Yep, the song. We all remember the song.

bdwaygirl, I know what you mean about not having control - I feel that way all the time - we're always at someone's mercy - landlord, MTA, employers...I often wonder how we ended up here from the caves!

I was obsessed with Poseidon Adventure as a child. I had the ViewMaster discs and I used to stack boxes in my room so that I could climb them and try to escape. The only problem was, I always played Linda (wearing one of my father's shirts) and I had to fall just before I reached the top.

And I could listen to that song on a loop all day. I love the way the passengers dance inappropriately to it as if they are seriously rocking out.

There was a musical parody here in Chicago a couple of years ago. It was a good idea, but the score was pretty awful. They did some cross-gender casting which did not work so well except for the guy who played Nonnie. He was the best part of the show. I loved how he sang the repeat and fade ending of The Morning After...

"There's got to be a morning af-There's got to be a morning af-There's got to be a morning af-There's got to be..."

Bongo, did you ever find that K-Tel album you were obsessed with?

[mominator]

Ahh those K-Tel albums. I have to be honest I almost never leave Barnes and Nobels or Best Buy w/o a 60's or 70's collection CD. (How sad is that?)

Not sad, just nostalgic.

Hi Everyone!

I survived the "ice storm" that hit Atlanta on Friday and Saturday and was able to make it to The Graduate at The Fox Theatre on Sunday night. I thought that the show was pretty good - Morgan Fairchild still looks terrific! I can't believe that it's been almost 20 years since I saw the movie with Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft.

Is anyone up for a 70's trivia question this afternoon???

The Carol Burnett Show was not a sitcom, DG.

I guess I wasted too much time in front of the TV during childhood God knows I wouldn't have a clue about the current shows!

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 2/1/05 at 3:02pm

Sadly, DG, I spent too much time in front of the TV as a child and I STILL do! But I don't have a fabulous partner and lovely home life like you do.

Rath - believe me, the home life still includes some TV - it's just now pretty much always something on the Food Network or HGTV (or Homo and Gay TV, as we refer to it )

LOL! That's a good one.
