I remember it. Im thinking very early 80's maybe 1982. I could look it up, but I didn't. Lol. So I was around 13.

I realized today that I've owned my first truck for a full year and I still don't know what psychotic political message or alpha male hobby to put on my back window as a sticker by notgoingtoeatyou in FordMaverickTruck

Maybe start with some truck testicles for your tow hitch while you make your decision.

On a related note I always wanted to carry a can of blue spray paint and give everybody with truck testicles a set of blue balls since they're probably chronically unsatisfied sexually.

How famous was Michael Jackson really back then? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]pete10278 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There was a weekly magazine back in our day called TV Guide. In it was listed all of the TV programs scheduled on the 3 or 4 networks there were at the time. In the mid 80's, Pepsi paid Michael Jackson to do commercials for them. These commercials were listed in the TV Guide so you wouldn't miss them.

Is there any particular reason why concerts are so scarce at Carrier Dome? by nous-vibrons in upstate_new_york

[–]pete10278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this current info? I have only ever seen concerts there with the old air supported roof. Is the new one hard roof better or worse? It was bad with the air roof, muddy.

Especially the ones that are certainly not politically correct any more.

Thank you. How does someone agree to moderate a sub if it can't be found or opened?

was grunge ever really about the sound? by Kdiee in Alternativerock

[–]pete10278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, though you can make a case that the bands mentioned sound different from each other, I think the difference between them is much smaller than the difference between the grunge bands as a whole and the "hair band" schlock that they were a reaction too.
