My neighbor friend (I went out trick-or-treating with him & his brother.) went as Gene Simmons (I don't think he'd ever heard of KISS before that movie.), and I went trick-or-treating for the last time that year, since I was a 13-year-old 8th grader. At my school at least 2 boys (in lower grades) also decided to dress as Gene Simmons, and I imagine 1000s of other boys all over the US did as well.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00483417885845331990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-57175238295926375652019-10-26T12:00:54.349-04:002019-10-26T12:00:54.349-04:00Nothing like seeing a guide from the late '70&...Nothing like seeing a guide from the late '70's to remind us of how we miss review's of Guides from the '60's. <br /><br />Two impressive things:<br /><br />1. Even though Alexandria, MN was the worst town in the world (TM), somehow you got PBS programming.<br /><br />2. In the midst of SCTV-satire worthy Made for TV Movies, "Scenes from A Marriage" was shown. In the 1990's I borrowed the title when I made an instructional video for the health dept I worked for entitled, "Scenes From A Restaurant Inspection" starring some of our health inspectors, one posing as a substandard restaurant owner.<br /><br />Sorry, should have been a third item...THE poster...<br />JD Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882261865750361495noreply@blogger.com
