Thanks to bacchanal for hosting.

This is a surprise! I didn't have any ideas and was about to pass on this installment, but noticed Ethel potential and cooked up an entry. Apologies to spike for infringement.

Nice clips. The snow cave was informative. I didn't know of the film. Enjoy Dylan of course. Bill Murray is hit or miss IMO but that looks like a good one. And the Stones, of course. I thought of entering something involving "Helter Skelter", but it would have been overly complex and awkward.

Ethel is a fun-loving lady of a certain age who has been the focus of many funny contest entries by spikepunk.

Very nice indeed Geeker! Thanks for setting Baccy and for the double silver (and grammar correction) greatly appreciated! BTW I was toying with a Beatles/Stones clue Helter Skelter/Shelter but couldn't get it to work well enough.PS loved Jon's Reform/Lee Anderson connection too.
