The Trouble with Spikol | Make Major Moves | PW Style | Cup o'Joel
Liz Spikol was born in Philadelphia sometime in the 20th century. She started writing about her experience as a person with mental illness in 1999, while employed at Philadelphia Weekly as the paper’s managing editor. Aside from serving as that paper’s web editor, music editor, staff writer, senior editor, executive editor and a host of other random roles that she couldn’t make up her mind about, she has also worked as a Spanish teacher, as a Certified Peer Specialist during Philly’s system-wide transformation and as a communications specialist for a prison reform organization. Currently, she works at the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania and writes book reviews for PW. This blog — named one of the Top 10 Bipolar Blogs of 2007 and 2008 by PsychCentral — is about medications, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, SAD (and many other acronyms), mad pride, Big Pharma, celebrities, hospitals, stigma and the recovery movement. And other stuff.

Does this video bring back memories. When I was a child my family went to the Catskills for a vacation. The hotel had a large screen video jukebox well before the the advent of home VCRs, DVDs and wide-screens. Mesmerized kids would play Nancy Sinatra’s Boots are Made fDor Walking for hours interspersed with the occasional Tom Jones video courtesy of a new ending stream of parents’ quarters.
I really love the czech version of this song, the lyrics are very funny and there is also a new modernized version of the same song….hope you enjoy it too
