Paranoid was the first Black Sabbath album I ever bought. Back in the dark rainy month of March 1971 it had already been on the racks for some months. I believe it may well have been the band's best album because there was so much variety in song styles and subject matter. Of course the song that was frequently played at that time was the title track, "Paranoid" .. one of my favorite early metal songs with a fantastic lead guitar solo unlike any I had ever heard at that time. I never knew then that the song had been released as a single in 1970, but it had, apparently in August 1970, one month before the album was released. It reached #4 on the UK Singles Chart but only made it to #61 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #79 on the Cash Box Top 100 on December 26, 1970. Years later, this song still rules as does the album. Also from the Darkside, the lovely Raphaella McNamara.

These days, beachgoers give nary a thought when stripping down to their skimpy bikinis and short-shorts, but 70 years ago wearing much more modest swimsuits was enough to get you a ticket from the NYPD.
These “indecent exposure” pictures below were taken by LIFE photographer Sam Shere at Rockaway Beach in 1946. Starting with a sign that reads “wear robes to and from the beach,” Shere’s series shows women sunbathing in high-wasted two-pieces, men walking the boardwalk in just their shorts, and the way in which these beach bums seem unphased by the cops writing them summonses.

The photos used are from many talented photographers, the pictures of girls were just a representation of the "old lover" by random, not the real "old lover". I have made the most efforts to portrait the imagery beauty and feelings of Dan's writing through the video, hope you enjoy it! As the true story was happening in a local convenience-store in Abington Hill, Peoria, Illinois, the beautiful skyline at night of the City of Peoria Illinois were used at the end to close the video in a harmonic Christmas Eve, many thanks to Jill for her heart felt comments on Dan after his unfortunate passing, indeed, it's all we feel deep in our hearts, even so many years after, Dan's memory still alive and his music will forever stays with us, we miss you Dan......
