My first viewing was in Hollywood with a girlfriend who a valley girl. I'm from northern ca. I was 19 years old back in 79. I gotta tell ya, it was quite an eye opening experience to say the least. I had led a pretty sheltered life before that and well... I never thought I'd watch a movie with a transvestite in heels and fishnet stockings.
Great music in that movie.
I went a couple times as one of the "party-goers": tophat, tails & spats. And then once as fairly convincing "Eddie" -- except for the short hair.
