Golden Earring – Twilight Zone
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
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.
