Blast from the Past




Ok, last night Mason was flipping throught the satellite channels. We are pretty familiar with the channels we get. Every once in awhile they change the programming and we get channels we didn't get before.

Now for those of you that don't know, Mason is really into the bands from the 70's &80's. He likes Kansas, Poison, Steve Miller Band, AC/DC, and several others. Anyways, he went to VH1Classic last night because there was a Led Zepplin concert on. It came in! He was so excited. (I was excited that we got the channel)

He was searching through the guide and saw that Totally 80's videos came on at 5 am. He asked me to get him up so he could watch them. OH MY GOODNESS!! I laughed so hard at some of the "cool" videos from my day.

I had forgotten all about DeBarge and New Edition. We have seen Genesis, Heuy Lewis & the News is on right now. We saw Elton John in a powdered wig and Bon Jovi when they all had LONG hair. It has been so much fun watching these with my son.

Do you remember "You can call me Al" by Paul Simon and the video featuring Chevy Chase? What fun! It's amazing how ridiculous everyone looked back then. And we thought it was cool. I am so glad Mason found it. Tears for Fears, LoL

Mason also found the Boomerang channel. It is all the old cartoons. You remember don't you. Foghorn Leghorn, Roadrunner and Wylie E. Coyote, Speedracer and all those good cartoons. I feel like I'm back in my childhood.

You should check those channels out if you get a chance, oh the memories!!

That is fun. What I seem to find when I revisit my youth is that we listened to and watched a lot of inappropriate things! Have you really ever payed attention to the lyrics of Greased Lightening? Sheesh, I was oblivious! My kids love boomerang too.
