RAMBLINGS...

A couple of interesting things happening in the next few days.

It seems that according to the widow of George Romero, his "lost" film entitled "The Amusement Park" is finally ready for distribution and hopefully we will all get to see it either at theaters or on Blu-ray.

It stars Lincoln Mazaal as an elderly man who becomes increasingly disoriented and isolated in an amusement park due to the pains, tragedies and humiliations of growing older.

I really want to see this film because it's not only a Romero film, but it's a strong commentary on what it's like to grow old in America, and let's face it, if you're over 50 in this country you are generally dis-liked and ignored and I deal with it every day. I'll keep my eye on this and let you know when it hits the big screen, if it does.

This coming Saturday, July 4th, 2020 is the 50th anniversary of American Top 40 with Casey Kasem. The show was great during the 70's and 80's when Kasem hosted it and it was a major part of my life. It's hard to believe that it's been 50 years since the first broadcast!! I know I'll be listening to the very first broadcast sometime this weekend.
