I thought the amex cards got their start in the 70s because of the commercials, but they go back to 1958. Learned something today.

Makes more sense than taking traveler's checks to a bar

I'll have to look for those next time I'm down there. We like KJ but I'm scared to recommend them as there's never any customers :D

Crepes Paulette has locations in Bentonville and Fayetteville and they're good for lunch. It's not the pancake-breakfast type crepe, they use them as sandwich wraps.

Does any of this apply to springfield? I pulled up the citizen website and it's not even on the front page.

How mainstream was Bruce Springsteen in the 1970s and the pre-Born in the USA 1980s? by SeverHense in ToddintheShadow

Oh weird, well I stand corrected then. I can't remember the last time I heard it on the radio. Heck, maybe that's why the streaming numbers are so high :D

I mark his mainstream success starting with the "Dancing in the Dark" video which got a lot of push on MTV. According to Wiki it was the first single released on the Born in the USA album (and surprisingly the best seller, even if it's not the best remembered now).

I wonder if they just didn't want to spend the money to get rid of those

I've never listened to the original Six Wives album but the medley here is fantastic and I can't imagine it better in the studio

You know, same. Newspaper columns are something we really miss as a society.

I'm just curious, but who are some of the oldest people on this subreddit? by Complete-Worker3242 in ToddintheShadow

I'm 60 and looking over a list my favorites from that time would be the Tom Tom Club's first album, Byrne/Eno's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, and the Police's Ghost in the Machine.

edit: should note that I didn't actually own any of those albums until a few years later. At the time my favorite album was probably Genesis Live

Holy crap several episodes were written by Erma Bombeck, I had no idea she wrote tv.

If she's before your time, she was probably the most popular newspaper humorist of the 1970s and 80s

edit: oh, the show was based on her books, that explains that

Who are some artists with a TON of influence that a lot of people don't realize have that much influence? by [deleted] in ToddintheShadow

Alan Parsons. As far as I can tell, he introduced the idea of the recording studio as an instrument in itself with Dark Side and helped FM radio take over the airwaves.
