By joexoth The evening’s action quickly moved to the Playboy Club, where Bruce’s boorish boss celebrated Bruce’s success trading Standard Oil on the commodities exchange (sothat’s what he does…). Luckily Tom has a key, so he, Trina and Susan can get into the club, where — as The Emotions’s “Best o...

By joexoth Norman Greenbaum’s “Spirit in the Sky” helped viewers get into the Spirit of ‘76 … 1976, to be exact. SWINGTOWN did a pretty good job of transporting me to the “Me Decade” — complete with authentic-looking bad hair and even worse clothes, as well as period cars, soda cans and supermarket pri...
