Yes! I agree. I guess this is supposed to be a "nostalgic" fond memory thread. Well, okkk....
(keep in mind I was only 13? in the 7th grade, att) All I remember in '87 was this weird video on MTV with a crazy lady sashaying her skirt back and forth in this very (peter Gabriel style movie) and I thought "Who the hell is
THIS NEW band?" Of course the images of LB and the music itself caught my attention. I had to find out more....
Only on the 2nd or 3rd time seeing this video, did I realise that the crazy lady was Stevie Nicks, the lady that I knew at that time for TTM, ICW, SB.
Well, it was all over from there...I went to the mall with my sis and cousins from KY that summer and bought my 1st FM album on cassette. Music and cassettes were a big part of my life then...and o/c I wanted to play them in ANY car I rode in.
It seems I had also bought Wham! Make It Big at the time....b'c all I remember was my (male) cousins, who were driving revolting to my music choices and exclaiming "They are fags!"
So,
We didn't get to hear my precious FM or Wham! But on this occasion, a FAN was made.
I'll never forget my 7th grade year and the brilliant music my ear was exposed to that year. I even remember exclaiming to my 8th grade English teacher in '88 that I "had FM GH's"; her not-impressed reply: "Well, so do I".
Gosh, was I green back then, but well intelligent beyond my years... how I have grown to Love the '80's!
