Oh, stop it. Except for engineers and a few people like that, nobody is ever going to need more than 4K.
Here they were “Tyme machines”. Tyme didnt last very long but to this day when someone here needs cash you will hear them say “run to the time machine.”
My older brother did. That place was off the hook in the 80s from what he said.
Puncturing ears with ice picks because you don't like certain music makes the music you like, less desirable. I have eclectic taste where I like certain songs but can refrain from the ice picks on those I don't.
My first experience with an ATM was in ‘83 or ‘84 and, as near as I can remember, they were always called ATMs.
Here in the Flint, MI area we had “Genny from Genesee Bank”.
During that time we were listening to Def Leppard, Foreigner, Journey, Styx, Rush and Van Halen.
The song I liked best was Making Love Out Of Nothing At All. ItâÂÂs still one of my favorites. My husband and I saw them in Las Vegas twice. A rather lackluster performance each timeâ¦.but their songs saved them. The packed house loved the music. And they were Air Supply. And it was Las Vegas. âºï¸Â
They changed Granite Run Mall to an outdoor strip mall.
GRM went downhill once SEPTA started running a Chester to GRM route.
I went to 69th street 3 years ago, and there were more signs in different languages than English...
And a friend of mine said they are better than the Beatles. I laughed... loudly.
Yes, they were quite lame.
My wife really loved Air Supply. We saw them in concert at a county fair in the 90’s. They were ok live but I must say I was a little disappointed. Hicthcock’s amazing vocal range was not on display once during the evening. Was it just an off night or had he lost his range? If these singers don’t take care of their voices, they can lose them doing 200 shows year after year. Maybe that’s why they really haven’t had any hits since the 80’s....
To me Springsteen is and always was a big zero and that even before I knew anything political about him.
Springsteen was a Jersey thing but one of the guys working in the projection booth at our college theater was from Jersey and would play him before movies.
Titless Tellers
My buddy Tony started calling the ATM the “beer in the box”. That definitely stuck with our group of friends.
None of my younger friends even carry cash anymore. At a birthday party this weekend and this subject came up. All of us in our fifties were saying we always have at least a $100 bucks on us. Most of the guys in their 30’s and 40’s said they barely have 10 bucks on them. It is weird how things change.
I admit to liking most all of the Air Supply songs. I always had an appreciation for soft rock. Lobo, BJ Thomas and Neil Diamond are other soft rock artists from the era that come to mind). There were many others.
You can still hear these songs on Sirius XM stations like The Bridge and Yacht Rock. Or the Top 40 countdowns on the 70s and 80s stations.
I remember going there on a Saturday morning to pull $40 out at an Oceanside, CA branch. It seemed like something right out of the future. I always had this fear that it would malfunction and not spit out the money, but debit my account anyway as if it did. That never happened. But it was still many years before I trusted putting money INTO an ATM machine.
I think Air Supply should be banned from playing on the radio. Too many accidents caused as people try to change the station.
