Down Memory Lane
 Whe came home yesterday with a box filled with old black and white photographs, most of which we had developed ourselves, in the darkroom at college.
One of the funniest pics we found was from when we met and interviewed the presidents of The Monkees fan club, Rick Wharton and Tyrone Biljan. We tape recorded the interview and when we listened to it later that evening, we noticed that anytime Wharton wasn't the center of the conversation, he was either humming or loudly tapping on the edge of the table. What an ego this guy had.  So I wasn't too surprised when I was watching MuchMusic about 5 years ago and Whe pointed out the "Conspiracy Guy" as being none other than Wharton. He looked a little different (I hadn't seen him in 10 years) and was actually kinda funny playing that character. I guess I was happy for him as I'm pretty sure he'd always wanted to be a celebrity, although he was obviously only a "b" celebrity. He's even got his own website.
Lately, though, Wharton has been on these extremely annoying TV ads for nicorette gum, featured as the ex-smoker sitting in an office meeting, dying for a smoke. He looks bloated and old. When we first saw the ad together, Whe and I looked at each other, the same question in both our minds. Do we look that old? Nah. Wharton was at least 2 or 3 years older than us, at least I'm pretty sure...
