    Happy birthday to all!

    Now, if you were parking on the dance floor to their previous hit, hit the rink for this classic roller fave!



    And for the hell of it, Dire Straits' "Skateaway:"

    Great pull, Huggy. I remember hearing and loving that song(s) when I was in junior high. A local radio station liked to play it at night.

    And happy birthday to all! No skating backwards and keep both roller skates on the floor, please!

    From the 3:10 mark on (Switchin' To Glide), that song is pure awesome.

    Same here ... had no idea they were an item.

    That said, this whole Matthew Wilder-white guy thing is waaayyyy more shocking.

    Nice one, Tony. Made me think of the concession stand at the good ol' Westmont (Ill.) roller rink. I believe the building is now a flower shop/warehouse.

    Here's one of the all-time roller rink classics, late 70s-early 80s vintage. Think disco ... think Star Wars ... think MECO:
