If you live in Ioway and are a proud Iowan, you must watch "The Music Man"....the play/movie touches upon everything important to a native son. It is full of Iowa Values. And you wont realize until a few days afterwards how hard you laffed at these "values" when they were displayed in the movie/play. Meredith Willson knocked this one out of the park.

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

To Live and Die in LA

Honorable mention to Looker - Loved me some Susan Dey
