Somebody should let Phil Gramm, former senator and now economic advisor to John McCain, know that there’s nothing psychological about the cost of energy. There are many people in the northeast who simply will not be able to pay their heating bills, and they need to do their whining now, before they freeze in their own homes. And today the price of a barrel of crude oil has set yet another record.
Raybert Productions was Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider, who gave us the Monkees TV show and, later, the movie Easy Rider. Nearly a year ago I posted a clip from the Monkees’ movie Head, featuring Toni Basil. Toni was also in Easy Rider.
The Monkees were smack-dab center stage for my age group. I’d post more about them, but I’m leaving the field open for D.F. Rogers, should he ever decide to do a Monkees Web site or blog.
Great acting job...
