Relax, Marek.........don't you know that 70 is "the new 50"

Have you evah heard Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds"?

As you might know it went out over the air on Hallowe'en Eve 1938.

The following day, after he had alarmed a considerable part of our country,
especially New Jersey where the action took place, he claimed in a press
conference that it had not been his intention to create mass hysteria.

I have a CD of it and let me assure you, that was EXACTLY his intention,
which is why people still talk about it today.
