tee vee under the sea

Foggy weather blurs reality, so does misting rainy springtime days, so does television, especially 60s -70s tv sitcoms. So live long and prosper within your fog of retro-ness and go watch your endless reruns of the Bunch, and Hogan and what-what-what. Note from tv blathersville: Ricou Browning, who played the Gill Man in the "Creature" movies, and consulted on James Bond movies whenever there were underwater sequence, wrote and produced the Flipper tv series (and guest starred in a few episodes). The man literally lived underwater and still does. He is the only surviving Universal monster. He's going strong in his 80s.

Reelin'

Early Who concert cuts into Barbara Ann. They idolized Brian and The Beach Boys and played the tune everywhere they went with Keith Moon tackling Brian's falsetto lead and doing a nice job. Later in the 70s Moon, Al Jardine and Elton John would hang together in the studios cutting freelance tracks in between their own sessions. The second clip is from the masters themselves doing it as only they can. Dig Carl shredding solo. Note: later this summer we will post clips of Dave going back to the old neighborhoods in SoCal and talking about the dude who showed him and Carl how to play the Chuck Berry riff they later made famous on Surfin USA. Go rock yourself silly baby. Go!

There's Hope In That Hop

Since April showers cause May flowers we want to promote all the flora we can, so here is an episode entitled Wet Hare that has mainly to do with water conservation and flowers and carrots and such...oh yes and rabbits too, we can't forget about rabbits, and so because of that, this goes out to our good friend Robert and all lovers of comedy and dams and explosions and such, and if YOU have a request, don't forget to use the comments to file your request and moving on we have a solid rocker called Magic Power because you want, no, you NEED to rock out and remember if you use the word AND continuously in a sentence over and over you can run one continuous sentence literally to infinity which is a long long way out there in the haze, you know?
