SinceThe70s

I think the point is just that (at least on Long island) - the beach parking lots were closed to everyone for all after-hours activities. I know there are beaches out by Montauk where the after hours scene is bonfires and drinking. Saw it once years ago when I was out there with my toddlers. Looked like a great time. But not something the state parks would want any part of. My guess is there was a "star-gazer" contingent who were either getting around parking lot barriers or parking on the feeder roads but ultimately causing no issues. Monetizing this access to either get some revenue or fund parking attendants and/or security wouldn't bother me if that's what's going on.

For the state parks on Long Island it looks like this applies to a few beach parking lots that are typically closed at night. The stargazing stipulation is probably intended to keep people from swimming, fishing, bbq'ing, bonfires on the beach, etc... after hours.

So I walked out that lonely truck stop With my head hanging down Wondering how in the hell I got myself into this mess And more importantly How I was gonna get myself out of it So I wrote a song for you, baby girl And I hope when I return home The locks ain’t changed on the doors And there’s still a spot for me On that big ol’ California king sized bed

So you're saying it's Cal Ripken Jr? Shortstops and Black Sabbath. An unlikely combination.

But (if it's him) he did sing The Wizard.

Give me little drink From your loving cup Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk

Ozzy?

He said "Now I'm on a rollWith all the girls I know"I know you want to Hit ThatI know you want to Hit That, Hit That

Outside my window I can hear the radio And I know that motor wagon is ready to fly 'Cause it's almost Saturday night

One of these days They're gonna fall into their brew And they'll know exactly what they did to you Darling I just want you to know Your tears won't leave a trace In another time girl In another time girl In another place

Stay! Go! Work! No! Think! Live! Earn! Give! Wait! Fight! Laugh! Right! Listen…

I used to wake up in the morning I used to feel so bad I got so sick of having sleepless nights I went and told my dad He said, son now here's some little something And stuck them on my wall And now my nights ain't quite so lonely In fact I, I don't feel bad at all I don't feel so bad at all Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful

So the world is spinning faster are you dizzy when you're stoned

Don't understand that girl, I can't explain She got one foot on the platform, and the other on the train

Tiny bubbles In the wine Make me happy Make me feel fine

I wish I was in Tijuana Eating barbecued iguana

Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway Cars passin' by But none of them seem to be goin' my way New york city Well, I wish I was on a highway Back to Olympia

So you children of the world Listen to what I say If you want a better place to live in Spread the words today Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave Or you children of today are children of the grave, yeah

January came. for April you have stayed June I was in heaven July was just the same September rolled around October wore a frown. By Christmas we were through

Help, I'm a rock

I'm no expert here and that act from 1961 may be a thing of the past, but I don't think the late season and playoff Saturdays overlap with college or high school.

Thanks to an Off The Wall thread on Buck Henry's recent passing, I plan on watching Heaven Can Wait with the fam . Hope it stands the test of time, haven't seen it in decades. Includes a Rams storyline when they were in L.A.. Oh yeah, their back. Anyone remember Lawrence McCutcheon? I could care less about the NHL All Star game or the Pro Bowl, but either or both could easily supplant Heaven Can Wait if the boys say so.
