        … I remember Overbrook telling stories of him going to Overbrook before they had a history class.

                Karen was just another name
                John Erlichman, one of President Richard Nixon's closest aides, has admitted America's "War on Drugs" was a hoax designed to vilify and disrupt "the antiwar left and black people" when it was launched in 1971.

                  When you'd get ten bucks from the Mac machine, get your tank filled with regular unleaded (you had to specify), buy a pack of smokes, and still have some change to make a call at a Bell of Pennsylvania payphone.

                    I remember when 50 yard field goals were an accomplishment.

                      I can remember Drama Queen regaling us with his tales of swimming in the Crystal River with the manatees and having sex with (a male) one.

                      Also, going to bed with a transistor radio and falling asleep to the dulcet tones of Byrum Saam as the Phillies lost yet another game.

                            Boy, the way Glenn Miller played
                            songs that made the hit parade
                            Guys like me we had it made
                            Those were the days
                            Didn't need no welfare state
                            ev'rybody pulled his weight
                            gee our old LaSalle ran great
                            Those were the days
                            And you knew who you were then
                            girls were girls and men were men
                            Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again
                            People seemed to be content
                            fifty dollars paid the rent
                            freaks were in a circus tent
                            Those were the days
                            Take a little Sunday spin
                            go to watch the Dodgers win
                            Have yourself a dandy day
                            that cost you under a fin
                            Hair was short and skirts were long
                            Kate Smith really sold a song
                            I don't know just what went wrong
                            those were the days

                              Watching Sally Starr, Gene London, Wee Willie Weber and Happy (not really) the Clown. Don't mention the horrifying puppet that still haunts my nightmares...
