before you get upset with my lack of respect for the dead, Frank Avruch (a neighbor of mine when I was a kid) the original Boston TV Bozo the Clown has passed on to the Big Top in the sky.

Not sure, but seem to recall his was the original Bozo tv show.

I remember watching Bozo in the early 70's was a different actor but as they say, The world's most famous clown for sure. Good memories as a kid.

He was 89.

Just 11 years from having Willard Scott announce his birthday...

It's not all that much more than 11 years before Willard Scott gets to announce his own 100th b-day, is it?

probably was in KFM...the original Groove Tube was a TV experience, and I believe much of it was used in or at least inspired several skits of the movie a couple of years later. In Boston, The Groove Tube played in a storefront makeshift "livingroom" on Brighton Ave near B.U...IIRC.

Viewers entered a carpeted room with pillows all over the floor, a fridge filled with sodas, and a television set.

Someone entered the room after we were all situated on the floor, turned on the tv and shut off the lights.

first thing I recall was an official warning that stated "violators will be persecuted".

and then the parodies/funny commercials etc began. But it was not a real movie theater...I'm stalling trying to remember the name of the place we watched it.

I'll be back.
