OH, Lynda Carter was my favorite fantasy & poster in 1977. I had this HUGE poster of her as Wonder Woman… like 4×5 feet… took up a whole wall practically. It was the conversation piece of my apartment for a while. That and Farrah’s poster. Ah, to be young again…
1977 saw the release of TWO Ramones albums, but today’s title comes from their 1978 release “Road to Ruins”. I was not that into the Ramones back then, but was aware of them for sure. But, a couple of my favs today are “Teenage Lobotomy” and “Do You Remember Rock and Roll Radio”. And do I remember Rock Radio. Nothing like it today for sure.
If you didn’t remember, there was a comic posted yesterday, so back up and check it out if you missed it! Sunday to Thursdays now with a larger comic on Sundays. Rock.

But why did she always wear her vest tucked into her knickers?
😉
Personally I had a thing for Barbarella (Jane Fonda) but didn’t have a 4′ x 5′ poster of her! Wish I had now!” LOL
I did see the Ramones in concert, and it was one of the funniest concerts I’ve been too. Of course we were a bit stoned when we went in, and they were obviously “hyped up” as every song seemed to last opnly 30 seconds but was performed at break neck speed, so that there was a wall of sound thrashed guitar and vocals for 30 seconds, and very short break of a seconds silence, then the next 30 seconds wall of sound. It was very funny, but I guess you had to be there. It seemed to me that they went through their whole repertoire in about 30 minutes! LOL
And the only song I remember recognising was “Sheena”!
Those were the days.
Ah, nostalgia isn’t what it used to be!

The Ramones is one of my biggest regret of all time. I’m a huge Ramones fan (I even have a Ramones Clock at home).
A while back, they were coming in Montreal for the Lollapalooza tour (I think). Back then I was broke and told myself, bah! They are coming every year in Montreal, I’ll go next time they come alone.
They retired not long after and we all no the sad stories that came after. Sigh!
My previous point was: I never saw them in concert…
Jane Fonda was/is hot. But Raquel Welch is my all time favorite. She’s still hot.
LOL re: the Ramones concert. Sounds like they were on overdrive, or something, and it sounded good to THEM. Yes, those were the days indeed…
🙂
love this Ramones song
Man, I had such a Wonder Woman fetish when I was little. Still do, I think. Nice!
I LOVED The Ramones. Saw them several times before 3/4ths of the band died, including a gig on their farewell tour, which ranks as one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended.
Funny you should “do” Wonder Woman right now. My friend Steve Bunche just featured a few posts about Carter, Wonder Woman and the ’70s on his classic “Vault of Buncheness”blog. Check ’em out:

I was too little to remember most of what you guys do the first time around, but I do remember Saturday reruns of Wonder Woman. What a wonderful memory. Also I regret that the first time I ever heard this song was when I played Guitar Hero and it was the first song I completed on all the levels, lol.
Okay, a quick question: Do you folks think that’s Lorraine dressed up as Wonder Woman, or Wonder Woman herself appearing as a hallucination?
I’z gots to know…
😀
byron! who’s your pick for richmond?!?!?!??!
I have to say I thought that was Bud hallucinating Lorraine “dressing up to play”!
I know I would!
LOL
Bob
Does not look like Lorraine to me.
(Also a BIG fan of Lynda Carter’s. I still watch those old Wonder Woman eps today, though they are a LOT funnier now.)
Love the bodysuit and the boots but due to breast envy Cathy Lee Cosby was a better wonder woman than Lynda Carter. None the less cool picture better if Buddet was dressed as wonder woman make Lynda Carter blood boil mohahahahaha.
