    I can’t quite explain it but I watch these videos almost like it’s a time machine; I imagine what I was doing at the moment Nelson was filming these videos. I would’ve been 10, so yeah a little young, but I would have seen The Lost Boys during the past summer, and I try to remember what I was doing in November 1987. I remember school that year, friends and meals with family. It’s strange but these certainly help me remember the past.

      They were dancing to Madonna Commotion I was about 13 and a group of friends and I saw who's that girl. That's what remember about that year. Such cool times in the 80's. Every year of the 80s seemed to have a new theme or fashion music was so diverse. Since we entered a new millenia everything seems so homogenised! For me the last 20 years have been not so memorable.

      It's a Time Machine for me too! I was 16 in '87. That summer was amazing!
      I had my own 15 minutes of fame and was so fearless and happy then! I wish I could find that person again. In November, I was in school too, but kept busy with music and dancing besides several boyfriends that year. My art teacher planned a trip to New York in early '89. It fell through. Now I realize how much we all missed! Incredible to think about.

    • @notsoseriousmoonlight
      @notsoseriousmoonlight Před 6 lety +1

      It was only regional fame, I did lots of television and public appearances as an ambassador for a local organization. I got to meet dignitaries from all over the world, rock & country musicians, Miss America and all kinds of cool people everywhere! When I went back to school after the summer of '87 was over, people treated me differently because I'd been on TV. Ha! I doubt many people outside of the Memphis tri-state area would remember this though (if any by this time)! The only thing that haunts me is that there is videotape out there, somewhere, people have told me but I've yet to see it, that could resurface - including one crazy Cablevision appearance, which was actually my favorite! I never know when I might find something cringe-worthy right here on good ol' YT! ;)

    It was 1987, I was a 16 year old boy in rural Virginia, reading about these people in the nightlife section of Details magazine.
    I eventually made it to NY and lost my sweet mind on the dancefloors of the city.

After my friend got kicked out for trying to buy some party "stuff", we went to Twilo.. another awesome club.. but I don't know if, like tunnel, it was around in the 80s.

    Happy birthday Nelson. Thank you. Always so glad to see more of Liz and Nelson - and the camera just loves her. The bit where he was embarrassed and proud as she was rambling on and on about his mix tapes made me smile. Their relationship seems to true, not fake. And I love all the bits of talk we get with other people, dropping in and out. And the little vocal performance by the Pop Tatrs and whoever that woman was - great harmonies.
