Does everyone know The Big Dog's going to be on TDS tonight?
Natter 46: The FIGHTIN' 46
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
We do now!
My work here is done.
I missed the NKOTB memo.
I think, at the time, I was too busy crushing on Davids Bowie and Sylvian.
I remember thinking Sinead O'Connor was heart-stoppingly beautiful, and being mildly sad that I found her so annoying. (Lion and the Cobra era.)
But really, my biggest crush of that era was MTV VJ Kevin Seal.
I was old enough that NKOTB didn't really interest me. I thought they were cute, but that was about it.
See, Cindy, I think I knew people around your age who were into them (my riding instructor, for one).
It always confused me.
I never liked NKoTB. The 80's and 90's were strictly alternative, punk and moving into grunge period for me, interspersed with classic rock.
Cash is, as in many things, me.
My freshman year of college was 85/86. I think that's about when NKOTB broke on the scene.
It was much more a U2, Bruce, Simple Minds, Fine Young Cannibals, Hooters, OMD, Human League, Robert Palmer, Peter Gabriel sort of time at college.
Gah I hated FYC and Hooters. Aside from U2 and Bruce, I was mostly surviving on mix tapes my friend/boyfriend/friend/weirdness was sending me from U-Mass. Those songs were probably 10 to 20 years old. It was all Stones, Led Zep, The Who, Frampton, The Doobie Brothers, CCR, etc.
Oh! Except for the Violent Femmes! The townie boys we hung around with listened to the Femmes. A lot. A couple of them also had a band.

In terms of Willie:
Willie Nelson and four others were issued misdemeanor citations.
Willie has recovered from the IRS stuff and is rich again as far as I know. So hopefully this like a $5 traffic ticket to him - pay the fine and move on.
