MTV circa 1983

The Police played in Iowa?!

Gotta run ... 1-800-HOT-ROCK is awaiting my order.

 

I looked it up on Wikipedia, I never really watched the Go-Bots anyway. I don't think there's anything left of that teddy bear to burn, but thanks for bringing up one of the most traumatic experiences of my childhood, jerkass!

 

This is phenomenal -- well, except that I now have to find three hours to watch it.

 

I saw the Police in OKC.

Nov. 20, 1983. Wow.

 

SJ should know that the aforementioned bear, Michael, was the bomb. He wasn't as cool as Archie the Armadillo or my bear, Abercrombie, but cool nonetheless.

I fully admit I was a total dick for burning his bear's ass and that I scarred Z-Man for life. I had issues as a misbegoten youth. Didn't I burn a couple of G.I. Joe's you had taken out of circulation?

 

Dude, the Stones played in Iowa about a year or two before The Police.

It was like '81 or '82, long before the soulless fucks at Ticketmaster walked the Earth. Ticket sales were announced as follows:

DJ on 95 KGGO in Des Moines interrupts a song "THE STONES ARE COMING TO DES MOINES!!! TICKETS ARE ON SALE AT VETS (auditorium) NOW!!!!!

People who were driving by Vets during the announcement were actually abandoning their vehicles in the middle of the road and sprinting up to the ticket windows.

good times...good times...

 

Michael Bolton's first stab at rock video stardom was ... entertaining.

God I had the hots for that chick from Bow Wow Wow.

These three hours are right in my wheelhouse.

 

Are you talking about Fool's Game? Ick.

 

I used to watch a lot of MTV, but now I couldn't even tell you where it is on my channel guide.

 

As far as I know, you only burned this one.

 

Hey. I was at that show too. We went from Pensacola on some radio-station bus.

 

Wasn't that part of the Village People set?
