doesn't the video above show anyone doing The Hustle? And, what about the line dances that were so popular at the time, like The Bus Stop? It is great, though, to see the dances, hair styles, and clothes from ...

We first had the frigid 50's, then the violent 60's followed by the liberating backlash of the 70s which is where, I believe, she and this song belongs. Afterwards, we returned to a more reserved age, especiailly with the advent of AIDS in the 80's. But, I remember the freedom and, in some ways...

Oh... one other episode that is a bit different in the 1960's Alfred Hitchcock Hour, especially at the ironic ending is, "The Second Wife", which stars June Lockhart. You might be able to guess what is going on, but again, it's the actors and the directors of the day that give these stories a tru...

I have been looking for this particular episode for two decades, since they took AHP off the USA channel. It doesn't matter the inevitability of the conclusion, it's a great story rich in black humor, and terrific acting from actors of early TV transitioning in and out of movies. These episodes...

I wanted to see those punks get blown up.... I never knew this series existed! And, I'm so grateful to the Hitchock fanatic who posted this epsode. Well worth the watch. Where can I find more? I missed the opening credits. It seems this series existed at the same time as A.H. Presents. Why...

What happenned to the extended remix where they talk about,"... my tongue is full of poison. One kiss from me and you'll be dead (...SHIT!...)"! They were an oddity find for me back in the day back jn SF in the early 80's when there was a slight fascination for asians in the punk/new wave genre...

'67 is the year he and Sandra Dee divorced. Do you think he knew what he was singing about? I just love these old school performers who were less concious about technique, but completely focused on the message in the song. That's what I want to hear, and that's what I miss today. And that's w...

years ago, I was introduced to Scotto's Suor on vinyl. I spent many practice sessions on my cello playing this aria along with her as I learned her sense of timing and inflection. The subtletly of her exquisite interpretation cannot be over estimated, in my opinion - the LP being even superior ...

Rememebering this and her in the early 80's; I thought this was the music of the future. And, yet, today it is as fresh and forward as it was then. I always thought her Dolly Parton was en pointe! No, Dolly's never going back "there". But, it sure is great going back to 1981 to revisit this a...

I was first introuced to her performance of Angelica on record. Without the luxury of seeing her tremendous acting ability, I heard such amazingly refined artistry. She was absolutely influential in my approach to playing cello solos I would put her on my record player and try to imitate what ...

As iconic as this song with this singer is, I think it pales when compared to his interpretation of, "The Very Thought Of You". Having lived in SF, I can't connect my experiences there with that song no matter who sings it. But, I get the deeper heart felt sentiment behind his voice in "The Ve...

Great performance of one emootionally powerful piece. No wonder Shostakovich was so jealous of him! By the last movement of "Nevsky" tears would stream from my eyes... everytime... when I listened to this alone in my car. And, I don't even speak Russian. But, I can translate the music to a mo...

Wow, and I thought I was the only 107 year old kid around here. I LOVED this album (1964), and I wore it out. I made the unfortunate error of loaning it to a "friend" who claimed to have lost it way back then. I have never forgotten this LP, nor have I ever forgiven my former "friend", but I ...

It's funny how a song like this one can take you back to another lifetime. For me it was elementary school in Milwaukee. The kids were rough, mean spirited, and cruel. But, someone would bring a little record player to the clas,. and at the end of the day the teacher would allow us to play rec...

The title of this one is CASPER'S FRIENDLY GHOST...?

This was truly my most favorite of the Casper Cartoons. This is the THE cartoon that encasulates the true meaning of childhood inocence. How did we become a world of mystery, wonder and fun for children of all ages to a dark, fearful, and humorless society in such a short amount of time? To be...

As one who NEVER seemed to fit in any social circle in my childhood, neither the kids at school, at home, at church,n or anywhere, and as a child who felt betrayed by my parents, cartoons were my greatest escape and warmest friends. The greatest of them all was Casper. What genius it was for so...

WOW! I also remember this particular cartoon from my childhood. The Harveytoon cartoons were among my very favorite, and I was and still am a cartoon - a - holic. Boy, these were the days of true creativity in both aniamtion and story. I know the art of animation was not as carefully drawn as...
