When I was growing up, there were three VHS tapes that were very important to me. These were tapes that my family owned. Because I was so intimately familiar with them, my pre-adolescent brain assumed everyone else knew about them as well and watched them all constantly. The first tape was Top Gun. You ve heard of that one. The second and third tapes, though. Oh, man. It s so weird I thought everyone knew about them.
The second tape was a movie staring George Burns and Charlie Schlatter called 18 Again. In this movie, Jack (George Burns) makes a wish on his 81st birthday that he was 18 again. Then he gets into a car accident with his 18 year old grandson, David (Charlie Schlatter) and switches bodies with him. Then Jack totally has to dance and sing a song about slutty girls for Red Buttons to prove he is actually Jack.
Awesome! But that s not really the thing I want to talk to you about. What I really want to talk to you about is the third video, a video called Catskills on Broadway.
