When I was a kid, I had one of those record players that you could carry around….and I had a stash of 45’s…the whole Sesame Street collection. I can’t believe it’s been 40 years. There’s not much out there that is still going strong after 40 years. Maybe my husband. But other than that, you’d be hard pressed to find anything.
Here’s my theory. Their stamina lies in their refusal to change. For the most part, Sesame Street is the same as it was when I was a kid. Minus the bell bottoms. Nowadays, children’s programming feels the need to change every six hours to stay competitive. I wonder if anyone ever stood up in a Sesame Street board meeting and suggested that Oscar start taking anti-depressants and Big Bird come on out of the closet?
So here’s to forty years….hope I look this good when I hit the big FO-OH. Here’s my fave 45 of 1974….”C is for Cookie”.
