Oh man I loved that first Phil Seymour album. A couple of amazingly bad videos....particularly Let Her Dance but good to hear...especially on a summer day....

How come I don't know this yet it reminds me of my teenage years?
I think teen sensation Drake Bell is this decade's reincarnation of Phil Seymour.
Despite the fact that Phil Seymour is a pop treasure, the "Let Her Dance" video should be studied for its sociological implications alone. I ask you . . . where else can you find, in one place, the world's four worst dancers strutting their stuff with reckless abandon?
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.
