We give you the Mike Curb Congregation and 1972 in all its glory:
Burning Bridges is of course the Kelly's Heroes song. Tankers we know love that movie for Donald Southerland's anachronistic hippie portrayal of Oddball. Reader(s) should feel free to quote their favorite lines in the comments. Kelly's Heroes is almost as quotable as Caddy Shack.Born in 1973, by 1978 we were aware of the world around us. We remember seeing a lot of stuff that looked like this on TV, like the infamous Buy the World a Coke commercial. They must have run that thing 'till 1980.
Looking at 70's era art, one gets the sense that they never thought it'd get dated. This is the future and the future is now. Our mother had several of those long sleeved and sleeveless shirts. And if you're our age, somewhere lie pictures of you with a bowl haircut and a rugby shirt. Still, there's something fascinating about this performance and it's hard to put one's finger on it.
The kids are totally creepy, though. It was the 70's, man.
C'mon, this is a fun song.
