Golden Earring – Twilight Zone
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

You may be running Radar Love, but When the Bullet Hits the Bone, you are in The Twilight Zone.
Blair Ivey:
i ran radar love for the eight years after i met the girl who would become my first wife, and again for last 35 years after i met the woman who would become my third wife, but i’ve never had the bullet hit the bone, although it was a close run thing when i was divorcing my second wife and i was in the twilight zone.
This song always makes me think of coast to coast AM
I don’t get it.
I was working then, attempting to raise a family and feed them.
As far as bullet/bone stuff,.
I left that behind, or tried, with my ’72 discharge.
This is the first video that has ever given me the feeling of sea sickness.
I think it could have been some form of early image stabilization. I noticed the effect only happened when the human head was stable and the rest of the frame moved around or jiggled.
I have just never seen that specific effect in any other video.
pzatchok-
ya’ know…. I never noticed that (what you describe) until you pointed it out.
Steadicams & related tech were definitely a thing in 1984. (introduced in ’75)
Looks to be a mixture of intentional effects and probably some artifacts of film->video->mp4.
Let me watch it again… (and, as noted way down in the comments, “When I listen to Twilight Zone, so do my neighbors…”

Not sure I buy that one
Jeff–
The brain-wave visualizer folks, as always trust-but-verify. Not my specialty but what i do know is you can make the colors do anything you want them to.
(Reminds me of the false color pictures from the JWST.)
The “Big 5 personality traits,” is an actual thing and it’s fairly valid.
Personally however, I have a big problem with applying it to people who are no longer with us.
Apparently, (almost) the whole ‘Back Home Concert’ at the Groenoordhallen in Leiden, June 23rd 1984, is available at Youtube, but it’s chopped into individual songs and similar quality to above.
