When the four of them drop acid and go to the graveyard is a classic in bad movie making. lol.

Dennis Hopper and Phil Spector in the same movie, that's a whole lot of crazy, especially with Hopper directing.

I used to like to pick Toni Basil and Terri Garr out of the background dancers in all those bad surf movies of the mid-60's when WTBS, WGN, etc... would run them years later. They were both in their teens when they did those. When I saw the "Mickey" video in '81/'82, I was stunned she could out dance those young cheerleaders and looked better doing it pushing forty.

If  the criteria is CUTE and it is 1981, the year MTV started, the correct answer is C) Martha Quinn  ;)

Ex-Met Lenny Dykstra hitting on Martha Quinn (53 seconds into clip) in 1986

Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper released their classic, "Stuffin' Martha's Muffin" about that time. I won't post a link as there might be children who frequent this board. Mojo gets pretty graphic about what he wants to do to Martha and MTV.

It worked as far as getting MTV to notice the Dynamic Duo. A year later "Elvis Is Everywhere" premiered on MTV's "120 Minutes" and Mojo's wedding, (not to Martha Quinn), was carried live on MTV from a go-kart track. The product of that love match, young Rafe Cannonball Nixon, would be in his thirties, now.

However, if it is 1977 and Cute, the correct answer is D) Linda Rondstat as a Cub Scout:

I prefer in her Stone Poney's mini-dress and cut-off days. Didn't her folks own a well known furniture store in Tuscon?

      Oh, Belinda Carlisle, when it comes to the cute category. But ya know why you could never have sex with her, or the other Go Gos, don't ya? There Lips Are Sealed!      (So, do I hear a drum beat, or crickets?) I know, 35 year old joke, but it may surprise y'all on how many folks haven't heard it.

exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”

John, if there had been cam phones in those days, we'd all be locked up somewhere for something. It all constitutes evidence. Same with the damned security cameras everywhere. It must suck to be a teenager these days.

I remember a buddy pulling out something in a bright pink rolling paper and us walking down a back street passing it. The cops come out of the alley, point, laugh at us, and drive away. If they saw you doing it now it would be a big hassle and off to jail you'd go. Then it was "Look at those two dumbass kids passin' that pink joint around back here skippin' school. Let's go get somethin' to eat." We weren't worth the hassle.
