Way Gone Wednesdays: Motley Crue

I guess Motley Crue is calling it quits. Gotta be honest - I didn't even realize that they were still a thing. During road trips for my high school basketball team I usually heard one of three albums; "Appetite for Destruction" by Guns N' Roses, "Back in Black" by AC/DC or "Dr. Feelgood" by Motley Crue. I recognize these as classics but it usually prompted me to bring my headphones and study Public Enemy and The D.O.C. But fuck it, let's send these leather clad, mall haired old bitties off in style. Boom.

Throwback Thursdays: Bobby Brown

Back in 1988 when our basketball team had road trips, we would load up and head out to some remote Indiana town. The driver would always play (by request) one of the following albums: Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood, AC/DC Back in Black or Guns 'N Roses' Appetite for Distruction. You could always find me with a pair of headphones rockin' the Def Jam catalog or in some cases, Don't Be Cruel by Bobby Brown. Still love the slow jam, Roni. Dig it.
