The first movie I remember seeing at the drive-in theater was “Coal Miner’s Daughter” in Princeton, Minnesota. The film came out in 1980, which means I would have been 5 years old, watching slack-jawed from the bed of my dad’s root beer-brown Chevy pickup as Sissy Spacek warbled her way through Loretta Lynn’s life story. My parents used to throw a mattress back there so we kids could watch those double features, which started hours past our bedtimes. We’d lie beneath the stars eating popcorn and Jujubes, and if we fell asleep before the movie ended, jostling home while lying flat in the truck bed kept us that way.
