A youngster could go into the military and get an assignment in SE Asia and see them for free.

I saw Diana Ross there but it was in 1982. Saw her again this year at Endymion. She hasn’t changed a bit.

Not sure if it was the opening event, but I saw Johnny Cash at PMAC in the spring of 1972.

Fewer people know that Bob Hope was a serial philanderer and banged or tried to bang all the honeys he took on his USO tours.
