I remember when it debuted. It was serious for a few weeks and then it went bananas. Gallagher and Pee Wee Herman got their start there.

I'm gonna play my tuba!!!!!!

I was just a kid, but i remeber this and the Muppet Show were my favorites.

 

I can't believe that Oingo Blongo, they needed Danny Elfman's Musical Direction. The Horns were impressive.

Elfman's one of those musical genius guys.

Didn't he do the music score for the first Batman Movie?

Yeah, and The Simpsons and countless other High Profile Projects. He was the Singing Voice in Nightmare Before Christmas and Scored the movie, of course. He's great with Incidental Music, but my favorite stuff was Oingo Boingo. Dark and Poppy at the same time. Very different stuff, and Steve Bartek is one Underrated Guitar Player.

Yeah, I agree with you about Steve Bartek. I love listening to Boingo. I grew up in So. Cal so you know I was exposed to them quite a bit. I regret never seeing them in concert though. Their annual Halloween Show was always a big thing.

This growing trend towards classic black & white movie star avatars is making me wonder if you lack the depth that color brings to all good pictures. That or you lack sufficient cones in your retina's to know your posting non color pics.

Steve really shines on Nothing to Fear (the whole album). We should have seen them when we had the chance :-#

ralph the Dog was always my favorite, he was Cool and played piano. Although Sam the eagle made me laugh more.

Nothing says old movie like Black and White.

Wicked1 quote of the day, as observed and heard by me:

 

"It is better to ride on a yak then to yak on a monk."

 

Words to live by...yeh, words to live by.

See Holmz' date=' color's cool, but it just doesn't jump out like a Black and White.[/quote']

 

Yeah, but I like that faded Tecno-color from the 60's and early 70's. That's my time. Not the B/W from the 50's and before.

Well, I'll leave Clouseau up for a day. Or actually, in honor of The Gong Show......
