(16,073 posts)It's possible the acid was also laced with other chemicals. No one really knows, but it was giving people bad trips.
1. A reference to the Woodstock Festival in 1969, when stage announcements were made by legendary radio disc jockey Wavy Gravy, telling people that some of the brown-colored blotter acid (LSD) circulating the crowd was giving people negative hallucinations, causing freakouts.

(48,217 posts)and here are the ones you missed.
"You rang?"--Maynard G. Krebs (Bob Denver) on Dobie Gillis
Super Circus was an afternoon kids' program with Claude Kirchner as the ringmaster and Mary Harline as the trapeze artist. It literally featured circus acts.
Tom Terrific was a cartoon character, not a comic strip character, who had a dog named Manfred. His shtick was that he could shape shift--turn himself into anything to overcome the scheme of the villain, Crabby Appleton ("rotten to the core" .
"Fan mail from some flounder?" a line from Rocky the Flying Squirrel. Rocky and Bullwinkle find a message in a bottle, and that's what Bullwinkle asks. Actually, it's a lead-in to a commercial.
"Our Mr. Sun" was part of Conquest, a kid-oriented science program that played on Sunday afternoons. In the days before PBS, and before pro sports conquered the world, Sundays were the day for educational and cultural programs. Other episodes in the series were "Hemo the Magnificent" (about blood) and "The Strange Case of the Cosmic Rays" (about radioactivity). The series was sponsored by Bell Labs.

(23,322 posts)I was at a Scout meeting, and a boy (age 11 or so) needed to call his parents. The church basement had a rotary-dial(!) phone on the wall.

(48,217 posts)I used to volunteer at a non-profit radio station located on the grounds of a high school that had a broadcasting vocational program in which the students ran the station's AM service.
So one day, I'm sitting at the receptionist's desk, and one of the broadcasting teachers comes up to me and says, "Tyler needs to label some carts, so could you show him how to use the electric typewriter?"
So I show him how to turn it on, insert the label, and type.
"So what if I make a mistake?" he asks.
"You switch to the correction ribbon and backspace," I explain.

The guy with the curly hair was her second co-host, Bill Schechner, after Lloyd Dobyns. The show won awards and yet only lasted two years. Suits still seem to never have a clue even when they have quality shows on the air.
Here's Schechner:

I would watch that show with my law school friend Judith. I'm not sure when I had time to watch it between working full time at the courthouse and going to law school at night. Must have been in the summer of '81.
Great show. Linda has a very dry humor about her.

Here's one episode of Overnight from 1983. Sure, it's old news, but you get to see Ellerbee and Schechner deliver it:

(21,046 posts)Carmen Dragon's arrangement of America the Beautiful:
I was lucky enough to play first violin at Midwestern Music Camp (KU-Lawrence) under the fabulous Carmen Dragon, and of course we played his arrangement. It is really wonderful. The key changes, the instruments that have the ball change, and he really made it interesting. He was very approachable and friendly, and pretty famous in Hollywood. He conducted the Glendale Symphony Orchestra.
He was the conductor the first week of camp. It lasted five weeks. Every week we got a new conductor, in both orchestra and choir, and put on a concert on Saturday at the end of the week. One overture and two major works or long movements from a symphony. So that was 5 orchestra concerts and 5 choral concerts in 5 weeks.
Everyone was nervous, because we were afraid we wouldn't be good enough for the first conductor, and didn't know what to expect. There were high school kids there from a variety of states. We played the finale of Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony, which is a real barn burner and a difficult piece. Mr. Dragon had to reassure the timpanist to go ahead and beat hell out of the tympani. He said, "Son, the percussionist is one of the most virile men in the orchestra."
Carmen Dragon's son is Daryl Dragon of The Captain and Tennille for those of you that remember 70s pop.

Since that time, the event has occupied a grotesque but fringy place in American history. Jones's followers are imagined as wide-eyed innocents, swallowing his outrageous teachings along with his cyanide-laced Kool-Aid.

(23,322 posts)(You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
Whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.)
Remember the Pueblo. Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate. Know yourself. If you need help, call the FBI. Exercise caution in your daily affairs, especially with those persons closest to you... That lemon on your left, for instance. Be assured that a walk through the seas of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet. Fall not in love, therefore, it will stick to your face. Gracefully surrender the things of youth: the birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan - and let not the sands of time get in your lunch. Hire people with hooks. For a good time, call 606-4311, ask for Ken. Take heart in the deepening gloom that your dog is finally getting enough cheese. And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot, it could only be worse in Milwaukee.
Therefore, make peace with your god, whatever you perceive him to be: hairy thunderer or cosmic muffin. With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal, the world continues to deteriorate. GIVE UP!
