Cashing In On MTV’s Success As many of you are aware, I grew up in rural Louisiana with very few options when it came to television. My family could watch local ABC, NBC, and CBS affiliates as well as PBS and an independent station (when the weather was right) that would eventually become a FOXContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Friday Night Videos (1983-2002)”

Outpost: TRF 2021
Taking a trip back in time….. On the weekend of November 6th, myself and my daughter ventured out to the Texas Renaissance Festival in Todd Mission, TX. Neither one of us are strangers to the event as we have both attended the festival every year since 2007 or 2008 (I can’t quite remember) with myselfContinue reading “Outpost: TRF 2021”
November Noise: Vixen (1988)
“I don’t need your shoulder….” The late 1980’s found me comfortably nestled into a rock cradle. I was listening to bands like Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, Guns n’ Roses, and more hard rock and glam acts. One of the bands that slipped into my listening queue was Vixen, one of the mostContinue reading “November Noise: Vixen (1988)”
Throwback Thursday: Dazed And Confused (1993)
“Just keep livin, man. L-I-V-I-N.” 1993 was a big year for me. It was the year that I entered my senior year of high school.

Flash forward nearly thirty years later and I’m still a nobody,Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: Dazed And Confused (1993)”

November Noise: Too Fast For Love, Mötley Crüe, 1981
“Cuz I’m alive……” Mötley Crüe was the first “bad” band that I ever listened to as a kid. With their Satanic imagery, lyrics about rock staples such as sex, drugs, alcohol, and doing pretty much whatever you wanted to do as a youngster in the 1980’s, I was forbidden to listen to them. Because ofContinue reading “November Noise: Too Fast For Love, Mötley Crüe, 1981”
Throwback Thursday: KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park (1978)
“Ack!!!” Friends, family, and regular readers of this blog are aware that I am a huge KISS fan. I’ve heard pretty much every track that they’ve released, watched all of their videos, and spent countless hours watching and listening documentaries, interviews, etc. with the band. The one thing that I haven’t done is watch KISSContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park (1978)”
