Was worth it: A precise document about US youth culture 35 years ago with deep insights. Thanks for the heads up! \m/ 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Rechts 2,439 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) The girl in the video still up top is my former guitar player's wife, Michelle Jackson. 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... Edited February 9 by Ed Rechts 6 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cmatthes 20,684 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 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! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
