Stepping back a bit. As a solo teenager in 1977 and son of British parents I visited the UK (i had been there in 1973 also) In any case I felt I had to take in all the sights. Included in my ticket was a theatre show choice. I chose Rocky Horror, wow. I also felt I had to visit the Marquee Club (as I was a Stones and Bowie fan. Took me a while to actually find it and when I did I was perplexed about the small venue and tiny sign outside which read the bands. The Clash, The Police and more, none of which made any sense to me. As it happens, The Police WERE playing that evening. And, I met one of them who queried me seeing I was a Canadian tourist. He asked if I had heard of them. Nope, I replied. Within the year after my return Roxanne broke here in Canada. Good grief

You know it's been proven that a Dingo really did take Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton's baby and killed and she and the father Michael were released from prison! Heck the Australian government even had to pay them millions of dollars in a lawsuit! So why didn't you mention that?
I mean 4 different coroner's said so too! So it's not right for you people to just ignore that fact, it's basically like SLANDER! I noticed you have no problem talking about shit that happened later to other people, entertainers, but this you just totally ignore! I am sure those watching this, that don't know about what happened later, would have found that interesting too!

All offense intended: Rosie Ruez won the Boston Marathon. Today with all the proof that there are certain truths to fitness have mostly been debunked. the time has come for her to be vindicated.

Can I not be a fan of Rage Against the Machine AND absolutely HATE the NY Yankees at the same time? Yankee fans are just gross and the absolute worst kind of person, ever.

I wanted to like this, but your ignorant insult on Trump ruined it. I knew your take on the 80's would be biased and full of half truths.

I was born in 1980. I still consider it one of the best decades and I'm glad I got to grow and evolve with everything it had to offer.

In the year 2050, all physical media will be gone. Meaning that, you will no longer be able to buy physical media no more.

I remember watching the footage of Mount St. Helens erupting. It might be my earliest memory, seeing that I had just turned 3.

California passed a law against selling the Confederate flag. I guess freedom of the press went out the window.
