I just saw an advertisement for a festival where a band called Eddie From Ohio will be playing. I looked at the band's picture and thought, "Man, where do they get off? I bet they don't have a damned thing to do with fIREHOSE's EdFROMOHIO." As it turns out, however, they sort of do. Well, not really, but he is the basis for their name.

That reminds me of the time when I was eight years old and I watched the Angie Dickinson flick Dressed to Kill on television because I thought it was going to have something to do with KISS. I was so pissed when I got to the end of that movie and hadn't seen the briefest glimpse of Ace Frehley.

Speaking of embarassing incidents involving movies and '70s pop sensations, I once made my mom take me to the movie theater to see the newly released PG version of Saturday Night Fever only to find out that it wasn't playing there yet. Bitterly disappointed and utterly confused, I explained to Mom that the television commercial had clearly stated that the movie was "now playing at a theater near you."

I swear, I don't know how I got through the third grade without overdosing on paste or something. Damn, I was thick.
