Please tell me there is someone out there that remembers these dudes...

[armyvern]

Vern, I never took you for a "9 1/2 Weeks" fan... >

Gee, go figure eh?  ;D

Funny you mention Molly Ringworm, oops, Ringwald and 16 Candles and after I brought up Gross Pointe Blank - both John and Joan Cusack were in that flick and got their starts there.  He was one of the power geeks with Anthony Michael Hall and she was the chick in the scoliosis brace who couldn't figure out the water fountain.

Yeah, your mention of Gross Pointe Blank is what reminded me of the whole Brat Pack movie scene, that's why I brought them up!! Man, I feel OLD!!

Age is but a state of mind - though my body often tells my mind otherwise  ;D.

I'll quote you something from an email I recently received from my Dad (he's 79ish - He'll be 80 in June).  His email was a reply to a flip one I'd sent him regarding me feeling "old" and him being "ancient" - similar to something I posted somewhere on this thread.

[quote author=Roy's Dad]You go ahead, keep getting old. As for me, I refuse.

Love, Dad[/quote]

Surfin' on Heroin, Forgotten Rebels

Bomb the Boats
Me Generation
_ _ _ _ me dead

good times, I thankfully missed the whole "angst ridden preppy boy" thing.  I split my time evenly between punk and metal.
Forgotten Rebels, Randy peters, The Clash, Sex pistols, Ramones, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Dio, Van Hallen, Alice Cooper, Ozzy, Quiet Riot... There were plenty more but I was rather "drunk" at the time.  8)

Wow.....a lot of you here are old      >


When Vern was 8, I was....did I ever tell you about this time in Cornwallis.....what were we talking about again?  ;D

Well, I always knew that I know NOTHING about music,
but this thread has open my eyes further to the amount of thing
that I know NOTHING about.

Thanks God (and Vern ) for her  Madonna 80s Megamix
post, at least I recognised some of the names, sight!

This fellow's music spans a cuple of decades - the 80's included -  so I've decided to add him to the montage we've created thus far.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZpRuKyksxks - this one frequently brings a tear to my eye, as it did when I saw him sing it live;

http://youtube.com/watch?v=7MuGGQhnJCY - this one literally spans decades;

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Pf-_RwiiVT0 - this chick dumped him;

http://youtube.com/watch?v=rZ1_M_L_RSI - the one that made him famous;

http://youtube.com/watch?v=lkNsHYJ0Qys ;

I think that should be enough of Billy Joel for now.

You can have too much Billy Joel? 

How about Robert Plant with Big Log? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ef2FBcjMHY

And you can also never have too much David Bowie, particularly, the Serious Moonlight Tour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF3SBrLrgmE

Guilty.  Except my oversized t-shirt said "Choose HESH" on the front and "Choose COAX" on the back.
