That was a very funny scene from BACK TO THE FUTURE. Very cute time travel movie...
Trivia...if you watch the first broadcast TWILIGHT ZONE {Where is everybody?)....you will see that BTTF used the same town!

Interesting. That was 25 years earlier.

Dennis Leary said it best:

“What kind of country is this where John Lennon gets six bullets in the chest, and Yoko is standing right next to him and not one effing bullet? Explain that to me!”

She publicly broke up one of the world’s most famous families. It had to be humiliating for the children.

I saw Chuck open for the Stones in 1969. He was the best part of the show!

The look on Chuck’s face says it all.

John is biting his lip also.

Although I did admire his poetry, I, too, was skeptical about Bob Dylan’s singing style. I was a hipster teen when he came on the scene, and heard his music constantly, but never bought an album.

Recently a friend gave me an album of his greatest hits. Listening to it fresh after all these years, I began to realize that he had a consistent approach to the musical scale. It is as if he was not using merely 8 notes per octave, but 16. Enjoy it greatly. His influence on American music and pop culture has been remarkably deep and lasting.
