Listen Up, Youngsters, II

Long before Micheal Bay was blowing everything up in computer graphics, Edwin S. Porter was making movies the old-fashioned way. Actually, when he made The Great Train Robbery, there was no old-fashioned way as Porter made the first movie. Ever. Silent. Short. Real people. Real trains.

Listen Up, Youngsters

Back before the world rotated too fast, the Dave Clark Five were musical co-conspirators with a couple of other groups you may have heard of: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Who. In fact, the Dave Clark Five pushed the Beatles' I Want to Hold Your Hand off the top of the charts with their Glad All Over in 196kabbible. Their other big hits were:
  • Because
  • Catch Us If You Can, (a very snappy tune)
  • Bits and Pieces
  • Over and Over
  • Anyway You Want It

In other words, they were incredibly popular. And broke up in 1970. Dave Clark, by the way, is the drummer.
