I tried to explain who Charles Nelson Reilly was to a group of student assistants the other day. And I have to explain Alice’s restaurant EVERY semester.

great survey!

My. God. According to this quiz, I am really old. But I’m not even 40 — ok, really close, but NOT QUITE!

Thanks for putting the twoallbeefpatties song in my head for the rest of the day! :)

He even got me an ultra cool Leo Sayer 8-track as well as the Bee Gees and Abba. I was in heaven… the era of Janie the Roller Disco Queen began that Christmas.
