A Due South music video to "Hot Rod Lincoln" by Johnny Bond. The man in the back seat that's "white as a ghost" is the mountie's deceased father.
I actually went to a Due South convention in Toronto. Very exciting. I love that song.
One of our favorite shows - I bought the whole series for my husband a couple of years ago for Xmas.
When it came out, a friend of mine wanted me to show her how to tape things on her VCR, because it was something she felt comfortable having her grandkids watch when they visited.
Same here. Yesterday everything was lightning fast. Tonight it’s back to what it was for months; but not as bad as the last week was.
(Hard to think that this is NOT related to something in the not-so-msm...)
I always preferred the 1970’s version...it flowed better for me, but...watching the video, the peace t-shirt with the dove...grrr.
Speaking of peaceniks, remember the Star Trek episode, The Way to Eden? That’s the peace episode that always drove me bonkers.
I think I actually bought it twice, once in a Canadian version, trying to get best quality. Benny made being a goody/goody a good thing.
Looks like the attacker is looking for new ways in.
I vaguely remember that show. The car though isn’t even a Lincoln. It’s a Buick Riviera. We had a 1972 Riviera for a while when I was in his school. 455 cubic inch engine was powerful but a gas guzzler. Fun car to drive just floating down the road. Great song too!
One gets as close as one can with a song and a show. There’s usually some phrase in the song that registers so strongly that you stuff the song into the part that doesn’t quite fit. The show is definitely worth a second look. Husband and I weren’t much into floating down the road. We were more into feeling the road with an MGB. The only way we floated was when the back end broke loose on a turn. It was a great way to get around corners fast, but too terrifying for me. He was into gymkhanas so it never scared him as it did me. I went on to a Fiat Spyder, which was stable as they come.
Sigh. I admit to loving Star Trek as a kid, but...I just cannot watch it now without the overtones of the UN bouncing in my head...
I never picked up on it at the time...
I can still ignore that for Trek, but there are some shows that just pin me to the wall and I can’t get away from their liberal POVs. NCIS has been ruined for me, and I had to watch Boston Legal with one finger on the fast forward button. At least I knew enough not to watch live when I couldn’t fast forward past the lectures.
Fortunately for me, Star Trek was one of the last major television series I watched. Except for watching “ER” and “Home Improvements” in the Nineties, I have never watched anything after that. I stopped watching television in the late Nineties...I cannot even sit through it now.
I never got into either of those. Should I have?
My wife and I both work in healthcare, so we found “ER” entertaining in that so many things were spot on..for example, in every episode, there always seems to be some maintenance person on a ladder with only the lower half of their body protruding from the overhead...which made us laugh!
“Home Improvements” was amusing to us from the “old married couple” angle and the typical guy persona of Tim Allen (who my wife would humorously point out I was often like, with examples, to which I could only grumble in assent)
"I've got a license to fly" is just a line in the song "Hot Rod Lincoln" that always made me smile when I heard it.
I don't think it was meant to be taken literally.
I glad you're a certified air-person.
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll keep an eye on ER and see if it ever goes on sale on Amazon. It’s currently $200 but they often have decent sales. I gave up on Gray’s Anatomy.
Sigh. Of course, I cannot stand to watch it now because even seeing George Clooney in anything nauseates me.
From a humor perspective, my wife enjoyed “Scrubs”!
I did buy one season of Scrubs but couldn’t get into it. I can usually ignore outside agitation by stars, though I’ll admit that the antics of the Gray’s Anatomy people pushes heavily into my feelings about the show. And I’m having a great deal of trouble with my enjoyment of Harry Potter after the idiotic rants of Rawlings. I try to pretend that the books just sprang into existence without benefit of author. And how could James Patterson, one of my favorite authors, co-write a book with Bill Clinton? At least there’s still W.E.B. Griffin.
