Real Talk Tuesdays: Comics

DateTuesday, February 21, 2012 at 9:00AM

In a discussion with a few friends this weekend, I admitted that I had never really gotten into comic books. Of course I had a few lying around as a kid. Random copies of Superman, The Lone Ranger, Archie - but I never collected them or pledged any amount of allegience to one specific hero. In retrospect it seems a bit abnormal. Oh well.

*Note: I always had a stack of Mad Magazines laying around. I spent my allowance money on it every month - but that's satire, not a true comic. Also, the shot below is from the Lone Ranger mini-comic that you got whenever you bought a Lone Ranger action figure. I had a few of these.

Throwback Thursdays: Joeski Love

DateThursday, July 14, 2011 at 8:53AM

In the early 80's I spent my entire allowance on Mad Magazine and hip-hop compilations.  One such compilation turned me on to a tune called "Pee Wee's Dance" by Joeski Love.  Still love this cut.  For the video, they even landed Mark Holton (who plays Francis in Pee Wee's Big Adventure).  Enjoy.
