You know how it is browsing YouTube, with one video leading to another. Watching this one, which requires knowing who Harry Truman was, I realized that not only do I know who that talented little girl is, I met her a few years ago and we had a couple of very nice chats.
(Note that I have posted this in my Sci-Fi category.)
Outstanding late Psychedelia from the late Peter Green. The single was released in May, 1970, and Alice Cooper began recording one of my favorite albums, Love It To Death, six months later. I don’t know if one influenced the other, but it sounds likely.
The 60’s had miniskirts and, at Marvel Comics, mini-books. Mark Evanier explains.
I had the Cap and Hulk mini-books, both long gone, so I’m looking forward to getting this little set. I have it on pre-order.
With six kids in my family, growing up I probably had less spending money than Evanier. I was also into model building, which forced me into making some extremely difficult purchasing decisions with my $1/week allowance (equivalent to about $7.50 today). I’m sure that was why, without realizing it at the time, I majored in Economics in college.
Over the past 10 years I have taken advantage of familial opportunities, shall we say, to watch many hours of the Gundam anime TV series, but I haven’t seen any of the movie compilations. Here’s my chance “for a limited time.” Exactly how long that is, I don’t know.

At the 2012 New York Comic Con, Sunrise showed a preview of an upcoming Gundam series and held a vote on whether they should play it with subtitles or the English dub, and I lost that vote.
