Hey everyone,
i just read a few posts about ed snorting some coke at the hartford show.. I
just wanted to point out that if you watched the damn video close enough you
would notice that someone handed ed a bunch of flowers.. ed held them up to his
nose to smell them.. then he puts them down. then a minute or so later. he
picks them up again, breaks a bunch of pedels off and smells them.. then he
rubs the pedels all over his chest... simple as that. He did it at a few other
shows as well as the hartford show. I remember this from personal experience
but i watched the video again to verify. I suggest to everyone who though that
he was actually doing drugs during daughter to watch that part again, you will
see what i mean

I remember hearing something about that. I remember that Mighty Mouse
was my favorite cartoon when I was growing up. I tell ya, the 80's had
the best cartoon shows- Transformers, G.I. Joe, He-Man, Mighty Mouse,
Superman (the Ruby-Spears property), Thundercats, etc. What WASN'T cool
back in those days???

I don't think a rock star has ever done drugs onstage before. For the
reasons you mention, a strong police presence, nothing to gain,
everything to lose. It would be an idiotic thing. When an audience
member would throw a joint to Robert Plant onstage back in the Zep days,
I'm pretty sure he surrenedered them to the local police immediatley for
fear of being arrested.

Kind of irrelevant, but I know for a fact that Snoop Doggy Dogg (Snoop Dog) was
smoking pot on stage at Lollapalooza in Seattle a few years back.

I always thought of GoBots as being a Transformers rip off. I never
bought them for that reason. Even as a kid I could smell corporate
bullshit. :o)

I guess I didn't see it as being that. As a kid, if I saw something that I
liked, I could care less about its beginnings and what other people thought,
I just knew that I liked it.

I also remember the big space lego craze too. That was awesome.

Here's something that I have seen a couple of times and thought was pretty
cool. It's amazing, I remember doing almost everything listed in this piece
of writing. Enjoy:

Children of the Eighties:

I am a child of the eighties. That is what I prefer to be called. The
nineties can do without me. Grunge isn't here to stay, fashion is fickle and
"Generation X" is a myth created by some over-40 writer trying to figure out
why people wear flannel in the summer. When I got home from school, I played
with my Atari 2600. I spent hours playing Pitfall or Combat or Breakout or
Dodge'em Cars or Frogger. I never did beat Asteroids. Then I watched "Scooby
Doo." Daphne was a Goddess, and I thought Shaggy was smoking something
synthetic in the back of their psychedelic van. I hated Scrappy.

I would sleep over at friends' houses on the weekends. We played army with
G.I. Joe figures, and I set up galactic wars between Autobots and
Decepticons. We stayed up half the night throwing marshmallows and Velveeta
at one another. We never beat the Rubik's Cube.

I got up on Saturday mornings at 6 a.m. to watch bad Hanna-Barbera cartoons
like "The Snorks," "Jabberjaw," "Captain Caveman," and "Space Ghost." In
between I would watch "School House Rock." ("Conjunction Junction, what's
your function?")

On weeknights Daisy Duke was my future wife. I was going to own the General
Lee and shoot dynamite arrows out the back. Why did they weld the doors
shut? At the movies the Nerds got Revenge on the Alpha Betas by teaming up
with the Omega Mus. I watched Indiana Jones save the Ark of the Covenant,
and wondered what Yoda meant when he said, "No, there is another."

Ronald Reagan was some old guy. Gorbachev was the guy who built a McDonalds
in Moscow. My family took summer vacations to the Gulf of Mexico and
collected "Muppet Movie" glasses along the way. (We had the whole set.) My
brother and I fought in the back seat. At the hotel we found creative uses
for Connect Four pieces like throwing them in that big air conditioning
unit.

I listened to John COUGAR Mellencamp sing about Little Pink Houses for Jack
and Diane. I was bewildered by Boy George and the colors of his dreams, red,
gold, and green. MTV played videos. Nickelodeon played "You Can't Do That on
Television" and "Dangermouse." HBO showed Mike Tyson pummel everybody except
Robin Givens, the bad actress from "Head of the Class" who took all Mike's
cashflow.

I drank Dr. Pepper. "I'm a Pepper, you're a Pepper, wouldn't you like to be
a Pepper, too?" Shasta was for losers. TAB was a laboratory accident. Capri
Sun was a social statement. Orange juice wasn't just for breakfast anymore,
and bacon had to move over for something leaner.

My mom put a thousand Little Debbie Snack Cakes in my Charlie Brown lunch
box, and filled my Snoopy Thermos with grape Kool-Aid. I would never eat the
snack cakes, though. Did anyone? I got two thousand cheese and cracker snack
packs, and I ate those.

I went to school and had recess. I went to the same classes everyday. Some
weird guy from the eighth grade always won the science fair with the working
hydro-electric plant that leaked on my project about music and plants. They
just loved Beethoven.

Field day was bigger than Christmas, but it always managed to rain just
enough to make everybody miserable before they fell over in the three-legged
race. Where did all those panty hose come from? "Deck the Halls with
Gasoline, fa la la la la la la la la," was just a song.

Burping was cool. Rubber band fights were cooler. A substitute teacher was a
baby-sitter/marked woman. Nobody deserved that.

I went to Cub Scouts. I got my arrow-of-light, but never managed to win the
Pinewood Derby. I got almost every skill award but don't remember ever doing
anything.

The world stopped when Challenger exploded. Did a teacher come in and tell
your class?

Half of your friends' parents got divorced.

People did not just say no to drugs.

AIDS started, but you knew more people who had a grandparent die from
cancer.

Somebody in your school died before they graduated.

When you put all this stuff together, you have my childhood. If this stuff
sounds familiar, then I bet you are one, too. We are children of the
eighties. That is what I prefer "they" call it.

And vice versa. I gotta say that I was more into She-Ra. Maybe it was
the more sophisticated storylines. Maybe it was the cooler looking
sword and badder baddies. Or maybe it was b/c I liked seeing a cute
blonde run around in almost nothing and fighting bad guys on her
unicorn. Hey, I was only seven years old fer cryin' out loud! :o)

OK Shannon. Here's one, just for you, that has a more feminine touch:

Children of the Eighties
We are the children of the Eighties. We are not the first "lost
generation" nor today's lost generation; in fact, we think we know
just where we stand - or are discovering it as we speak.
We are the ones who played with Lego Building Blocks when they were
just building blocks and gave Malibu Barbie crewcuts with safety
scissors that never really cut.
We collected Garbage Pail Kids and Cabbage Patch Kids and My Little
Ponies and Hot Wheels and He-Man action figures and thought She-Ra
looked just a little bit like I would when I was a woman. Big Wheels
and bicycles with streamers were the way to go, and sidewalk chalk was
all you needed to build a city.
Imagination was the key. It made the Ewok Treehouse big enough for
you to be Luke and the kitchen table and an old sheet dark enough to be
a tent in the forest. Your world was the backyard and it was all you
needed. With your pink portable tape player, Debbie Gibson sang back
up to you and everyone wanted a skirt like the Material Girl and a glove
like Michael Jackson's.
Today, we are the ones who sing along with Bruce Stringsteen and The
Bangles perfectly and have no idea why. We recite lines with the
Ghostbusters and still look to The Goonies for a great adventure. We
flip through T.V. stations and stop at The A Team and Knight Rider
and Fame and laugh with The Cosby Show and Family Ties and Punky
Brewster and what you talkin' 'bout Willis? We hold strong affections for
The Muppets and The Gummy Bears and why did they take the Smurfs off the
air? After school specials were only about cigarettes and step-families,
the Pokka Dot Door was nothing like Barney, and aren't the Power Rangers
just Voltron reincarnated?
We are the ones who still read Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, the
Bobbsey Twins, Beverly Clearly and Judy Blume, Richard Scary and the
Electric Company.
Friendship bracelets were ties you couldn't break and friendship
pins went on shoes - preferably hightop Velcro Reebox - and pegged
jeans were in, as were Units belts and layered socks and jean jackets
and jams and charm necklaces and side pony tails and just tails.
Rave was a girl's best friend; braces with colored rubberbands made you
cool. The backdoor was always open and Mom served only red Kool-Aid to
the neighborhood kids- never drank New Coke.
Entertainment was cheap and lasted for hours. All you needed to
be a princess was high heels and an apron; the Sit'n'Spin always made
you dizzy but never made you stop; Pogoballs were dangerous weapons and
Chinese Jump Ropes never failed to trip someone. In your Underoos you
were Wonder Woman or Spider Man or R2D2 and in your treehouse you were
king.
In the Eighties, nothing was wrong. Did you know the president was
shot? Star Wars was not only a movie. Did you ever play in a bomb
shelter? Did you see the Challenger explode or feed the homeless man? We
forgot Vietnam and watched Tiananman's Square on CNN and bought pieces
of the Berlin Wall at the store. AIDS was not the number one killer in the
United States. We didn't start the fire, Billy Joel. In the Eighties,
we redefined the American Dream, and those years defined us. We are the
generation in between strife and facing strife and not turning our
backs. The Eighties may have made us idealistic, but it's that idealism
that will push us and be passed on to our children - the first children
of the twenty-first century. Never forget: We are the children of the
Eighties.

couple of my friends (one of whom gave me a couple of those pins...)

The white Optimus Prime actually WASN'T Optimus Prime. It was Ultra
Magnus. He was basically a fuck up (he got blown to bits and later
re-assembled in the Transformers movie) and was a temporary replacement
for Prime after he died. The permanent replacement was Rodimus Prime
(aka HotRod). Now THAT dude was cool! My favorite was Cup tho b/c he

Transformers were the favorite part of my childhood. I had quite a big
collection.......I'd say one of my favs of the top of my head were the
yellow and purple, were they called Decepticons, I forgot, but 5 or 6
of them made one huge dude.
Then of course the Dinobots were pretty damn awesome. I remember
I found the Stegosauros in a neighbor's trashcan. I think I had all of
them. I loved the Trisaratops.
My cousin had the old Megatron gun. It was in perfect condition too.
I kept trying to buy it off him, but he would never do it.
These new Transformers are pretty ridiculous.

No shit! Corporate sell outs! Heh heh, I love using that term. :o)
Have you seen Transformers- The Next Generation, or whatever it's
called? I saw an episode a few years ago and it's NOT the next
generation. It's the 80's "generation" rehashed with a few new change
over sequences, whoopty friggin' do.

IMHO, the reason the kids of today are so violent is b/c they never had
cool cartoons to watch (Transformers, GI Joe, Thundercats, etc). All
they have to watch are The Mighty Morphine Power Addicts and
Teletubbies. Poor slobs. A steady diet of that would make *anyone*
homicidal. Just my opinion tho.

Oh yeah. I've got a serious mind to buy that movie when I have enough
cash. I'm broke (hey, I'm 18, lay off). Anyway, I'd buy it just to
get my Cup fix. :o)

The weird thing is that, for a cartoon, that movie was pretty deep- self
sacrifice, team work, family heirlooms, fuck it's all there! You can
get the same thing in a Care Bears movie, mind you, but not in such an
entertaining and violent fasion. Great stuff.

Okay, let's just get one thing straight on our Hazard county family trees. Bo
and Luke were cousins. As well as Vance, Coy, and Daisy. None of which were
siblings.


Now a tirade------->
I know a LOT about the Dukes. I was pushing a Duke film until TNN made that
shitty one. My story had the ATF, a "Freeman" type militia compound,
deception, a new General Lee, betrayal, ALL the characters, (including L.B. on
the CB and Sheriff Little from the next county),
soundtrack deals for major country and southern rock artists. Maybe even a bit
part for Jeff Gordan. And they gotta put together this crappy little, low
production value, reunion crap with a story deserving of its cable network
premiere. Fuckers. Yes, I'm bitter. Yes, I could have done it better. Damn
rat bastards. It would have been nice to have a big time production.
If you listened this long, you are more bored than me at this point.

well, I never even heard of the new movie, so that goes to show how
popular it was... I say keep pushing your movie... I'm a film writer
myself, I know how very discouraging it can be when someone steels your
bitchin idea (even if they technically didn't STEEL it, but simply did
it before you, it FEELS like fucking steeling)... did I ever post about
my Willy Wonka movie (wrote the damn script even)? I was REALLY excited
about that, and then I find out that Warners is putting one in the works
right now with Nic Cage :(

oh well...

were you thinking like, Mat Damon and Mathew Maconnohey in the lead,
with Drew Berrymore as Daisy Dukes?

Do any of you guys remember the Ghostbusters craze? I remember when they
made the life size guns with the foam squiggly things in them that spun
around. Those were awesome!

And what about the old 8 bit Nintendo system? I was at my friends house the
other day and we spent 3 hours playing River City Ransom and Mike Tyson's
Punch Out! I love those games....I miss excite bike...

The best Nintendo game there ever was (cue 2001 music) The Legend Of
Zelda. But as far sports go, Mike Tyson's Punch Out can't be beat.
Glass Joe was always the easiest. God it's scary how clearly I remember
that stuff, but I can't remember my Economic notes for the life of me.

you can't be serious... how can something as blatently "corprate" as a
children's cartoon show ever "sell out"

you're kidding, right?

no, I'm a fan... I've just never had any delusions about what it was (at
least, not sense I've CARED about what it was... when I was little I
didn't give a shit about who paid who and the "intention" behind it as
an artform... I just liked big robots)... Transformers, like most kids
shows, is a marketing tool... I just thought it was funny the way he was
like, calling the new version a corporate sell out or something, when
like... it's like... sold out from what? that's like calling Disney a
sell out company.

river city ransom was great. i can remember spending an entire day trying to
beat that game w/ some friends. guy a Game Boy Color and harass nintendo and
they'll release updated versions of all of the good NES games. they've already
started and it's really determined by demand.

This is just my personal view, but Disney IS a sellout company. They own
EVERYTHING and combine everything. One big example is my beloved ESPN and
then ABC. Disney owns both, and intermingles both. Like you'll see spots
for ABC's Monday Night Football on Sportscenter, but you see nothing about
CBS or FOX football. I also wonder how much money Disney has paid McDisney
(McDonalds) to pump up EVERY animated movie they release.

Disney is a conformist company and should be stopped.

well although i don't hold disney in the same regard as mcdonalds (and that
may jsut be due to lack of information on my part) i think we ought to be
suspicious of them. i know they go around buying large patches of land
globally, but very quietly. what for? what are their plans? why the
secrecy?
also they have some pretty nasty stereotyping going on in their films.
last time i was there i was like 21 and with my friends...we were kind of
high and we saw goofy come out of his little secret door. we waited for
him to come over and since we were the only ones there at the moment, he
did. as we were giggling at him his eyelashes fell off, onto the ground.
the horror! we didn't want some small child to come along and be shattered
so we picked them up and gave them back to him. he snatched them and
stormed off (goofy!) and came back moments later with a security type
person. we were trying to help, and goofy thought we were these vandals
that ripped his eyelashes off! the nerve he had, that ingrate.
so disney can bite me.

of course, that's my whole point... that's the whole fucking point. It's
ridicules. Calling the Transformers a "sell out" is totally silly,
because it's not like they ever had roots in art or anything... they
were corporate entity from the beginning, and calling them a sell out
infers that they were ever anything else. Just like if Disney were to
suddenly do something that someone disagreed with, and they were to go
"now they've sold out..."

That was my point.

all though... i think Disney is wonderful, and should be embraced. They
should be stopped? Why?

by the way, I fucking HATE the phrase sold out. It doesn't exist.

Yep, i tend to agree, i have a coke problem too, I can't stand Diet Coke for
more that one or 2 cans a week, a spoonful of suger makes the medicine go
down, 20 dollars will make most streetwalkers.
