I passed the old Drive-In, the one we used to go to when I was a kid, that time we saw ‘Giant’, for instance, on the giant tilted screen, and I wanted to be cool and edgy as James Dean, and how after the movie when we were driving home around midnight, we heard on he radio that a plane had just fallen from the sky during a snowstorm over a corn field in Iowa and a chill filled our car the day the music died.
which movie star did you want to be like when you were a kid?
did you watch movies at drive-ins with your folks? do you remember any particular film?
what were you doing when you heard about the deaths of Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Richie Valens?
John Malone 
I didn’t go with my folks, but with friends. A lot of distractions in the car. I can’t remember the movies I saw.

Lol. Yes I had similar problems when I borrowed dad’s car when I was older and took my girl friend along; the drive-ins were on their last legs then 🙂

I wanted to be like Hayley Mills. We went to the drive-in quite often, but my clearest memory is from the first time I went without an “adult,” since my neighbor and friend had just gotten her driver’s license. The movie was “Psycho” and I certainly regretted being out there in the dark!

oh yes, Psycho is such a hard film to forget; even now it is mesmerising.I remember my sister liking Hayley Mills. Her dad was quite a renowned actor though getting on when I got into movies
