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 anything 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.
