I LOVE Twisted Sister! Good Long Islanders. I know a lot of the guys in the forum are too young to remember when they were a legendary bar band and the drinking age was 18. Does Hammerheads still exist? I've had the opportunity to meet Dee several times. He's a nice guy and articulate, a good interview.

I saw him coming out of a jewelry store in Huntington one time -- all 6' 3" and blond curls of him with some pettite young thing (wife?) by his side. Was probably a bit after TS's peak of popularity.

Amazing that their peak passed while he was in the jewelry store with the engine running.

The next time he tried that Gold Card, they rejected him in song.

The 'Reens do a bang-up job covering "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree" and cleverly include covers of the Who's TOMMY song "Christmas" and the Ramones' "I don;t want to fight tonight". Deck your halls with your 60s inspired rock and/or roll!

JD: Where's that video of Billy Squire (Xmas is the time to say I love you)?

Boy, thanks to Billy and his wishes, my 1982 was awesome!

After all he did for MTV, they repay him by putting "Rock Me Tonite" in heavy rotation. Come on, Marta Quinn! Do something for Billy!

A great song! I've had it for years, and I had no idea that was Thin Lizzie and friends.

One day I'll take the time to learn how to imbed images and videos into these posts. Until then:

There's a little box beneath where it says About this Video, put the curser in the box, select, copy, and paste it here.

I always think of The Waitresses bemusedly. They were supposed to play at a senior week event right before I graduated college, but they broke up in the activity director's office right before they were supposed to go on. I don't know why I'm amused rather than pissed off over that, but for some odd reason it's a fun memory.

The picked up that tour with the bass player taking over on vocals. At least that's how they went on at Nassau CC.

Shockingly, I was the editor of the Nassau CC paper at the time! The singer, who was Holly Vincent from Holly and the Italians, actually came on stage with index cards with the lyrics on them. I love "Christmas Wrapping." And there's another gem on that Ze Christmas record, but only on some of the later pressings, called "It's a Big Country" by Davitt Seigerson (think I spelled the last name wrong.) Over the weekend I picked up the Twisted Sister DVD of their Christmas concert. It's songs from the album along with some of their classics. Good stuff -- and only $10.

I guess it was misreported to me or I misremembered. Sounds like you were a contemporary of my brother's at NCC.

Could have been another show or another year -- I get a sense that group was pretty, um, fluid. I was at NCC from fall 1982 to spring 1984 before going out to Missouri. They had some fun concerts! I was able to interview Joe Perry during his solo period. Joe was physically in the room, mentally.....

| Edgy DC Dec 17 2007 02:39 PM |

That's the period. I PM'd you my brother's name and a friend of his you might remember.

Coincidently, the radio station which operates out of NCC is going to run a (hour long?) program this week called 'A Very Eighties Christmas', which I'm sure will be chock-full of The Waitresses and other like stuff.

If you are interested, I blogged on what I think is the worst Christmas song ever on the Mets Guy blog.

Oates was singing. I mean, really.
|
| Edgy DC Dec 21 2007 09:46 PM |
|
That's a perfectly cromulent Oates vocal. The failure there is (1) the song is played out and they bring nothing new to it, and (2) the goofy mugging for the camera concept doesn't work at all.
