No doubt you have heard of the “Nashville Christmas Bomber” no matter where you live.
In the United States, it has dominated the news cycle for the last couple of days. Fortunately, as far as I can tell, it doesn’t seem to be related to anything else and there have been no other incidents. Apparently there were only three injuries from the blast and at least as of the time I’m writing this, the suspect appears to have taken his own life.
However one item of “interest” reported this morning, was that the van containing the explosives started playing the song “Downtown” before it blew up. A #1 hit from the 60’s, I thought at first it was sung by “Lulu.”
Turns out it was Petula Clark.
Searching for Lulu however, I found “To Sir With Love” which also starred Judy Geeson.
Have never seen this movie. I knew it was from the 60’s (1967) and starred Sidney Poitier (as a Mechanical Engineer who takes a part-time teaching job in a “rough” London school to make ends meet).
Sounds more like a job for “Dr. Andy.”
According to Wikipedia, Mark Thackeray (Sidney Poitier’s character) calls out the students for their “slutty behavior.”
Dr. Andy on the other hand tends to
encourage slutty behavior...
Judy in these pictures looks like a “Future Wife” to me.
Was trying to think of something I have seen her in. “Brannigan” starring John Wayne and the PBS series “Danger UXB” come to mind.
Both of them together in class? Ask me if I love my work?
“I think he likes me!”
Lulu from 1968. The 60’s are definitely my favorite decade.
“Dr. Andy? Can you help me with my homework?”
So I guess it’s a date then? She’s saying: “Andy, I’m driving. You always drive on the wrong side of the road!”
I posted this picture somewhere else on TLB. Had to be many years before I was born, but looks like a “young Dr. Andy” checking her out...
Little guy, that’s what life's all about. Yes. Everything. You will never be the same after this...
(Moderators: Both Lulu and Judy were born in 1948. So they would have been 18 or 19 when the movie was made.)
