Golden Age of Porn

The Golden Age of Porn, or porno chic, refers to a 15-year period (mostly, 1969 – 1984) in commercial American pornography that began in 1969 with the film Blue Movie, directed by Andy Warhol, and, more freely, in 1970, with the film Mona, produced by Bill Osco. These films were the first adult erotic films depicting explicit sex to receive wide theatrical release in the United States. Both influenced the making of films like, in 1972, Deep Throat, starring Linda Lovelace and directed by Gerard Damiano; and Behind the Green Door, starring Marilyn Chambers and directed by the Mitchell brothers; in 1973, The Devil in Miss Jones, also directed by Damiano; and later, in 1976, The Opening of Misty Beethoven, directed by Radley Metzger, and considered, by award-winning author Toni Bentley, the "crown jewel" of the 'Golden Age'.

Following mentions by Johnny Carson on his popular TV show, and Bob Hope on TV as well,Deep Throat achieved major box office success, despite being rudimentary by mainstream standards. In 1973, the far-more-accomplished, but still low budget, film The Devil in Miss Jones, also directed by Damiano, was the seventh most successful film of the year, and was well received by major media, including a favorable review by film critic Roger Ebert. It became obvious that box office returns of very low budget adult erotic films could fund further advances in the technical and production values of porn, making it extremely competitive with Hollywood films. There was concern that, left unchecked, the vast profitability of such films would lead to Hollywood being influenced by pornography.

Brain Shake

by: AC/DC

Alright, hold tight
I want to ball tonight
On my fender, no space defender
I enjoy it on the floor, I get it tight
Toe to toe with a black widow
Fee Fia Foo smell the blood of rock 'n' roll
All night drive on the rockin' suicide
My feet are jumping, she's a joy to ride
Joy to ride, a joy to ride
She's an all night drive on the rockin' suicide
And it's a brain shake, brain shake, brain shake
All I can take
Brain shake, brain shake, brain shake
She's a mean lean rocking machine
A hip hugging blue jean dream
She's a one course dinner, with a sweet sweet kiss
Her hips are right around me
And it's toe to toe with a black widow
Fee Fia Foo smell the blood of rock 'n' roll
All night drive on the rockin' suicide
My feet are jumping, she's a joy to ride
Joy to ride, a joy to ride
She's an all night drive on the rockin' suicide
And it's a brain shake, brain shake, brain shake
Ready to shake
Brain shake, brain shake, brain shake
It's a brain shake brain shake brain shake
For mercy sake
It's a brain shake, brain shake, brain shake
She's a joy to ride
Joy to ride, a joy to ride
She's an all night drive on the rockin' suicide
Brain shake x3
Ready to shake
Brain shake x3
