[BC] Where old TVs go...

[cldube]

Probably about 3 LOL. We used the film in a "talent show" Ahh to be young 
and surreal once again.
I'm getting misty as I think about super-8. Need to change the subject....

I'll bet that gulley would qualify as a toxic waste dump these days! Yes the 
sound of the exploding picture
tube is certainly music to12 YO ears. But then again, Elvis seemed to like 
it as well (combined with the report of
a Saturday Night Special).
