Carrie Turns Fifty

You-tube

This year “Carrie” turns fifty.

Carrie is not one of my friends, although I would have welcomed her as one. Some consider Stephan King’s Carrie a villain. However, since my first reading when I was 26, I’ve come to consider her a hero.

It’s a damn good thing I did not have Carrie’s telekinetic abilities when I was growing up in the late 1950s. If I’d had, my hometown would be ashes.
