It was one of those stories Rock had told for years, usually to the amusement of his audience.
This time he was with a gathering of family and friends seated around a backyard table and under a large umbrella. Among the half dozen or so there were a Little Rock Hasher namded Emon and Rock's cousin Nita. After Nita said she spends a part of each day watching her "shows," Rock reminisced about the only soap opera he had followed and how he chose it.
Early in the summer of 1978, while staying with relatives in Russellville, Arkansas, he spent a day judging all the soaps based on the prettiness of their actresses. The hands-down winner was The Guiding Light, which he watched off-and-on for the next two or three years.
Everyone thought Rock's story was humorous, but no one more than Emon, who laughed hysterically.
