  1. My family actually had another type of rival format called Video Disc, which predated VHS (at least in availability in our area). It was a disc encased in a hard plastic case, which you had to feed into the player. You also had to flip it over halfway through the film. We rented them just like VHS starting around '82? We were loyal for several years, but eventually it was overtaken by VHS and we switched over.

     

    My mom bought Jane Fonda's workout on Videodisc...

    Yup, CED's! These come up briefly. I have spent a lot of time on the Internet reading about these things because I am obviously super cool and productive.


  2. Arthur Brown is one of the pioneers of progressive rock. Don't lump him in with your shame videos Mr. Jake Fogelnest. That is very unprofessional; you know nothing about rock.

     

    Buddy, if you don't think Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come isn't next on my list, you underestimate my commitment to discussing the silliness of prog rock.

     

    P.S. There's Zappa talk coming too!

  3. Special request:

    I am desperately trying to find a clip that I'm convinced Andy Kindler would love. Here is all I can remember:

     

    early 90s I think. handsome young stand-up comic (impressionist), dark hair, had only one act which was asking you to imagine if all the singers were eating at the same restaurant. It might go something like this...

     

    "Axl rose would be like 'theressss a fly in my soup' and then Elton John would be like "theresss a fly in my soup toooo" and Cher would be like "can I get a napkinnnnn".

     

    Does anyone here know this guys name? I'm going blind trying to google up a clip. I really want Andy Kindler to enjoy it!

     

    Please, please, please find this.
