Don't know about you, but that article makes me despise Bolton that much more. It was bad enough having to hear his horrible version of "When A Man Loves A Woman" at my brother's wedding several years ago (to say nothing of it winning a bunch of Grammys), but having Bolton own the Isley Brothers catalog......that would be un-stomach-able.

Greg mentioned Tim White's book as possibly the source for much of the material in the movie, but I pulled out my copy of "Heroes and Villains" (I forget the author and the book's downstairs, kinda lazy at the moment) during the movie and found quote after quote lifted almost directly from the book. A good example of this is what Brian said to his family after his father died ("This is gonna make a man outta me..."), though in the book he said it in a different setting. There were many other instances of this happening, and there were some contradictions as well. Maybe I'll check out the book later and name a few. Great book, by the way.

Well I can't even despise Michael Boston, he's not that bad, he's ,more like cream of wheat, he's bland and can't compare to the originals, my wife loves him, but at best he's ok. Still I have my pet peeves, like Brittany spears not against her , but her image and that cover, something in it makes me want's to grind my teeth. I know as a teen idol she will fade away in less than two more years, it's hard to wait though. unfortunately Michael Boston is not a teen idol, so he will be with us for a while unfortunately. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "brian marshall" To: Sent: Tuesday, February 29, 2000 11:20 PM Subject: Re: Why I STILL loathe Michael Bolton! > > > Don't know about you, but that article makes me > despise Bolton that much more.

I think it's out of print. Be seeing you, Bill ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Feb 2000 22:50:07 -0500 From: Don Smith Subject: i love dragnet :) This is the City, Los Angeles California, a city of neighborhoods, neighborhoods where a boy can grow up to be a city councilman, a policeman, or a criminal. When they do, that's where I come in... for my money Dragnet is probably one of the most interesting teen shows ever. always overly harsh treatment of teens, which for my money is preferred to the pandering that Norman Lear did (while I'm as left-wing as anyone here, All in the Family can make Meathead into a snotty classist jerk like it's a positive trait), there are at least 8-10 great teen punk episodes or episodes with good teen punk scenes. There are 2 separate ones which feature Pandora's Box/Sunset Strip scenes. In what might be the best hippie scene, a flower child's purse was stolen by a dog. a dog! And she's stuck explaining to Friday that flowers were her thing, man. There several teen punk episodes, including one where a no-count guy is studying for underwater demolition training and ends up holding the cool kids hostage with a grenade- 30 years before Columbine. Dragnet is actually the first show I have found which discusses suburban teen vandalism and crime. previously it was always city kids, but Jack Webb, who was raised by a single mother on welfare (county relief in those days) in Watts, LA, had this incredible grudge against suburban rich kids and man did it show. yikes! nothing like obsessive resentment to fuel the auteur. >The funniest one is one called >"Blue Boy" when the guy does LSD and paints his face blue. The title of that episode, which was the first ever episode of Dragnet after the rarely seen TV Movie "Dragnet 66," is "The Big LSD." (??) Californios note that the show was set before LSD became illegal and a subplot is Gannon fussing over how they can't bust the kid for possession. like I was taping them all and getting into the whole Dragnet style the show would always intro with "It was a rainy wednesday, Frank and I were working Juvenile," or "it was a Friday evening and Frank and I were working Narcotics Division," and after watching like 10 episodes in a row (while finishing a 100pp+ paper about Jack Webb for school) they intro the show and just go, Frank and I were working the Juvenile Narcotics Division, and you know there is no Juvenile Narcotics division... but in a perfect world, we'd all be cops working the Juvenile Narcotics division in 1967. Georgia Street Juvenile, Don - ------------------------------ Is "Dragnet" on TVLand? I wouldn't want to sit through much of that stiff-necked show, but that one I'd watch again. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 Mar 2000 14:53:48 +1100 From: "Karl Roper" Subject: Re: Get Smart I agree wholeheartedly there. But I also gotta add Emma Peel from the Avengers (British spy type show from the same era).

RE: Dust? Along the lines of hard psych, I would definately add: Witchfinder General and Sir Lord Baltimore. Sir Lord Baltimore - found a vinyl copy of their S/T album in high school after seeing a mention of them in Forced Exposure. When I put it on - WOW! Listening to it now - their sound is pretty rad. Some of the crunchiest guitars I've ever heard. OTT singing... and nothing stopping them. For a dumb comparison, they could almost be a Black Sabbath/Led Zep hybrid but with extremely crunchy guitars and singing about Lady of Fire and how women are the Master Heartache. I know there was a re-release of their 2? albums recently on CD but I haven't found those, otherwise I would have them now.... Let's see, I think they were from NJ... LP was put out by Mercury. Remember FE mentioning something about a Mercury metal/hard rock takeover of the industry at the time?....and no date, tho' early 70s. Ex. lyrics: I hear sirens calling me/Ifell prey into the wind/Sail on crimson majesty/Turn, turn wheel of fortune spin.... Witchfinder General, I think, were Sabbath contemperories. I only have their Death Penalty re-ish on CD. Sometimes I can't stand the album but for a few songs. The singer's definately got one of those Ozzy stoner voices. Music is along the same line tho' not as great and jazzy as Black Sabbath. Ex. lyrics: Reality it is a lie - the briefest dream before I die/To comprehend the cosmic scheme/See the truth behind my dream/Look out for me - Let's trip on LSD/Look out for me - D.S. look out for me What's D.S.? - --- "Lindholm, Jeffrey" wrote: > > Let me also say these records really cook.

He opted not to lose the locks. In the final scene, he's standing on the sidelines, watching some jock take his place,. As he watches the jock kick ass, he gets overwhelmed by school spirit and yells "RUN< YOU HAIRLESS FUCKER!"
