Of course you were cool! Everyone's cool in their own era

Grad Nite '95 didn't have anything nearly that cool

I was born 10 years to late I tells ya! I have a crappy bootleg of this clip on VHS, very cool clip.

Wow. I was 6 in 86.
Just for reference nothing cool happened at Grad Night 97 either.
There are only a few bands I am glad that I got to see live while they were still pretty cool or the memebers weren't dead yet: The B-52's, Nirvana, Sublime there are a couple of others but they escape me right now.....

I think it is Videopolis, which became the Wonderbra (er, Fantasyland) Theater.

Hey hey hey. I responded to that thread. The sad part is I saw that catalog a couple of weeks ago and I made of fun of the watermelon outfit. I mean it has a big damn watermelon on it!! I also am not such a huge fan of those slouchy gold or other brightly colored leathery handbags that are so poplular. I guess I like more structure.....

Hey hey. But my sister graduated in 86. So yes I do remember the times. I also remember her serious obsession for Duran Duran....

[jdramj]

yeah...there was nothing wrong with Boingo or Duran Duran in my book!

I saw the B-52's in concert. With the Violent Femmes as their opening act. Why can't I get just one screw? Believe me I know what to do... Aww..femme-ories.

Long live the 80's! I'm typing to the strains of Bronski Beat on my Ipod.


My Grad Night was '91, and the hot acts I got to see were C&C Music Factory and En Vogue. Come to think of it, years earlier I saw El DeBarge at Videopolis.

Aw, Grad Night. Nothing like riding the train over and over with exhausted, desperate for sleep, blood shot-eyes as the sun rises and your boyfriend is passed out cold. Good times.

Hey Ally I might be able to top you. While seeing El DeBarge was awesome, I have to admit I did see one of the most craptastic acts ever. Now while it may not have been a grad night at DL, I did see dum dum dummmmmmmmmmmmmmm........ RIGHT SAID FRED in concert at Magic Mountain of all places. DL was way too high class to have them at ANY function in the park. Plus they were super tacky and FYI, I did not WANT to go to the show. I was DRAGGED there by my insane sister who loved them.


And hey I never said there was anything wrong with Duran Duran or Boingo. I only got to see Duran Duran when they were making their comeback and I never got to see Boingo. Hey, Listening to 80's music and old punk tunes reminds me of my childhood. (How many kids can say when they were 3 their favorite song was stray cat strut and knew all the words to God Save the Queen? )
