How about go-go boots? Vanilla extract behind the ears? Mood rings? gum wrapper ropes? Am I in the right generation or somewhere in between? My mom liked Engelbert!!
OH and speaking of being addressed at a concert!! my friend and I got thrown out of a Leonard Nimoy one man theatrical show "Vincent" by Leonard himself!!!! It was a matinee so it was basically full of school age kids who were bused over. We both brought our babies along who were nursing infants at the time. Both woke once each in the first half and briefly squeeked and we nursed them. That was it! AFTER the half time break - he came back on stage and before he started into his monologue (guess this had been bugging him at intermission) he asked "would the ladies near the front with the crying babies please exit the theater, you are disrupting my performance!" Both babies were and had been sound asleep for the past hour or so - kids all around were shooting spitwads, getting up and down, climbing over seats etc - and he asked US to leave?? Not only that but he waited until AFTER intermission and refused to continue the performance until we got up and left in front of the stunned and packed convention center!!
Sorry alittle off topic but it WAS a MEMORY!!
