In 1960, the year of your birth, the top selling movie was Swiss Family Robinson. People buying the popcorn in the cinema lobby had glazing eyes when looking at the poster.
That was before there were DVDs. Heck, even before there was VHS. People were indeed watching movies in the cinema, and not downloading them online. Imagine the packed seats, the laughter, the excitement, the novelty. In 1960, a new character entered the world of comic books: Aqualad. Bang! Boom! But that's just fiction, right? In the real world, in 1960, Michael Stipe was born. And Neil Gaiman. David Duchovny, too. And you, of course. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... it's 1960. There's TV noise coming from the second floor. Someone turned up the volume way too high. The sun is burning from above. These were different times. The show playing on TV is Bozo the Clown. The sun goes down. Someone switches channels. There's Gunsmoke on now. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. There's a kid outside, shouting, playing. He doesn't care about time. He doesn't know about time. He shouts and plays and thinks time is forever. You were once that kid. |

I remember those days.. rainy days and comic books ooooooooo yeah.. loved comics.. we didn't have a TV at home until I was in my teens.. my parents felt there was LOTS more to life than the BOOB TUBE as they called it..  but we WERE allowed (once we got one) to watch only certain programs at certain times.. sunday was always 6pm DISNEY and 7pm the Ed Sullivan Show.. there were the capper to the weekend and a sign, tomorrow was back to school..
