Cool Vids

I listened to the whole thing. Very cool music pioneer days.

I lived in Laurel MD for about 7 years in the mid-late 80's to early 90's and I don't remember that station. I was more of a DC101 Greaseman fan.

Here in Cleveland, we had WMMS and the buzzard.

SWEEEEEEEEET ! ! !
I love "Underground" radio from back in the day. Small local stations that were willing to be different and take a chance. I remember hearing AC/DC on WHFS way before anyone even knew who they were here in the states.
I'm sure "WKRP in Cincinnati" (the TV show) was conceived and written with that type of radio in mind. There's just something about that type of freedom..............before Cooperate gets involved and ruins it. :notrust:
Awesome :headbang:

In honor of them bringing back the HFStival this year (Today actually 9/21/24), I'll post this link. WHFS was definitely a big deal when I was growing up. There was absolutely no other radio station like them. Quirky, Nerdy, Weird, Play and do whatever the hell you want to, kind of station, put together and built with garbage, scrap radio parts (somehow). LOL
The HFStival is an annual Washington, D.C. / Baltimore rock festival. At its peak, the HFStival was the largest yearly music festival on the East Coast, drawing 55,000 to 90,000 people.
Click the link, press play, Full Screen it........and enjoy. It's LONG, so grab a 6-Pack on ice and put your feet up. :friday::beerchug::headbang:
To anyone who knows of or who remembers WHFS, I think you'll like this.

Yeah. It's scary.

Can't imagine where we'll be with this in just a mere 10 years from now, not to even think about 20 or 30 years down the road. It's gonna happen so fast. Just remember where you were when it all started. Can't imagine a future decades down the road without "real" actors or "real" musicians, where everything is just AI Generated and manipulated. Not sure I like the thought of that, but I still find it all fascinating. It'll be perfected to the point that there's no way you will ever be able to tell.......churning it out like processed meat :worried:

I know there are some Nuno Bettencourt super fans out there.
These are both just over 11 minutes long, but are really good.
The first he plays during the interview (which is not like him at all), and the second he talks about his upbringing and finds it difficult to go back and visit his childhood home.
So many of these super talented artists come from such humble beginnings. Enjoy ....... :headbang:

I thought I'd dig this one up from Dec. 2004 back when DeNiro was still kinda relevant.
Although he had to pause for a split second, he never broke character. I'll give him credit for that.
Those dam High School and Collage Kids...............:laugh:

Pretty funny video. Stupid AI you put the head on backwards.

The next gender-affirming surgery? :27:

Ha ha ha ha ha ......... yeah, sumpthin like that. "Hey... I ordered the Rachel Welch, NOT the Rosie O'Donnell....... what the hell???????"
I also had flashbacks to a super low budget cheezy B-list cult film from the early 70's with Rosey Grier (monster defensive lineman) called The Thing With Two Heads. It was god awful horrible, but we'd laugh our ass off at the pathetic Dollar Store style special effects that they tried to pass off as real. It was soooo bad that it made it funny. :lmao::lmao:

I have no words........... I don't know weather to laugh or be completely amazed. Definitely a WTF moment. I can already hear the jokes at the local stand-up Comedy Clubs.
When's the stock going to be available????? :laugh:

 

[Epic]

I just like this for the SOUND. Suck it EV's ! ! ! ! :lmao::lmao:
​And notice that no one has their face buried in their smartphone. Real life is so much better.
Wish I had the money to afford a hobby like this........
Crank it. Sub-Woofer to 11......

Just revisiting this one. Over 11 years old, and it spoke to me loud and clear when I first saw it, even though I wasn't the "Young Person" any longer that he was addressing. It describes my path in life to a tee. I found it inspiring, especially knowing I never got that kind of support from family cause I wasn't measuring up to their expectations.
No matter what, just get out there and hustle your ass off. Never give up and never quit. Work hard and believe in yourself, and you will be a success.
Not sure how this goes over today with all of this DEI and "everyone gets a trophy" mentality, but it still hits home for me to this day.

Nice looking bike. But for $100,000.00 give me something that will keep me dry, cool & warm.
