This is a blast from the past. I see satin bell bottoms, permed afros and polyester suits...with the sound of wah wah laden guitar in the background

I remember wearing corduroy bell bottoms in elementary school. My dad drinking Olympia beer with the pull off tops. Watching Ali fights on ABC and the agony of defeat.

My aunt would bring pong, she bought one when they first came out, to the family parties, it was the greatest thing since Wonder Bread.
And I had chains of beer can pop tops strung all around my basement room where we jammed to the lastest Aerosmith, AC/DC (with Bonn Scott), Van Halen (NOT Van Hagar), Zeppelin...etc....

The best skate shoe I ever had were the 1st gen Nike Air Jordan's

Those outlasted the Vision, Vans & Airwalks. Life in prision

I'm going to see if my local Block Buster has the vid.
