Dorothy Hamill Haircut
Is everything going retro, or am I just getting that old. I swear I have seen a couple young ladies with a Dorothy Hamill Haircut recently. Of course, I guess this should not surprise me. They don’t want to admit it, but a lot of the hairstyles today are retro hairstyles.
And the music is the same way, I hear kids all the time talking about Classic Rock bands like they were just discovered. Hey, did you hear the NEW Aerosmith song, it’s the bomb man !

Roberta Collins: The Loss of a True American Original
Arbogast on Film as well as Jack Hill's MySpace site are both reporting the untimely death of Roberta Collins, one of the shining lights of 1970's American cinema. I absolutely adored Roberta's work and had held out hope that I might one day get to meet her as she was the last of a group of my favorite seventies Drive-In Queens (a special set that included Candice Rialson, Claudia Jennings and Rainbeaux Smith) still with us. I've not seen this report anywhere else except the above two sites,
Sarah Palin Is A Fundamentalist Theocratic Extremist
Mother Davis takes her pulse as she prepares to write, John McCain is a man in his seventies. I am friends with several men in their seventies, and so I don’t mean this as an insult, but the plain fact is that men in their seventies have a remarkable habit of dropping dead. The chances of John McCain making it through a two-term presidency are not good. That makes John McCain’s choice of a vice presidential running mate especially important. If John McCain is elected President in 2008, it’s v

waiting for Grammy
He's waiting for me on the steps to my new door to a new life. The space for me at my daughter's is ready except for the painting. I am conflicted about leaving here, but, after eight years of the increasing burden of caregiving, I just can't do this any longer. When my mother was my age, she was going on cruises with my dad, surrounded by couples with whom they had been friends since their dating days. My dad passed away in his early seventies. I want to be able to have some sort of life be
Photo Licensing Opportunity: The Bathtub
The retailer Urban Outfitters is selling a shower curtain emblazoned with a photo from the archive of nightlife photographer Patrick McMullan. The "Patrick McMullan Studio 54 Shower Curtain" ($32) features a black-and-white photo, taken at the Seventies nightclub, printed on the vinyl. Stock photos are licensed all the time for use on household items – coffee mugs, placemats, mousepads. What's unusual is seeing the photographer's name being marketed so prominently.

HEY! KIDS! COMICS! : All Hail the King! : August 29th, 2008
Happy 91st birthday yesterday to the deceased King of Comics, Jack Kirby. Tom Spurgeon at the Comics Reporter has a mind-blowing collection of his imagery posted in his memory. Click the above image I grabbed from there (from the wonderfully bizarre 70’s one-shot The Dingbats of Danger Street… a Kirby attempt to bring the Dead-End Kids into the Seventies). Kevin and Zander’s City Pages Cartoons about the Republican National Convention are in Print! from Big Time Attic Little Nemo 1913-01-
Traps Magazine Sells Out Lenny White; Free Cover Story Download
If you're a fan of Return To Forever, you maybe interested in this news. Traps Magazine, a pretty cool drum/percussion magazine based in San Jose, Calif., recently did a cover story on Lenny White. White, as you probably know, is the drummer for Return To Forever, one of the seminal fusion groups of the seventies. At any rate, the issue completely sold out. So, Traps is now offering the cover story as a free download. The following link will take you to the story. http://www.drummagazine.c
