Ray Davies reading from his autobiography 'X-Ray' c. 1994, Toronto. He talked about driving through a desert in America with someone with a phone in their car in the 60s or 70s, and the driver, who he wouldn't name, picking up the phone, talking rudely to someone, then hanging up and telling Davies that was Elvis.

Big pants at the fire
Fire somewhere in Ontario, 1990s. Some kids really did wear pants with the crotch a few inches above their ankles

Fireworks, not the Fourth of July or Canada Day
Fireworks in Black and white. Probably southern Ontario, c. 1993 or 1994, not Fourth of July or Canada Day. I was just driving along and saw them and set up a tripod.
