Groovy Graveyard

Rolling Stones and Red Skelton

2009-05-29T15:36:00.000-07:00

Yes, It actually happened.
In an effort to reach a younger audience (he already had the 70+ crowd nailed)
Red Skelton had his musty carcass shipped off to London to see what all this rock'n'roll fuss was about.
He catches the Stones live (sort of) and delivers some comic gems about their long hair.
I guess he thought the screaming teens would drown out his creaking bones.

Anyway, you can catch all of this and more in "Ultimate Stones TV";
A treasure trove of vintage Stones including their first US appearance.

The other Groovie Ghoulies

2009-05-05T18:40:00.000-07:00

This great pop-powered punk outfit from Sacramento was all the rage in the 80's and 90's.

They were a mainstay of the "Warped" tour and always kept the crowds jumping with their monsterized form of punk. They finally gave up the ghost in 2007.
The loss is truly ours.

They left behind a legacy of indy hits such as "Tunnel Of Love", "Chupacabra", and "Running With Bigfoot".
Check them out!

This wacky spin-off of "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch" featured parodies of Universal monster favorites in a "Laugh-In" type format; lot's of quick comedy bits and a musical number or two. I swear it was funny when I was little.

How I long for the days of these wonderful and yet horribly unsafe toys.
If I recall correctly, this one had an exposed heating element and a metal mold that got red hot! Ah, that takes me back! Enjoy!
