Wish someone would have Channel 10's coverage of Hurricane Agnes with Jack and John Facenda. It was on here many moons ago. I remember the commerical for that Chevrolet dealership on Route 1 in Langhorne, Pennsylvania!

When I heard them say: "When is a massage parlor not a massage parlor?" I thought it was a riddle, such as "When is a door not a door?"

Excuse me, he was IN the 70's when this was recorded? How could he have been "stuck" in a time when they were in the current moment? BTW they did get to see the 80's and some got to see the 90's too. They did see change.

But they were NOT horrible for the time and technology of the time.
Its so easy to sit in 2009 and say how horrible things were in 1977 but if you lived in 1977 we thought this stuff was cool. Of course things have advanced since then.
Today we are spoiled by the laziness that technology and years of practice from previous generations have left for us.
When?
