Was worth it: A precise document about US youth culture 35 years ago with deep insights. Thanks for the heads up! \m/
cmatthes Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 More Camaros and durty Murlen axschents than should be allowed by law! Sadly for the esteemed Justice, his buddy Squee was stuck in Dewey Beach that weekend working a double with me at Crabber’s Cove in Ruddertowne (that’s actually true). I remember that because none of us could take off for Memorial Day weekend!
hikarateboy Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 My only question is how did he pick up the only girl at a Gary Moore concert?

I lived that scene, though perhaps not to the extent that some of these folks did. My Camaro was an old, hand-me-down Mazda GLC and I had a buzz cut. I did have a cheesy mustache though so, there's that.

The reverse-hinged hood gave me the slightest hope that it wasn't as uncool as it actually was. I was, however, able to drive it well past 250K miles before I sold it, which a comparable-era Camaro would relate as "headliner sagging, engine rebuilt, transmission replaced...twice, sold for parts"

Hell, that thing didn't even have more than a AM/FM radio so, I couldn't even bang my head to anything heavier than what they were playing on the radio, which didn't include much Judas Priest.

A great mom and a great dog trainer in Gainesville, VA now. My old band did much of the soundtrack to the "revisited anniversary" of this film a few years back. I was thankfully out of DC and already in Hollywood CA when this fiasco was filmed, or my spandexed ass would be in there babbling suburbanite white boy nonsense with the rest of these disenfranchised youth instead of doing **cough** activities with Izzy Stradlin on the Sunset Strip. Enjoy... I was disappointed that they did not ask Zebra Man if he still thinks Madonna's a dick.

I was not surprised that he said he listens to mostly country music now and I'm just going to assume it's the hair metal 2.0 horseshit like Florida Georgia Line and whatnot. Also, I'm a fairly dim bulb. I still don't get the BK reference in the OP?

cmatthes Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Brett K. grew up, went to high school and college 10-15 miles away from the Cap Centre. I saw him the last time we had dinner with my F-I-L at Columbia CC - they were catching a drink at the bar. I'm still friends with "Squee". Brett is not.

LucSulla Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 I was 7 in 1986. And I was way into all of this stuff already by then. Listening back to some of the albums I had on tape back then, I really can't believe my parents let me listen to it. I was listening to Poison, Whitesnake, Motley Crue, and Aerosmith pretty much nonstop by then. Which is all to say it has to be the reason I turned out so messed up, haha.
