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.
Did you play French Horn, too?
Yep. Jr. high through high-school. I showed some promise, but once I had a girlfriend I for some reason practiced it a lot less, so I ended up being 4th horn my Jr. and Sr. years.
My dad bought me the horn. I was the only one who owned his own. And I was the only one without a double horn, which made the high notes harder to hit. (I occasionally still have dreams where I have a solo part to play, and I mess up the high notes.)
I played french horn too!!
Huh. Cool.
We should form a Buffista high-school band....
Ooh - marching band uniforms with corsets!
Try playing that song back-to-back with Air Supply's "Making Love Out of Nothing at All."
Yes, but there is something corrupt (so it says) and it will not unzip for me :(
I had to go to some other site and download a codec. I'd explain in more detail, but mostly, I shouted to Scott to come talk me through it, and we ended up having to download a new Windows Media player first, and then the codec, and then this morning, I had to go and get Scooby Road again, even though I'd gotten it last night.
Sassy had a special insert one issue with a very thin plastic square record of an REM song, I can't remember which one. But you could put it on top of a real record and it would play. I remember someone wrote in wishing that the magazine had included the lyrics.
I had really horrible taste in music and didn't know anything, I loved hair bands and Richard Marx and didn't know Pink Floyd was a band for the longest time. And I loved a-ha, I remember being such a dork and jumping up and down so excited when they won best video at the VMAs.
I still love Def Leppard. If "Pour Some Sugar On Me" comes on the radio, you bet I'm turning it up. And singing along.
Def Leppard was the first "real" concert I went to see (previously I'd seen Sandi Patti at the same civic center, but that doesnt' count). My brother and I went and Mom's best friend (who is 10 yrs younger and much hipper back then) took us. It was a lot of fun and Queensryche opened for them. Later on I saw Tesla and Metallica.
You people are reminding me why I tried really hard to only listen to songs recorded before 1970 once the 80's really started rocking. With some occasional exceptions for late New Wave/early Alternative.

The drummer in my friends' band that also played at the Hate the 80s--The Metal Years event we did this weekend stuffed his one arm in his shirt while they played a couple of Def Leppard songs. That's commitment. It was AWESOME.
Have any of ya'll seen Heavy Metal Parking Lot ? Best documentary ever. One of the filmmakers and a couple of the guys from the film were there on Saturday too. PRIEST RULES!

Yeah, I felt that way once. Boy was I shocked when it turned out it had never sucked in the first place. Sorry Theo. I think it was the "Hot Stuff" scene at the dole queue in THE FULL MONTY that finally made me say "Uncle!"
