Nobody knows nothing, and I'm feeling old.<BR/><BR/>Friday Night Videos were classic. Amy's so funny b/c her folks didn't have cable either, and I guess she missed FNV because I'm always asking her about some 80's video and she just doesn't have a clue.Mat Brewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572618956112125321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13746420.post-1143230314221560622006-03-24T13:58:00.000-06:002006-03-24T13:58:00.000-06:00What, were y'all proctologists in training or some...What, were y'all proctologists in training or something, Jamison?<BR/><BR/>Ew!bigsiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435879973761006243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13746420.post-1143229562371804682006-03-24T13:46:00.000-06:002006-03-24T13:46:00.000-06:00Friday night videos, classic!Whatever happened to ...Friday night videos, classic!<BR/><BR/>Whatever happened to Martha Quinn and "Classic MTV?"<BR/><BR/>How is MTV doing anyway?

Made me laugh, Mullins.I know you all know ...HAHA! Made me laugh, Mullins.<BR/><BR/>I know you all know this, but I didn't get into the popular music scene very much back in the 80s. But, it was all around me and I remember some of it.<BR/><BR/>My little brother liked Bon Jovi and listened to him for a while, but that was later in the 90s.<BR/><BR/>I didn't really think about this until now, but I think one of the reasons I was sheilded from the preternaturally tacky decade we call the 80s was because we were poor.<BR/><BR/>We had a roof over our heads, plenty of food, a TV, and stuff like that, but we always wore second-hand clothes, didn't have cable, and rarely were able to buy records/tapes. So, we'd catch snippets of music on the radio and sometimes we'd see "Friday Night Videos".<BR/><BR/>But, overall, we just didn't "get" the 80s. It didn't reach us as it did so many other folks my age. Am I better or worse for it? I don't think I either. I'm just not too affected by it. But, it seemed fun. It was interesting to see the other kids wearing Kangaroos, parachute pants, and jams. Somehow, I feel as if I experienced the 80s vicariously.<BR/><BR/>Weird.<BR/><BR/>Keep dancing, Mullins!
