Happy Cruising with Gavin McLeod I remember the first time I saw Gavin McLeod in person. It was more than forever ago, back in the ‘70s while “The Mary Tyler Moor Show” was still in production. I was with some friends at our local 31 Flavors. I
Jack Wild & Mayor HR Pufnstuf Sometimes the forever ago really WAS forever ago. 50 Years Ago this weekend, the theatrical movie “Puf’n’stuf” (aka “Puf’n’stuf Zaps The World”) opened in theaters. I hate to admit that although I didn’t see it opening week, I did see it
Robby Benson *sigh* Back in the forever ago, in 2002, I was known as somewhat of an expert on “Tiger Beat Magazine.” I had a book deal that had me doing a ton of research on the subject of Teen Idols, including amassing a pretty impressive collection
Would you believe that 50 years ago today (from my writing this), the very last episode of “Get Smart” rain prime time on CBS? The comedic spy spoof was originally created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry as a parody of “The Man From Uncle,” which ended
Being quarantined at home has created a big void of time passing with no autograph collecting, but it has gotten me to start pulling some things off the shelves for the first time in years. While sorting through some old Tiger Beat magazines, I came across my

I’ll never forget the first time I met Mr T. It was not long after he became famous for appearing as Clubber Lang in “Rocky 3”, and I was working at Tower Records. One of my designated responsibilities was the Spoken Word section, so I was doing
I’ve been a fan of “The Brady Bunch” since its first airing way back in September, 1969. That was forever ago, and although it’s a little tough to admit I’m older than “The Brady Bunch,” I’ve had a lot of great experience collecting memorabilia from the show.
We are DEVO! When trying to impress people with absurd stories, I like to trop out “did I ever tell you about the time I saw Devo naked?” Yep, it’s true. It was forever ago, but it was one of the perks that came from working in
40 years ago this week (at the time of this writing) the English Ska band The Specials went into the studio with producer Elvis Costello to record their self-titled debut LP. Recorded in summer of 1979, the LP was released that October and became a bit of
Forever ago, in the late 1970s, I was going to as many music shows as I could. It was a exciting time for music in Los Angeles, when you could see some now legendary bands in smaller venues. The Cramps were growing in popularity around here, and
RAMONES Mania! I fell in love with he Ramones the first time I heard them on KROQ in the mid ‘70s. I started buying their albums after reading about their in Circus Magazine and how they had influenced the then-current Sex Pistols, who were making a bigger
