Ahh, to be young and in command of a fully stocked bar once again. When I was 19, I took command of the ubiquitously named "Bar 3" in Club Taboo, Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada. Since I was on the upper level of this "Bold New Concept In Dance Bars", and directly behind the DJ booth (Todd, where are ya buddy??), I listened to and helped influence the playing of every last one of these songs five nights a week, sometimes twice a night. The bar is still there, redesigned, but it'll never be the same. Most of the same staff is still there, however, as sad as that sounds. Nothing worse than a 40 year old bartender in a club that caters to the 18-23 set. Unless You like that kinda thing, of course ;) Look for the companion piece, reminiscing about Taboo's prettier cousin-bar, The Diamond Club, coming soon.

This is even cooler, it brings me back to lame school dances where everyone did the same dance and wore the same guess jeans. Everyone thought they were cool...the bastards never truly appreciated depeche mode.

Or even better, the way all the girls got into a big circle and danced while the guys all sat on the bleachers and watched the girls dance in a big circle. Except for that one outcast who used to breakdance, thinking it would help him fit in. To all you white kids who go to a predominantly white high school, in the country, where AC/DC and Sabbath are considered Easy Listening, breakdancing isn't the way to go to make friends. Not being ignorant, just trying to pass on some of my 31 years of wisdom.
