I was born in the Bronx NY, but I lived, and still live in Lawton, Michigan. For 50 years.



Here's the same street about 100 years ago. The population was bigger than then it is now.



We're down to 1,500 people. And it keeps getting lower.
This is turning into a ghost town.

A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

I was born in Greenville, TX and have lived within 50 miles of my birthplace my entire life, except for my 4 years in the Navy.
It's not a bad place, really.

I was accidentally born in Kentucky on Christmas Eve, because I came a week early and very, very fast, so if your hometown is where you're born, I guess I'm connected to a river city called Covington.

Born and somewhat raised in Darby, PA, just outside of South Philly.  Notably, W.C. Fields was associated with the town back in the day, as was Jeff LaBar from rock band Cinderella and Monica Horan who played Ray Romano's sister in law on Everybody Loves Raymond.

I consider Lawton my home, but I lived in the Bronx in 1979-1981.  I was born there.
Even though the Bronx was f**ked up as a can of worms, I enjoyed the total anarchy. Nobody ever f**ked with me. I was a 5'2" long hair hippie looking kid. I bought pot. I sat in Poe Park (look it up) and got drunk as 3 motherf**kers. Nobody care what anyone did. Mostly the cops. They never did s**t. I didn't care. I had no need for f**king cops. It really was a war zone. There was still burned out rubble from the 1977 Bronx riots.
And the music was fantastic.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
