My draft #: 165

Was that good or bad?  (I've never known how the draft worked!)

they picked 366 birth dates, numbered 1-366. 1 - bad; 366 - very good.

I think 165 was right in the middle. In the draft lottery, they'd draw dates (month/day) out of a hopper, and whatever order they were drawn in determined the draft priority for those born on that date. Sept. 14 was drawn first, so pretty much everyone of draft age born on that date got drafted unless you could come up with a deferrment or your daddy was George H.W. Bush.

Ah, Mayberry RFD--aka The Andy Griffith Show post-Andy. Anyone recall how they wrote Andy out of the show? Heart attack? Hit by a bus? Heroin addiction?

When Andy Griffith went color it was the start of the downfall. Opie was better in BW

I don't watch color AG -- Howard Sprague was no Barney Fife, Goober was no Gomer.

bad in the early time when I was shielded by my college deferment.  When I dropped out, it got close, but I escaped, and was therefore removed from pool after that year.

this reggae thing (also called "Monkey Man"?) is NTM and (obviously) an ATBB.

[Rastermon]

<ignorance> who is this? </ignorance> I only know the Specials remake of monkey man

[urth]

Now this is cool--the Stones' Monkey Man followed by the Maytals' Monkey Man. Def. an ATBB!



Wonder if AL is exploring the Warmth of Vinyl?

Bowie and Major Tom in the orig year of release -- a nod to David's son and his movie Moon? (it opens Friday)

[RGMike]

VHM Jon Voight before he became a right-wing nutjob.

I'm shocked to learn that Space Oddity is a bustout, as far as the database goes.

BOS3 Nilsson, Everybody's Talkin'.

Heard one of Dave's old 1969 bumpers leading into the Midnight Cowboy clip.

all I heard was the MGM lion (incorrect, actually -- MC was a United Artists release.)
