Hi, Kirk!
ReplyDeleteWowie, good buddy! You threw one heck of a New Year's Eve party. Many memories came flooding back as I scrolled down, not the least of which was one of my favorite terrible horror flicks The Thing With Two Heads starring Ray and Rosey. I remember Guy Lombardo's televised NYE party and even more so I remember Johnny Carson breaking away from his Tonight Show for the ball drop in Times Square. Veteran radio broadcaster Ben Grauer reminds us how great reporters were in the early and mid 20th century. His spontaneous, unscripted commentary on the assembled multitude in Times Square was brilliant. I watched all of the ball drop videos with great interest. I was only 41 days old when the world welcomed the year 1950. It was great to watch 1965 turn into 1966 knowing that I was in my mid teens and about to experience what I still consider to be the greatest year of my life as a card carrying Dell Rat. The 1990 ball drop clip featured singer/actor Michael Damian whom I was watching practically every weekday in the role of Cricket's bf Danny Romalotti on The Young And The Restless. It also reminded me of the long running ABC broadcast New Year's Rockin' Eve hosted by Dick Clark (a shameless rip-off of New Year's Rockin' Eve in the Shady hosted by Shady Seaweed). All kidding aside, the 1999 NYE broadcast gave us a glimpse of an aging Clark still doing a competent job as host. Four years later he suffered a stroke and missed the telecast, then returned the following year and several more but clearly disabled and unable to speak clearly. It was rather sad to see and hear. The Little Rascals (Our Gang) song at the end of the post with Darla, Buckwheat, Alfalfa, Spanky and the other kids reminds us that time marches on and waits for no man (or woman). It also reminds me that New Year's Eve used to be a huge deal when I was young. So were The World Series and the Miss America Pageant. Nowadays those special events aren't nearly as special, at least to me. Maybe it's a sign of getting old.
Thanks for the truckload of memories, good buddy Kirk. Happy New Year to you. See you in 2018!
Happy New Year, Shady!
DeleteNow that's the kind of New Years Party blow out I like to see. And it won't be the first time a ostrich would take me home. Some of those clips were funny from the videos. I can't think of a place to drop my balls. I meant, watch a ball drop!!! Now excuse me while I go to cut some rug on the dance floor... right after I finish this drink........
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR KIRK🎈🎆🎉✨🍸🔔
Happy New Year, Maddie!
DeleteHappy New Year to you
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Adam!
DeleteWowsers! Even Aunt Esther! But so unpleasant to see Kirk Cameron's face in that 1990 video! Maybe that was before he became holier than thou (and a complete idiot). But then Judy Garland and The Velvet Fog. What an incredible rendition of The Party's Over.
ReplyDeleteTexting on cell phone, which is why I am keeping replies short, but, yes, before Cameron found the Lord.
DeleteHappy New Year, Mitchell!
Man, you know how to throw a party! I got so drunk that I'm only sobering up now, 2 days later! I gotta tell you though, that ostrich ride home was brutal. Happy New Year! And it was soooooooo nice to listen to Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians again. I miss them.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Debra! Sorry about the ostrich ride. Next year I'll provide an emu instead.
ReplyDeletei really like all your movie so much .
