(Editor’s note: Columns often contain opinion which belong to the author.)Where you’re going, you’re going to need roads – roads that lead to the Miller Theater on Sunday, June 8, that is. And what you’ll be seeing will not be the second “Back to the Future” with a bunch of flying cars that do not require roads but the original film which gives a few glimpses into the sequel.

(Columns contain opinion and those opinions are of the author)Ladies in curlers, chain smoking and drinking Tab under metallic and plastic hairdryers, became a part of my earliest memories. In fact, for a number of years, my mother owned a beauty shop in our front yard called Baxley’s Beauty Boutique in Barnwell, South Carolina. The shop was not huge and, before being remodeled, was once a one-bedroom and one-bath mini-bungalow.

(Columns often contain opinions of the author.)Wayne’s World! Wayne’s World!-Only I did not have much party time, but my life was excellent. I was quite sheltered and did not know who Queen, a decades-old, classic band whose music was featured in the “Wayne’s World” film, was at the time it came out. A sister five years my senior usually introduced me to contemporary music but somehow missed that one. I was a young teen when the “Wayne’s World” film came out.

(Columns contain opinion and those opinions are of the author)I was a broad-shouldered, long-haired (somewhat sensitive) beast myself in 1991. When “Beauty and the Beast” came out that year, I was a junior at Barnwell High School (not to sound too much like the 90s character Forrest Gump, but that is in the town of Barnwell and in the county of Barnwell; small towns will figure into this later).

(Editor’s note: Columns often contain opinions; those opinions belong to the author.)Many of us oddballs are still in love with The Muppets. We have that heart-pumping nostalgia for them that goes straight to the late seventies and early 80s. We love them just about as much as Gonzo loves Camilla or Miss Piggy loves Kermit.  Therefore, it is fitting that The Miller Theater will be playing “The Muppet Movie” Valentine’s weekend. The free flick will start at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb.
