My "Groovy"
Room in the '70's
In my rooms at home and at
college,
you'd
find:
-
- My
American flag sweat shirt.
-
- A
black-Light poster of Jesus walking on water. (If you were in The Jesus
Movement, you probably know which one I mean. For more on my
beliefs, see my Beliefs page!)
-
- A
poster of Thor and my Thor's hammer that my roommate made me.
-
- Plastic
figures of Marvel and DC heroes.
-
- A
collection of 7-11 Slurpy cups featuring the Marvel characters (my
roommate and I even had the coveted Red Sonya, Howard The Duck, and Ben
Grimm ones).
-
- Lots
of comic books (For my reviews of current comics and more on the Marvel
and DC universes, see my Comics page!).
-
- A
"Watergate Bug" - a crazy little insect figure wearing
headphones and bobbing up and down on a spring.
-
- Several
posters of Lynda Carter and Jacqueline Smith.
-
- My
leather jacket and sun glasses I used in our golden-oldies revival band,
The What Four (for more on them, see my Oldies page!).
-
- A
picture of Clint Eastwood as The Outlaw Josie Wales, and later, my
hamster with the same name (See my reviews of more recent movies
on my Movies page!).
-
- Creedance
Clearwater Revival, Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, Kansas, Heart, Sha Na
Na, Larry Norman, James Bond soundtracks, or Oldies Collections
playing on my stereo.
-
- Copies
of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, the complete Chronicles Of Narnia,
C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy and his Till We Have Faces and nearly
all of his non-fiction works, almost any thing by Kurt Vonnegut,
and Stranger In A Strange Land. (For reviews of more recent
readings, see my Novel page and my Christian Books page.)
-
- The
cool cap gun I used when my roommate and I were Starsky and Hutch (I
was Starsky) in our running campus battle with two co-eds with
whom we had a prank war/"role-playing game before there were
any role-playing games" going on. It culminated in a dramatic
special effects-laden shoot out in the cafeteria with a cast of
thousands:-))
-
- All
sorts of Budman (the original version) T-shirts, posters, etc.
-
- A
collection of buttons, including one that exhorted "Nixon
Now!" and one with local celebrity Eddie Meath and Sylvester
The Cat declaring me a member of the WHEC kid's club.
-
- The
hockey puck I was hit with at a Rochester Americans' hockey game.
