if You Think About it, My Two Dads Was Weird

Seriously, what an odd premise for a primetime TV show: “since your dead mom isn’t sure which ex-boyfriend knocked her up, you’re going to live with both of them.” Everyone who watched tv growing up probably has an argument about which decade had a better class of sitcoms. For me, that would be the eighties, […]

Swinger Mom

“My Mom’s bed hung from chains, and she had a mini bar for a headboard.” This family pic from 1972 is amazing and something that could only exist in the ’70s. Also, OP, your mom was an absolute freak… God bless her H/T> I Love Hot Moms 1989 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

Greetings From The Nude Bowl

The Nude Bowl was a popular skateboarding locale from the late 1970s to the early 1990s.

How Record Store Day Became The Stupidest Day In Music

Like all worthwhile endeavors, the (semi)annual celebration of independent record store culture called Record Store Day started with an idea. Specifically, it started with a dashed-off email with a subject line reading, simply, “idea.” “It could be a national event that drives people to indie stores,” Chris Brown, of Portland, Maine-based indie retailer Bull Moose […]

Val Kilmer, Film Star Who Played Batman and Jim Morrison, Dies at 65

Val Kilmer, a homegrown Hollywood actor who tasted leading-man stardom as Jim Morrison and Batman, but whose protean gifts and elusive personality also made him a high-profile supporting player, died on Tuesday in Los Angeles. He was 65. The cause was pneumonia, said his daughter, Mercedes Kilmer. Mr. Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer in […]

The Jolly Leprechaun’s Sinister Origins

Cheerful, prank-loving leprechauns are beloved symbols of luck and prosperity in Ireland and for the millions of Americans with Irish roots. But centuries-old legends about the diminutive shoemaking creatures painted them differently, as mischievous and sometimes menacing tricksters. Irish folklore, rich with medieval accounts of dark fairies and goblins, portrayed the mythical humanoids—always described as […]

Growing Up in Las Vegas in the ’70s

“Circa 1977. This is Washington Blvd. looking West at Rainbow Blvd. The mound of dirt in the background is now the bridge that goes over the 95 Freeway (Rainbow Curve). Neither the freeway nor Rainbow Blvd. existed at the time. Tonopah Highway (Rancho Blvd.) was the road used to drive north. I caught a lot […]
