Chubby Checker's hit single exemplified the early 60's. While there was a sense of pushing the envelope further, a lot of people went along with that. Of course, those who were buying had this power, yet we mustn't forget that somehow many things got aligned perfectly. I mean, The Drifters had many successes during the early 60's with the tune in the link being one of them. They kept refining their formula, until they reached their apex on the song I posted. Mind you, I also did the latter thanks to me continuing to be baffled by the piece, since there is an incredible mixture of moods present, a certain part of the composition becomes quite scary. Why did they intend to do such an emotion? Were they expressing the volatility of love?

Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza Time Theatre by Nolan Bushnell (1977), Atari. Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre was created by Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, who wanted to expand video-game arcades to family-friendly venues. The Cyberamics animatronic control system was developed by Pizza Time Theatre and used in-store from 1979.

"In May 1977, a new pizza place opened for business in San Jose, California. At the time, calling it “unique” might have been an understatement. The brainchild of Atari cofounder Nolan Bushnell –and, initially, an arm of that company – it featured entertainment provided by a cast of robotic characters led by a giant cigar-smoking rat with a bowler, buck teeth, and a Jersey accent. The place – as much a strip-mall Disneyland as an eatery – was called Pizza Time Theatre, and the rodent was known as Chuck E. Cheese.

Atari artist Bob Flemate designed Chuck E. Cheese and other characters. Engineers such as Larry Emmons and Ron Milner of Atari’s Grass Valley, Calif. think tank, Cyan Engineering, provided the mechanical designs for the first characters, and an artist named Harold Goldbranson designed the flexible character skins that would aesthetically bring them to life. Mike Hatcher programmed many of the robots’ movements, which were powered by pneumatic pistons and triggered by computer control from signals on pre-recorded reel-to-reel tape that could be shipped to each store." – Robots, Pizza, And Sensory Overload: The Chuck E. Cheese Origin Story, by Benj Edwards, Fast Company.

COMPUTER SPACE (1971)

"In 1971, a Californian entrepreneur named Nolan Bushnell decided to deliver Spacewar! to the masses. Computer Space—essentially Spacewar repackaged—was the first modern coin-operated arcade game."

SPACE WAR! (1962)

Spacewar! is a space combat video game developed in 1962 by Steve Russell in collaboration with Martin Graetz, Wayne Wiitanen, Bob Saunders, Steve Piner, and others. It was written for the newly installed DEC PDP-1 minicomputer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

"the popularization of video games is better traced to Steve Russell, a graduate student who studied at MIT in the early 1960s. Russell is commonly credited for creating Spacewar with the help of collabora- tors. In Spacewar, each competitor controlled a spaceship. The players navigated the ships on a flat plane around a central sun (with simulated gravity) and attempted to destroy each other with missiles. In an interview with a reporter from Rolling Stone magazine, Russell described Spacewar not as a game, but as a way to “simulate a reasonably complicated physical system and actually see what is going on.”

Came across this whilst researching my book. Thought it was cool.

NARCISSUS AT THE FOUR SEASONS

One Sunday night, I went to a charity benefit at the Four Seasons. The theme was Ode to Love. Each of the tables was named after a different famous couple - there were Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker, Narcissus and Himself, Catherine the Great and Her Horse, Michael Jackson and Friends. Al D'Amato sat at the Bill and Hillary table. Each table featured a centerpiece made up of related items - for instance, at the Tammy Faye Bakker table there were false eyelashes, blue eye shadow, and lipstick candles. Michael Jackson's table had a stuffed gorilla and Porcelana face cream.

Bob Pittman was there. "Love's not over - smoking is over," Bob said, grinning, while his wife, Sandy, stood next to him, and I stood behind the indoor foliage trying to sneak a cigarette. Sandy said she was about to climb a mountain in New Guinea and would be gone for several weeks.

I went home alone, but right before I left, someone handed me the jawbone of a horse from the Catherine the Great table.

Doris Troy (born Doris Elaine Higginsen; January 6, 1937 – February 16, 2004) was an R&B singer and songwriter, known to her many fans as "Mama Soul". Her biggest hit was "Just One Look", a top-10 hit. She was one of the four female backup singers on The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. Under the name Doris Payne, she began songwriting and earned $100 for the Dee Clark hit "How About That". Going into the recording industry, she worked as a backup vocalist for Atlantic Records alongside Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick. She was part of the original lineup of The Sweet Inspirations, with Cissy Houston and the two Warwicks. Taking her stage name from Helen of Troy, she sang backup vocals for Solomon Burke, the Drifters, Houston, and Dionne Warwick, before she co-wrote and recorded"Just One Look". This song hit No. 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100. "Just One Look" was the only charting US hit for her. The song was recorded in 10 minutes, as a demo for Atlantic Records. Atlantic Records heard the demo, and they decided not to re-record it, instead opting to release it as was. The musicians included Ernie Hayes on organ, Wally Richardson on guitar, Bob Bushnell on bass, and Bernard "Pretty" Purdie on drums. The song has been covered by The Hollies, Faith, Hope & Charity, Major Lance, Linda Ronstadt, Bryan Ferry, Anne Murray, Klaus Nomi, and Harry Nilsson in a duet with Lynda Laurence. Her only foray into the UK Singles Chart, "Whatcha Gonna Do About It", peaked at No. 37. As her solo career peaked, she continued to sing backup for multiple artists and bands.

Axlon robot prototype (1987) by Branch & Associates (Australia) for Axlon, Woodside, CA. From 1984, B&A had embarked on a long-term project to develop autonomous navigation and guidance systems for inexpensive mass-produced robots. This resulted in the parametric mapping technology used in a robot prototype produced for Axlon, one of the companies under the umbrella of Nolan Bushnell’s Catalyst Group. The mapping system accepts any type of input sensor, including sonar, laser range finder or stereo vision. An inexpensive ultrasonic transducer from Polaroid is used for consumer robots because it provides cheap 360 degree mapping. The B&A Axlon prototype appears to reuse the differential drive Andro Base developed for BOB/XA (second photo).
