I may be in love with this mental picture. Maybe.
well, maybe the person has always loved the song (not as much as Save a Prayer, but damn near) and maybe the person NEVER thought that she'd see it live (I don't think they've played it live since the 80's).
And there may have been a moment when she heard the duh duh DUH duh duh DUH where she froze in disbelief, then turned to the other mega fan and said "NO" and the other said "YES". And then maybe the screaming/crying started (complete with disgusted looks at the people who claimed to be fans who didn't know the song) And the person was not in her 30s at the time. of course not.
This just made my month; I found Lene Lovich performing 'Lucky Number'.

It's a good quality copy too. I suspect it's taken from the restrospective TotPs they were screening the the UK.
On east coast time, no way I'm heading to YouTube. I shall have to discover what I missed in the 80s another time.
there may have been screaming and crying and maybe calling my answering machine so that I would be able to relive the moment. Maybe.
Although this inspires me.
Old Forge? Hannibal? I can never remember. But yes! Let me know when you're headed this way, please!
Bothish. My place is 12 miles from Old Forge, in Otter Lake, NY. My niece lives in Hannibal and I am obliged to visit her there. But a side trip to see AmyLiz would make it so much more palatable.
I took a break and went and had a couple glasses of wine with my GF. She was watching the BET awards. She told me who everyone was and a bit of dirt on each. Also gave me a fashion show of the outfits she bought for a new job she starts on Monday. It was girly girl fun. Yay!
Dear YouTube, why don't you have the actual music video for "Bloodletting" by Concrete Blonde? I mean, yeah, I have it on the big video compilation that Hec made for me, but I wanted to put it on my iPod.
OMG, Pete, you need to listen to this.

That is pretty astonishing, ND.
I just finished watching the bizarre appearance of Bjork & Skunk Anansie performing 'Army of Me' together. It also features Goth!Bjork.
Speaking of iconic videos..."rockit" by Herbie Hancock: [link]
And if things weren't addictive enough, I found a Billy Connolly appearance on TotP which then led me to a slew of clips from his live acts over the years.
There goes the evening.
Damn it, I'm still watching these things.
Depeche Mode back when they looked like your high school chess club.

Speaking of which - do the members of Depeche Mode still claim to not understand why they have a big gay following?
