Thanks for posting this. Elicited both tears and head-nodding pride: "Sssright Mickey Fickeys. Supes are Wooooooorrrld Champs -

So sad that this was our only one and that it was soooo long ago.

I lived in T-town, but we were on a family vacation in D.C. when this went down. I wore my "Sonic Boom" shirt the next day and I was
the KING OF D.C. until some dick shot his milkshake at me through a straw. That was not cool, and all my mom said was, "I told you wearing that shirt would be provocative in this city".

Love the trippy Pink Floyd begining to this. CBS was cutting edge man.
