Nostalgia alert!
This post is a dedication...to the poor girl that was subjected to hours of music video VHS tapings and mix tape marathons in the early eighties...not to mention the nicknames that I created for her.
Brace yourself...you haven't seen some of these in 20+ yrs. I've left out some of the super obvious (DD) and have included some Night Flight faves...I have tears!
P.S. After posting these I realized we didn't really listen to much American music in the early/mid 80's...thank god we dodged that "Hair Metal" bullet...but you did have that Huey Lewis phase that we will never let you live down...

Wow, blast from the past! Thanks for the post, T. Those were the days. I loved hanging out in your room listening to DD, Depeche Mode, Frankie..'til we fell asleep. I remember times when you'd wake me up, just to hear a certain song. People can say what they want about 80s music, but I think it was a great time to grow up...other than the mullets & glasses you mentioned! And you're right, I guess we really didn't listen to much American Music, although I did love some Cyndi Lauper when I was 11! Did you hear that Timbaland is working on the new DD album? Never thought I'd see the day. I would love to reminisce some more...you planning to come home to MO for the holidays?
Abnero Montalban,
Glad you dig the post. Damn it's fun to watch these again. It reminds me of all of the nights we spent in my room reading Rolling Stone and Star Hits counting the days until we were 18 and could get out of that town...to find folks "like us". Ha! I think I may pull together a nostalgic post part deux...just for shits and giggles!
Anyway...no MO for Xmas...Hallam and his gang o'boys will be in town over Xmas/New Year...so playing hostess. But plan to drive out at some point after January to get my furniture out of storage. I'll keep you posted...
Love ya, B.I!
