#55 – Thompson Twins: “Lies”

There were three of them, and this New Wave band hit the jackpot in the Eighties. This is an incredibly imaginative video.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...made it thru the week? Very many ice issues?

We’re starting into another heat wave. I hate this weather!

[Publius]

Back in those days, I used weed on weekends due to the stress of my job. It helped me sleep and catch up on my sleep. On a Friday night, I would light up and watch MTV. I don't know if you're aware of this, but when you're blissfully stoned, MTV contains all the secrets of the universe. You just have to know where to look.

Later on Friday night, the USA Network ran "Night Flight" out of Chicago, which would show the dirty videos that MTV wouldn't touch.

The funny part is that here in Washington state, weed is now legal. It is a historical irony that when they finally got around to legalizing it, it was at a time when I had ceased to care.

Ah, the old days of my wasted youth.

Groovin’!

Thanks, PRO!!

Happy Valentine's Day, puppypusher.

The heater has never been worth a damn. But it has served us as well as it could for the last 25 years, until Gorebull Warming! Now, it refuses to work when the temps drop below 20. It went on strike right after dinnertime tonight when we hit 19. We're now at 14 on our way down to single digits.

Fortunately, we have some good oak burning in the MacNessa Hearth. We're all gathering in close range to it to sleep tonight. The cats, as usual, lie close to the flame - you just can't teach them! Sir Winston will snuggle in with Mrs. MacNessa if he can - otherwise with John-Man.

The way things look now, we will probably have the fire going continuously until at least Tuesday!

#48 – Toni Basil: “Mickey”

Antonia Basilotta turns 72 this year. She was from Philly and was one of the greatest choreographers of her era, starting with ABC’s “Shindig” in the Sixties. She did some acting, and you can spot her in a small role in “American Graffiti”, among other films.

This song was originally titled “Kitty”, and it was a hit in the UK by a band called Racey. Toni recorded it in 1980, but it didn’t break until she choreographed the video, reaching back to her cheerleading days. It was one of the great dance tunes of the Eighties.

I ran across Toni in 1984 in a Spanish restaurant on Santa Monica Blvd. in West L.A. with a group of her friends, and I was amazed at just how tiny she was. I would guess four-ten or four-eleven at most. She was 39 when she recorded this video. Word is she still looks great.

And here is what she wanted in the first place.
