Don't Forget the Flamin' Groovies
The Flamin Groovies released their third album, Teenage Head, back in 1971 to much critical praise. However, because the group was known only tentatively in the Midwest and San Fransisco (where they originated about 1968), the record won little popularity and no airplay.

Golden Age of Superhero Movies 1938 - 1988
There are more than the few and the proud as the genre is born with a KA-POW! Adam West's Batman's warm smile and the soaring theme of Christopher Reeve's Superman followed by a barrage of sequels were part of the birth of The Golden Age of Superhero Movies from 1938 to 1988.

The Wild Man of the Navidad
As one may imagine, a state as wild and riddled with outlaws as Texas has given birth to more than a few twisted tales of the strange. Miles and miles of sparsely populated plains covered in the gnarled corpses of thorn covered mesquite, prickly pear cactus and dry gray tumbleweed has lent itself well to the cultivation of myths and legends born of superstition and moonshine. No matter how we attempt to civilize the massive state, its restless spirits simply will not be tamed and the rough, iron-willed people who inhabit its small towns have become the story-keepers, passing down the terrifying myths from one generation to the next. Some stories are simply wives tales, old yarns spun to keep the children close to home and the men from getting too rowdy on a Saturday night before Sunday mass arrives. But others hold far more credibility, with eyewitness accounts and chilling documentation that would make a believer out of the most stalwart skeptics.

Why the M*A*S*H Series Finale is Still The Greatest Of All Time
There's nothing more hotly contested than a series finale. After investing years into a show, people are hoping to get the ultimate payoff. Some series finales fall short (check out my article on that here) and some rise up and actually elevate the series. While shows like Six Feet Under, The Shield and Breaking Bad have had incredible finales, nothing holds a candle to how M*A*S*H ended. When the 2 and a half hour series finale aired, it was the most watched episode in television history. There are many reasons it is the greatest series finale in history. “Goodbye, Farewell and Amen” encompassed what everyone loved about M*A*S*H. It had some very funny moments but also had one of the saddest moments in the show's history.
