Blasting TV Eye Live right now now that the wife has left to study

Damn, I can't believe it but I actually like the shoddy recording - it adds to the manic craziness that is embodied in Iggy.

1. The Stooges
Edited on Sun Feb-08-09 05:13 PM by dgibby
Used to go to Sat. movies (all day-my mother recognized a cheap babysitter when she saw one!). Cost a quarter to get in & stay all day. Popcorn was 10 cents/bag. I think it was the same for cokes, but that was a loooooong time ago!
In addition to The Stooges, we saw: Ma and Pa Kettle, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, westerns, WWII films. Loved it!
Oops! Forgot all the cartoons. Duh!

2. I saw Iggy and the Stooges two years ago.
That's not back in the day but you couldn't tell by the way they played. Unbelievable show. One of the best I've ever seen.
