  1. Guy down the street from me was my age but had two brothers who were late teens.  One was fresh from a short trip to county, other had actually done some short time.  Both got out the same week in 1979.  They were OK dudes - just pot-selling longhaired rednecks.  

    To celebrate they said they were going to see KISS.  Well, my buddy and I really wanted to go.  They didn't believe we'd do it and it became sort of a dare thing.

    So we ended up telling my parents we were going to the movies and then to spend the night.  And they took us to the concert.

    John Cougar opened.

    I was 9. It blew my mind.

    To this day, I still have no idea why those to guys did that other than to see if I would go.

    They both ended up in Hunstville FWIW.

  2. Grand Prix Driver is geat.

    Many good recs. I’ll add three.  

    “Wolf Hall.” A masterfully written/acted/produced BBC/PBS series from Thomas Cromwell’s point of view. Can’t rec highly enough for historically-minded viewers.

    “The White Queen.” Ten-ep War of the Roses series based on a series of historical fiction novels. 

    “Grand Prix Driver.” For a motoring enthusiast. Follows McLaren’s F1 team through a season.  

    Grand Prix Driver was great. 

    Ghost Story is weird as fuck but I laughed.  

    The Lobster is hilarious and very dark.  

     

    There are also shit ton of compilations of old commercials, 70’s driver’s ed films and those anti-drug films we watched in junior high.  I can’t stop watching those.
