I Don't Care About History

The classic Roger Corman film Rock & Roll High School starring a scrappy little band out of Forest Hills, Queens, came out on this day in 1979.

"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), “didn't you have a fantastic line about this movie back in 2015?"

Sigh. Yes I did, faithful readers, YES I did:

Who took longer to show up onscreen in their own movie, The Ramones in Rock 'n Roll High School (almost 38 minutes in) or the shark in Jaws?

SUPER-RARE XMASTIME BONUS LINK: here's what I wrote in 2008 about trying to see the movie for the first time back in the 1980s 🤣
