ABC Network - Monday Night Special - "Homosexuals: Out From The Shadows" (Bumper Promo, 1976)

Views: 1880

Here's a brief bumper promo for an ABC Monday Night Special - "Homosexuals: Out From The Shadows". What was this? Can't find any information on it whatsoever. Probably laughable by today's standards. It says "later tonight" - did it air after the news? Kind of a strange timeslot, no?

Voiceover by Scott Vincent.

Rolling Stone...The 10th Anniversary - "A Day In The Decade" (1977)

Views: 7066

Here's something that's pretty awful and bizarre, a segment from the Rolling Stone 10th Anniversary special - a Beatles tribute medley called "A Day in the Decade". It goes on for over 14 minutes, and mercifully perhaps the person recording it decided that was enough. (I think it was almost over anyway)

Local Trivia Note: This special was stereo simulcast (simulcasted?) in the Chicago area on WBBM-FM 96.3.

This aired on local Rockford, IL TV on Friday, November ...
