Anyone remember that movie The Longest Day? It’s a WW2 movie from the ‘60s. Had John Wayne in it.
I liked how it had all these small stories from different perspectives, wrapped around the main plot. I think that made it feel more authentic. Little touches that you’d only include if you were actually there kind of thing.
Like the guy with the backwards shoes… I think ‘belltower guy’ was more of an urban legend though.
Speaking of Kings, why did chivalric orders go out of style anyway? I guess at some point they turned into a lame pay-for-membership cigar club without all the armor and fighting…?
At least in fiction and video games they are still pretty awesome.
About 31 years ago, Kriss Kross “Jump” was #1 on the singles charts. Cool right? Inside-out is wiggity, wiggity, wiggity wack. Why not head on over to YouTubb or other music service and re-listen to that now classic tune? Other popular songs from that time include “Under the Bridge”, “Baby got back”, and “Achy Breaky Heart”.
What a great time it was for music! What do we have today? As of last week, Harry Styles had 7 songs in the top 20. Sad. Where’s the variety? Am I that out of touch? No, it’s the children who are wrong.
So I had the opportunity to listen to some old-school vinyl records recently. I might sound like an old man here, but its been a long time since I just sat down and listened to music rather than have music playing while something else is going on.
It was a great experience, helped in a large part by a designated person to cue the records. Super helpful when you’re listening to ‘45s…
