"There’s a local bar band called “The Reagan Years”."

The local 80's bar band down here is called, "The Molly Ringwalds" :-)

That’s the way to do it. My kids know a lot of 80s music, too.

MTV is like so many networks that have changed from when they first went on the air.

A lot of people probably don’t know what the acronyms stand for. Here are some: ESPN, A&E, CNBC, VH1, BET. Maybe this might be too easy.

So many channels have gone off the air over the decades through acquisitions, mergers, or some other reason.

Interesting that they have this 30 year anniversary thing for MTV on VH1 instead of MTV itself.

What’s up — MTV can’t interrupt its current schedule of Teen Mom and other reality crapola?????

What’s the point of “Music Television”, MTV, if they don’t play music anymore????? In a world of hundreds of cable and satellite channels, with channels for specific programming, why doesn’t MTV live up to its name anymore?

ESPN = Entertainment and Sports Programming Network
A & E = Arts and Entertainment
CNBC = Consumer News and Business Channel
VH1 = Video Hits One
BET = Black Entertainment Television

This could be fun. Some others :

CSPAN = Cable Satellite Public Affairs Network
HBO = Home Box Office

Yeah, totally!

“hey girl, would you like some wine?”
“What’s your name? Are you by yourself?”
“Are you the one? What’s your sign? Can I take you home?”

Classic Graham Bonnet. Powerful voice, hot chick in the vid, good musicianship.
