No matter what he writes about, in any amount of paragraphs Steyn never fails to entertain and enlighten (I know that phrase is already in use but really, Glenn doesn’t fit that description).

Another great read. Thanks for sharing.

Cindy Williams was pretty. It seems like her career just died after or maybe during “Laverne and Shirley”.

This thread is begging for a joke.

Knock knock.

Never heard of this before, that there was a re-release, or that HF sang in it.

Sounds like a hoot. Any way there's a YouTube of it?

If you go to the link, Steyn has the clip of Harrison Ford serenading Cindy Williams.

AG’s mise en scène nailed my teenage years. It is as it was. Been there, done that.

I wish Steyn’s TV persona was as good as his writing. Why doesn’t he have a presence on Fox, anyway?

I remember seeing American Graffiti in 1973 when it first came out. The tag line for the film advertising was "Where were you '62?" The cultural and musical differences between 1962 and 1973 were astounding. Only 11 years later. The 20 and 30 something audience at the showing of the film was almost tearful at the nostalgic scenes and music. I was in junior high in '62 and the film captured that year so perfectly that it was amazing.

I tell younger people today that no one was smoking pot or using drugs when I was in high school, at least where I lived, in the mid to late '60s and they find it hard to believe.

Harrison certainly can sing. He did that pretty well.

It reminded me of my high school years too. There were some differences. We listened to the Big Bam in Montgomery Al. during the day and WLS at night.

Someone told me they only played 10 different hits during prime hours. I checked and they were right.

All the high school kids hung out at the Parkway. Dragging main was not quite as popular but it was a small town.

Never heard of Wolfman Jack. So many kids parked at Back Lakes that someone stole a city parking meter and stuck it in the ground there.
