1968 (Forty years later...)
Aloysius J. Gleek:
Elle, you are indefatigable--I love it!
I'm not joking when I say that I now have TWTWTW (TW3) theme song in my brain whether I want it or not--I am hearing the fast paced musical cues, the segues, and the imperious, fluting voice of David Frost doing a parody of his own regular parodistical High-Church of England voice, a version of "Mawwidge today!" Frost's father was a minister!
This soundtrack in my brain is inconvenient if hilarious--no actual content, you understand, just the sound of it, more than 45 years later (the right lobe of the brain is just doing its job, I guess)!
By the way--Frost was one of the producers of TW3--I wonder if he managed to keep some of the shows... ::)

Why, I wonder?

Aloysius J. Gleek:
Ha!
Obviously I was thinking about the Zeitgeist--and then the Zeitgeist found me--
Today, in a small shop on Washington and West 11th Street (exactly opposite The Spotted Pig), I found this Trovata '68 tee-shirt on sale!
Then when I took it home--
--there was an attached muslin drawstring bag, tiny, and inside that, I found this rawhide thong-necklace with a clenched fist (below)--
Right on! Cool!
Then, suddenly--uh oh.
I remember this very old SNL film short that first ran during the mid-to late 70's, thirty years ago--it showed very real, very elderly people in a Florida 'Senior' Center, with (assumed, mocking) names like 'Snowflake, 'Dawn' and 'Rainbow,' each telling about the 'Old Days' of Free Love and LSD--
(Should I change my name to 'snowflake?')

Aw, John, I think "Moonbeam" would suit you better. ;)

Ha!
Al Capp's Moonbeam McSwine (the girl above) and friend (oink! below):
(I'm thinking I'm looking more like the friend than Moonbeam--)
;D

You wear that, and those who don't know what it means'll be telling you you look darn good for 68 years old, snowflake.
