Did Michael J. Fox play and sing _Johnny_B_Goode_? If not, I'd like to know who it was. I've never seen him do anything musical on other shows. I saw the movie again this weekend and watched the credits at the end. All it said was "_Johnny_B_Goode_ by Marty McFly and the Musictones" (or whatever the name of that group was). Thanks, K. Cozens

Here is yet another BTTF question, and one that I consider the most obvious problem with the storyline: If Marty, during the revised progression of history, is both the son of Mr. & Mrs. McFly AND the person who had such a profound impact on the revised progression of the lives of the parents & Biff, certainly he should look VERY familiar to the three of them (after the second go-around)! Yet at the end of the movie, there is NO indication that anyone (but myself) recognized him from their new pasts!

As one person on the net had pointed out earlier, Marty met his parents 30 years ago and he only spent a couple days with them. It would be pretty hard to remember someone after all that time. However, if Marty's parents did recognize him from 30 years ago then they would have recognized him long before he came back to the future. They would have noticed the resemblence say when Marty was 12 years old or so not just instantaneously because remember, Marty grew up with them he didn't just appear one day. Hence no indication on that one day when Marty came home at the end of the movie. They did buy Marty that 4X4 for a present though, so he must have been a favorite for some reason or other. Joseph M.

He did play the guitar, but the music you hear on the soundtrack is a session guitarist. Fox's playing was mostly to make it look right. Charley Wingate

Cozens _Johnny_B_Goode_ was sung in the movie by Mark Campbell and the guitar solo was done by Tim May, according to the back cover of the soundtrack album. (Incidentally, the backup group was The Starlighters.) Ed Zebrowski (zeke@dartvax.UUCP)

Yet at the end of the movie, there is NO indication that > anyone (but myself) recognized him from their new pasts! (Sorry about the weird mail.) I wondered about this myself, and here's what I came up with. Marty was only part of their lives for one week. Considering the limited exposure and the passage of time, their is no reason they should recognize him. In addition, they watched him slowly grow into his present looks from his original state as a newborn. Subconciously they would probably resist the idea of "recognizing" him.

[] I don't know if this has been brougt up before. I didn't read the first rash of postings on BTTF because I hadn't seen it yet. So, apologies if necessary. Anyway, In the opening scenes of the film, when Marty comes in to Doc Brown's lab and starts turning on equipment, one of the first things he does is to turn a key switch on a panel. In that very brief shot I thought I saw a Dymo tape label under the switch that read 'CRM-114'. Did anyone else see this or did I imagine it? If it was real I can only take it as a reference to _Dr. Strangelove_ where CRM-114 was the designation of the device which prohibited receiving any messages that did not begin with the proper 3 letter code prefix. ---- William J.
