"Blasts From the Past" (1962)

OT: Thanks to Grant Barrett and Orion Montoya for their help in digitizing
the 1937 "Big Apple" song. My website had about 3,400 hits yesterday.

Tuesday's Daily News headline was "BLASTS FROM PAST." Tuesday's Metro
headline was "BLAST FROM PAST." Both were about testimony in the Michael Jackson
trial. I took a look and the second paper's headline and mistaken thought that I'd
already picked it up and read it.
...
I remember "blast from the past" from Wolfman Jack in the film AMERICAN
GRAFFITI. It's at least from 1962. "Blast from the past" is not in the OED.
