The Dave Clark Five!

Yeah, the Beatles, Stones and Who were really the great ones in the mid 60s, but come on...the DC5 really rocked with that loud bass and nasty, gritty sax!

My girls (27 & 31) wouldn't recognize their songs, and they grew up listening to my stuff. They constantly amaze their friends with their knowledge of Beatles, Stones, Spoonful, Airplane, Dead, Who, Byrds, Quicksilver, etc. But I guess I never exposed them to much DC5.

K-LUV (DFW's KOMA) hardly ever plays them either.

In the 70's the 50's were oldies.

I'm sorry but the 50's and 60's are the only real oldies for me. The rest are nostalgia for the younger generation.

I have a couple of Royals. They're worthless because I can't find a power
unit for them. A funny looking cloth electrical tape looking thing is stretched
between to round things. It looks like the strip goes into them. I guess it
could be used for flossing. I thought it might be an ancient form of mouse
cable, which aren't included with these components. They may work on an
operating system similar to IBM's in the early 90's.

Get this. No sign of a return, ctrl or alt key! How do they expect us to use
applications and save our work? Whomever designed this didn't have
productivity in mind.

Here's the kicker! There's no monitor! How in the world can you be
expected to see your work? To top it off, there isn't anything that
indicates spell check or online help. I think they were made in China.

Oh my! I just thought of something our kids, in my case grand kids, will
never know about. Mostly I'm very glad our kids will never know about this
hideous event that over ran the United Kingdom and the United States.
Naturally that rules out the Beatles.

This is something that came quickly and mercifully left almost as fast as it
appeared, and we all are thankful and the better for it.

Here's the awful event that nearly devastated the world.

Do you remember the week of the...

Neru jacket?

Hideous.
Words can't explain.
I had a dream (er, nightmare)... that a friend and I were eating at El
Charrito, on S. Robinson Avenue, with awesome looking dates while
wearing those now against the law jackets.

I'll bring to mind another horrible event that honestly devastated the photo
world in a later post.

The event that devastated the photo industry. How many of us were
unknowingly subjected to this? It was especially evident in the mid 70's. To
much chagrin, it was accompanied with the "mullet" hair style.

You're cringing, already. Yes, you're trembling. The girl you were
photographed with is trembling at this moment and you haven't seen her
in 35 years, or she's your wife and she's running to the closet to make sure
nobody will ever see them. EVER!

It was worse than any photo taken by the DOT. Unless you were
photographed with one by the DOT.

Think hard, or not so hard. Many of us have taken those photos and put
them wear, hopefully, nobody with see them.

Your mind is on high speed search mode at this very moment. Don't deny
it! Remember, it was in the mid 70's. The mind is relaying that everything
was hideous in the mid 70's. Not even "Saturday Night Fever" is as awful
as this. But, many were in the background. Part of the attire was an open
collared shirt. I know. The shirts alone are something you don't want to
think about. By all rights they were frightening.

This is it.

The event that was so horrible that you've blocked it out of your mind.

that was on that sponge thingie. (Tall Girl taught me that word)

I never had a Nehru jacket but I did have a sport coat once in the 60's without a lapel. That was a popular style for a short while.

Platform shoes.......

I wore those once and got vertigo and a nose bleed.

Our t.v. started having trouble holding the channel. we used a butter knife wedged into the tuner area to correct.

How about "all" black&white television. my grandparents got color t.v. before we did.

I remember WKY taking their new color cameras out of the crate on live t.v.

Did you lose your hair by rubbing your head on the sky while wearing platforms?

Do you remember when they used to sell a piece of colored plastic you could stick to the screen of your black and white TV? I remember it had basically three colors with the blue for sky being on the top and brown for the ground being on the bottom.

I just bought a "small" tab and it did the same and more.....

I know what you are talking about. Don't remember the family ever buying one though

I don't doubt that at all!

I'll bet we all used aluminum foil applied to the rabbit ears at one time or another. We also had a natural gas pipe I would sometimes ground it to. That seemed to be a better solution than standing and holding them for hours and hours.

Was helping my grandson, a soon to be first grader, with some easy to read literature this AM and recalled a phrase from way back in the day.....Slower than Ned in the primer....How many of our kids and/or grandkids are going to have the pleasure of Dick, Jane and Spot? Oh, BTW, what brought the phrase to mind wasn"t the boy's academic ability it was his reticence at practicing.:053:

Big ticket feature films showing at only one theater, and for months at a time, not just a couple of weeks.

My kids much less my grandchildren will never know about sleeping outside with a set of old bed springs tied up in a tree when the weather is so blasted hot you still need a quilt for the evening....Those were the days......My Grandmother (before T.V.) would pop us a grocery sack full of popcorn and a bucket of Kool-Aid (Cherry). That was our rations for the evening....Had to keep my rifle with me (No bullets....too young) in case a bear came up on us.....Can you even imagine giving a 5 year old a Real gun???? For my third birthday I got a .22 rifle (still have it) and for my 5th birthday I got a real Hunting Knife.....think about it.....Oh yeah, I still have a scar from the knife on the night of my birthday party....Hmmmmm..Loved those days.....

Dad would give us $2. Three of us would get into the movie at 30

was some high livin' for a $1.65!

There were 3. The Knob Hill, Yale and the Redskin. All were in
Capitol Hill.

Same for me. The Yale would put a phone out on a stool for kids to call home asking to stay "a little while longer"

The Knob had an ice cream machine that was chain operated. Sold fudgesicle and bananasicle only. They were frozen and it looked as if the machine needed defrosted all the time.

I don't believe the Cooper was going under that name when "Gone With the Wind" was playing. When I first went there in the 50's it was the Harber and later changed to the Cooper Cinerama. It had also been known as the Liberty.

I only knew it as the Cooper. Did Cleopatra play there exclusive? I know to purchase tickets you had to go to the Sears store on N.W. 23.

I did go there to see Cleopatra. I'm sure it was an exclusive for quite a while at least. I know that was the main reason I went downtown to see so many movies because you couldn't see them in any of the smaller neighborhood theaters then. The smaller theaters were basically only for the "b" movies. I spent a lot of time in those too if only for the cartoons and popcorn and candy.

Wasn't it the Warner after being the Cooper??????

Wasn't it the Warner after being the Cooper?
No. The Warner, which had been the Orpheum, was on W. Grand
Ave., which is now W. Sheridan. It was on the north side of
the street and at the corner of W. Grand Ave. and N. Robinson.

However, the Criterion Theater, which was located on W. Main,
had formerly been the Cooper Theater, not to be confused with
the Cooper that came many years later. The Criterion had been
at that location since 1920.

I'm collecting information about the theaters of Oklahoma City.
Maybe it'll be a blog some day.

That's the first I've ever heard about the Criterion ever being called anything else. Based on the pictures and the vintage cars shown on this page on Doug's website it must have been called Criterion at a very early age anyway. The earliest picture says 1922 and the name clearly says Criterion.
