I remember that video, and I remember when MTV played actual music videos, and you could turn it on for HOURS to clean, party, read, whatever and not have to worry about some stupid show coming on. The good days, huh?<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed that, maybe even more than the "not so personal" MTM's.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811460930343769653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-34089116345094626072009-03-09T17:42:00.000-05:002009-03-09T17:42:00.000-05:00I loved twisted sister.

Dee Snyder is in good company, Little Richard was arrested at The Nat for inciting lewd behavior in teens, what with their wild gyrating in tight blue jeans and such.<BR/><BR/>I miss having a venue that brings in the big acts. They keep building new venues, but none of them are large enough to attract anyone we care to see. I kinda resent having to drive to LUBBOCK to see the big acts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-32978326692562359292009-03-09T14:05:00.000-05:002009-03-09T14:05:00.000-05:00Great story, Travis!

Sometimes they supervised me with a gaggle of my girlfriends, but mostly they dropped us off and picked us up after. <BR/><BR/>Gah! What were they thinking? Oh well, nothing that interesting ever happened.WendyCinNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548500219172368038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-60484121321700603622009-03-09T08:53:00.000-05:002009-03-09T08:53:00.000-05:00Oh so many memories...Foggy ones.

I only remember seeing hmm Disney on ice or some such nonsense!<BR/><BR/>I like going to the Gorillas game's actually. I haven't been in awhile though. We always sit right in the middle by the glass- My favorite thing is banging my puck against the glass or bringing my Hockey for Dummies book, and taunting the Refs and the other team. I miss Shawn Degagne though...*sigh*<BR/><BR/>Anyway... great post!
