Panama to Roundtown, interesting.

 

Yeah, dad was in the army, so I've lived in California, Colorado, Panama and the UK in the 80s.

I forgot about this

 

Vanessa Williams the first BLACK Miss America and Suzette Charles the runner up!

 

 

I LIVE for Ms. Vanessa Williams.  She's fierce!!!

SU alum! Unfortunately she 'left' about 6 years before I got there.

 

I did graduate the same year as Taye Diggs, although I didn't learn that until about 3 years ago when there was an update about him in the alumni newsletter.

^Jealous much?

No, but hes a bore, with pretty chocolate skin.

I am glad Vanessa Williams lost her crown after that Playboy spread.  If she hadn't of made that mistake, we might not of know her as the villianous Wilhemina (sp?) Slater today.

True.  But if it wasn't for her Kiss of the Spider Woman would have died a quick death on b'way.

 

Granted I love every single shady second of her on Ugly Betty.  She's girl after my own heart.

Ugh.. who invited Bob Dylan?

Being a teenager in the 80's pretty much sucked. When I saw this trailer for The Wrestler. I remember how popular that fake wrestling was. I got caught up in it. I can't believe it's still going. I preferred the 90s.

Blasphemy! As your penance you are required to identify no fewer than 20 of these singers. Bonus points of you can pinpoint the minute and second of Kenny Loggins' line.

The Canadians:

 

Tina Turner looks like a tranny in the WATW video!

 

 

Bob Dylan (blasphemy? Meh.. I really like the song "Hurricane", that's about it)

 

Btw, the reason I don't like Bob Dylan that much is because I can't stand his vocals. He's a good lyricist/poet but I can't stand the way he sings. He's a terrible singer. He's no Elvis or Johnny Cash by any means. Hurricane is one of my favorite songs though.

Two great cultural touchstones of the 80’s, and why I have never, ever been able to take either Tom Hanks or George Clooney seriously as actors:
