Mine too, we Boomers had lots of great music of every kind. Pop, Rock, country, blues.

You're not familiar with Alice Cooper? He is sort of a shock rock jock from the '60s who dwells on death and the macabre, they kind of parallel-appeared around the same time as bands like Black Sabbath.

This was standard fare music growing up. I remember in the '60s my nextdoor buddy calling me up one day to come over to hear his two new albums. Frankly, his parents were strict Catholics who probably beat him for owning them then broke the albums and threw the phonograph away.

One was Black Sabbath and the other was Alice Cooper. I asked my buddy: "Who is she?" I still have two of Cooper's albums though I never saw him live, they still play well (musically and otherwise), the first was called 'Love It To Death," and the other album was called 'Killer' on which Dead Babies is a hit.

This is the stuff that was a hit on the radio in the early '70s.

I'm familiar with Alice Cooper just not whatever that was.

That was a big, top ten radio hit in 1971. Ah, the Good Ol' Days.

Oh yeah, seriously, I've been kidding around as of late, kind of bored really, and I'm not a real fan of the horror movie genre, so, when I actually /recommend/ a horror movie, you should go whole out and invest in it, maybe get the DVD or whatever.

The first time I ever caught Evil Dead II on TV was probably on some pay channel one night and I turned the thing on and I don't want to spoil anything about the movie, but Bruce was fighting off the goulies or zombies or whatever they were, with a lawnmower, and I started laughing seeing the humor in it all, the intended comedy.

I mean, the stuff is fake enough that there is no pretense in it really looking real and continually overdone to absurdity, but close enough that you can kinda squirm a little bit but, Campbell really sells the humor in it all with his expressions. It is almost a pun poking fun at other horror movies in general but not in a silly way.

BTW, I saw Evil Dead as well, but it just did not impress me like Evil Dead II did.

FWIW, the 1982 John Carpenter 'The Thing' w/ Kurt Russel is right up there in the horror genre as well. Then there is "the movie" that I will not mention and will not (or have not) watched a second time because it was the only movie that ever got to me that was just so bad that no matter how much I told myself "Toob, it's just a movie," I sweated like a pig, grit my teeth, and absolutely begged for it to be over.
