You don't remember these? Or maybe they were just "up noth" ... but they were a TV phenonemon. He made himself famous solely through these ads and sold a TON of records. It was even a joke skit w/Chevy Chase on SNL where he changed colors like a mood ring. I think he even sold out Radio City - he was the first one to become famous thru TV ads. Forget Slim Whitman and Boxcar Willie - Peter Lemongello started it all!
I remember '76(graduated high school)but I don't remember this dude!(and with a name like lemon jello!)must a been ,like you sai..a noth'n thang!..sounds good tho..I actually kinda like this tuff now..but back then..I be moider'd for admitting such a thing..
All of the inmates here at Celluloid Slammer are incarcerated for the same crime - love of movies! The good, bad, ugly - we don't use such mundane terminology.
Many of us honed our skills in working in video stores, and others have chosen - beyond all advice to the contrary - to work in "the biz" exposed by such hard-hitting exposes like "The Oscar" and "The Loved One."
Then there are those of us who grew up only to be disappointed that life didn't have parties like "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls," or took LSD only to find that it wasn't like Mimsy Farmer portrayed.
In any case, we all ended up here - the Slammer!
Hell, it cuts down on innumerable cc'd "Have you ever seen THIS?"emails to LA, Boston, NY, Wales, Montreal, North Carolina, Virginia - the Slammer's inmates aren't bothered by pesky maps. Or reality. Check yourself in!
