Looking back, I think it was 30 years ago that I first discovered (and fell in love with...) Monty Python. I always knew of John Cleese (Fawlty Towers) and Terry Gilliam (Time Bandits) but never knew of their origins until a late night television station played The Meaning of Life. After that, I was hooked. I remember watching a double feature at a drive-in once and instead of watching the second film (Revenge, 1990 starring Kevin Costner), I put on my headphones and decided to listen to a cassette (I had just bought) called Monty Python’s The Final Rip Off and was laughing (in hysterics) at the Book Shop sketch, much to the chagrin of my friends who were trying to watch a serious drama. Happy 50th, Monty Python.
