Thunder, Lightning and Blurry Memories

I've had Neil Diamond going through my head since watching American Idol the other night.  I've been so wiped out evenings this week that I was in the perfect state to watch something like American Idol.  It seemed appropriate timing as I read V'ron's post about Thunder and Song Sung Blue, the documentary about Thunder and Lightning, the couple that did a Neil Diamond tribute (as well as Abba and Patsy Cline---although all I remember from the blurry times I saw them was the Neil Diamond stuff).  I'd love to see that movie.  I must say that being in the dressing room at Metro with Thunder, Lightening, Jim Mayhercy and Ernie the night they played before Urge Overkill will go down as one of the most benignly bizarre moments of my life.

Drive-in Theaters

  • Getting ready for the evening...
    My friend Eileen says that the reason I've been so obsessed with drive-in movie theaters is because my parents never took me to one as a kid. She's probably right. She usually is. Reportedly my older sisters went to the drive-in but I have no memory of it. The first time I remember going to the drive-in theater was with Eileen and I think it was the summer before college. I remember eating dried apricots and some kind of warm pop while watching a bad movie with a Cheap Trick song on the soundtrack..... My friend Alice and I were in grad school together in the late 80's outside Detroit. We ended up photographing drive-in movie theaters throughout the midwest as well as brief trips to various other spots. We always said we were going to write a book but we never did. I just dug out the slides I have though and man, there were some great drive-ins!!! It's been twenty years so of course many of these are gone I'd love to hear from anyone if they have drive-in anecdotes or know if any of these are still around. I took some of the photos, Alice took some---I'll do the Lennon/McCartney things and just list us both on all of them. She can always switch the order of names after I die.
