How Old Are You?

We did not have a TV. I watched the original Outer Limits at a friend’s house. Then had to ride my bike home in the dark. Ah, the good old days.

I'm old enough that colecovision was the first console I had, still remember playing the Star Wars wireframe game for that I thought it was amazing as a kid.

My best friend growing up, his parents had ON TV, was basically an A B switch behind the tv that you could change at 8pm and watch I think it was 2 movies per night, maybe one during the week and 2 on Fri, Sat. This was before Cable got ran through our town. I did see the first episode of MTV as well.

My cousin had WHT back in the 70s. Lots of softcore stuff. I recall the box had its own volume control. Ah, the bad old days.

Ah yes, The Bonzo Doo Dah Dog Band. Unique and weird. So fine!

Researching them online the other day I discovered that a gigantic release of their material is scheduled for Dec. 13. Includes 17CDs and 3DVDs. Testimony to their having a whole lot of fans still. AFAIK they dropped the "doo dah" from band name before release of any of the albums I'm familiar with, but in retrospect you see it. First I was aware of was "Urban Spaceman" album, which disappeared from my collection. My favorite is Tadpoles.

It was a wonderful time to be alive. I really miss that era.

Won't argue, but the 1960's were just OMG this really IS a new world!
