Midway Airport in Chicago has life size statues of Jake and Elwood Blues in one of the concours. I'll be going through there on my way home from San Diego. If I've got time, I'll grab a pix!

Here it is.

does anyone in the UK remember a TV show from the 70s called "get some in" it was a comedy about the ppl in the RAF doing national service. I cant remember nothing about it apart from about 2 lines of the theme tune and the coal miners were on strike at the time cos the leccy kept going off just as it was about to start, but not met anyone who can remember it tho

I do indeed crazyhorse.

From Wikipedia,

Get Some In! was a British television series about life in Royal Air Force National Service broadcast between 1975 and 1978 by Thames Television. Scripts were by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey who had previously written The Good Life. The programme drew its inspiration from National Service comedy The Army Game, and from nostalgic Dad's Army, but the RAF setting gave it enough originality not to seem formulaic. Thirty-four (commercial) half-hour episodes were made.

Strangely enough, the series has never been repeated in full on terrestrial TV, although the UKTV Gold cable channel has aired the episodes uncut.

I remember it.  I can't find any clips on the net but I will keep trying. 

As far as I can remember the name came from a saying used by NCOs to unwilling or uncooperative national servicemen.  The only way for you to get out is to get some in.  I think that was in the theme song too.

I am so glad that national service had been scrapped before I had to do it.

Indeed I do, Dare. When I was a kid, I wanted one of those Bat Masterson cap-firing walking sticks. Gene Barry later starred in Burke's Law, where he played a police detective who rode around in a Rols Phantom III.

Remember DeSoto?
