Not that I know of.

He’s just a lad, insane.

[if I keep poking him, maybe he’ll appear]

I’ll shut up after this about AG, but I love this part where Debbie is trying to console Toad:

You know, Terry?
I had a pretty good time tonight.
Come on. You’re just—
No, no. Really, really.
I really had a good time.
I mean, you picked me up and we got some hard stuff...
saw a hold up and then we went to the canal.
You got your car stolen.
And then I got to watch you get sick.
Then you got in this really bitchin’ fight.
I really had a good time.

I’m sitting here depressed, thinking that *40 years ago*, I saw it new in the theater.

Ugh.

I’m old.

I remember watching the the first two videos. Then I left the room.

Seems the only two videos I recall them playing were “I melt with you”, and my favorite video of all time, “Take on me”

Loved pop-up video.

As for Dexy’s totally agree, but they were really good when they did a spot on “The Young Ones”. For one brief moment, I thought their lead singer was kinda sexy, like Rod Stewart. Unlike the Eileen video.
(Love the song, disliked the video)

I must be feeling nostalgic tonight. I miss the 80s. I do not miss the hair.

I think that was the sum and total of my contribution...to slap Dreyfuss upside the head.

Man I had the hots for John Travolta in the 4th grade. :) Welcome Back Kotter and then Grease.

I have to admit I love Dreyfuss in AG and Jaws. I know he’s an ijit, but those are two of my all time fave movies.

“I melt with you”

All I can see when that video’s playing, is that icky Bandaid on his arm, wondering what’s under it.

:D

I went to the cable company office one day and the receptionist had the entire area *plastered* with Travolta stuff.

This was the front desk.

I have no idea how she got away with that.

It was a little disturbing.

I liked Epstein.

:)

Yup.

If you haven’t seen “Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead”. please do.

He is excellent as The Player.

[I’ll give him a nod for Close Encounters, too]

Modern English was the 2nd concert I saw...1982. I only knew I’ll Stop the World and Melt with You, but that was enough.

Oh thank you!

I’ve never met anyone else who agrees Bruce jumped the shark after “The River”

To this day, I listen to that album a lot. “Point Blank” sends shivers down my back and makes me cry. “Cadillac Ranch” makes me dance.

LOL!!!

I'll have to try to find the video I saw with him in it the other night. It was about hell raising English stars.

I'll try to remember that one. Have not heard about it.

Point Blank is one of my top 5 Bruce tunes.

I hate to admit that liberal moron got me through a pretty rough youth.

And baby, the lights go...out.

In concert, he sang that in total darkness, with a single spotlight on him.

And, of course, on the word “out”, they cut the light.

Awesome.
