And although I am truly over my little 'tween crush from 1991 (so yes - it was the 90's), I can still recite all the words to "Ice Ice Baby," and I can't resist bobbing my head up and down when I hear it played. Makes me think that in another 20 years we might see Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers playing at the McKay Events center among a bunch of college kids making fun of the clothing from the "00's"Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04670517075161228378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-63372542266615234042009-03-02T22:44:00.000-07:002009-03-02T22:44:00.000-07:00You DIDN'T really say Neil Diamond, did you?Ok, I ...You DIDN'T really say Neil Diamond, did you?<BR/><BR/>Ok, I thought not---whew, that was a close one.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04305357810894657905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-42613992953415104122009-03-02T16:59:00.000-07:002009-03-02T16:59:00.000-07:00OK I am an occasional blog stalker of yours and I ...OK I am an occasional blog stalker of yours and I am fascinated with your dog fostering, however I had to read this post twice to see if you were totally serious or just pulling my leg on the whole Vanilla Ice/MC Hammer thing.

Whenever I think of 80's it is dominated by Duran Duran and Thompson Twins.<BR/>I have to admit I disappointed that you have no footage of the concert to share with us.

It has to be more of an ironic appreciation for things I THOUGHT were cool as a child. Also, I wanted to go to that show, more for bragging rights than anything, but it was too pricey to justify. <BR/><BR/>The only thing that actually had its heyday in the 80s was cartoons, in my humble opinion.Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13478587473092920849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-51076222927142434202009-02-28T11:02:00.001-07:002009-02-28T11:02:00.001-07:00I really don't feel bad for missing it, and the th...I really don't feel bad for missing it, and the three songs I know.

So funny. My favorite part was hearing about all the girls dressed up like Madonna in the early 80's. Didn't they do any research?
