It's fitting to have the plug for THE LAST PICTURE SHOW in the Thirty sheet. While it was the movie that brought Peter Bogdanovich to the forefront, it was in fact his second release. His first film, TARGETS, came out in 1968...and includes the voice of the Real Don Steele, heard on a car radio in one scene.
(along with the voice of Regis Philbin, in a clip from Joey Bishop's talk show--Reege was his announcer/sidekick)
"Desiderata" is SO early '70s. The National Lampoon satire "Deteriorata" was played by Dr. Demento a lot and is spot-on. Les Crane died earlier this year, by the way.
Amusing to see "George Jackson" as a Hitbound. It never made the chart, and I can't remember what KHJ did with the line "He didn't take shit from no one."
Steve:
I believe the entire line was deleted.
