Songs on the radio (mostly WLS and WCFL in Chicago) and in your record collection (that's right, vinyl albums and even 45s perhaps) on September 6, 1970. That would be fifty years ago.
I was a sophomore at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb and having a mighty good time as the original frat rat with that old fraternity of mine, Delta Sigma Phi. We were more like the Deltas at "Animal House" and even had a guy who had been at college for seven years and was a sophomore named Czych. Until the end, the movie could have been about us, but there was no parade scene. I do, however, wish we had known about toga parties. We definitely would have had to have one.
