I mean come on! I played the damn 45 to death when I was a kid! I can still see the cover - them all dressed in their trademark tartan. Fun poll!

12. Yes they "were" but . . . |
|
I saw them on some update documentary (I was on a plane going to Europe and there wasn't much else on :-) ) and the cute blonde one (forget his name) well, he's completely bald now. Not that bald men aren't cute, but it was a rather shocking change, not having seen them since back in the day.

13. A book you'll find on the remainder rack |
|
"Bye Bye Baby, My Tragic Love Affair with the Bay City Rollers" by Caroline Sullivan. In the late 1970s, a kid from Joisey who was captured by the Rollers' hard-to-define charms. She and her buddies styled themselves the Tacky Tartan Tarts and shadowed the Rollers from their heyday to the inevitable end, playing county fairs.
Funny, poignant, sad and an incredible memoir of a time in my life probably best left forgotten. I'm the exact same age as the author and identified with many of the things she was going through in small town New Jersey. It's just that I was a boy in small town Oregon without access to the high-powered center of western culture that is (or was) New York.
I got my copy for three bucks, but I saw it last weekend going for a dollar a throw. If I were Joe Bob, I'd say, "Check it out."
