  • When I was a kid my parents had a cassette of this album that they'd play on car trips. I remember how Mom would always reach to fast-forward the tape past "Harry, it sucks" lest our tender young ears be corrupted.

  • On March 18, 1965, a 35-year-old truck driver named Gene Seski[2] was on his way to deliver a load of bananas to Scranton, Pennsylvania. and was returning from the boat piers at Weehawken, New Jersey where he picked up his load. Seski was driving a 1950s Brockway diesel truck tractor with a 35-foot semi-trailer while and was headed down Rt. 307 when he suddenly lost control. The "two-mile" descent extends from Lake Scranton down to the bottom of Moosic Street

  • @MOCARA52 Harry mentioned during a show that he had hoped those shirts wouldn't sell..... but he still urged folks to buy one on their way out, and he promised to sign anything you bought.

  • one of the cars he hit was my grandma and grandpa while my grandma was holding my mom in the front. she was thrown from the car and found in a pile of bananas by a nurse and my grandpa needed 100 stiches in his head but that kid driving the truck saved everyones life except his own and did one hell of a job to do that
