Studio 54

[linza22]

I was always fascinated and entertained by the going's on and news related to Studio 54 and the associated celebrities. Many here on the "bored" are probably neither old enough nor interested enough nor geographically located in a position where it had any resonance. For those however that are like me and sort of kind of kept tract even just a bit the link below just continues with that crazy story.

I loved the Palladium and the Lime light. Oh the debauchery of the 80's!

My post about Big Al was supposed to be in the All Things NRBQ thread. How it ended up in Studio 54, I'll never know. Alcohol was not involved. I'm going to get to the bottom of this.

Perhaps stick to what you know best in the Psychoactive Drug Thread

From "Booger Sugar" to Big Al. Wow!

Excellent - we have been fans of Al for so long - caught him last in a dive bar in Nashville and had a long conversation between sets - he really loves Santa Fe for its natural beauty and art and spends a good part of each year there now....

Here's a fairly informative article on the the career and life of Al Anderson, focusing on his post Q songwriting days. https://www.mmone.org/al-anderson/?f...1_lvOpvUcTqBZY

Say hello to Justin Townes Earle. I'm sure he'll tap the glass with you.

You guys are a bunch of wimps. More booger sugar for me and 20/20...with a case of Old Stye.

You and I are mature adults. We can enjoy a good time. I do, however, sort of kind of, wish that you not invite our buddy Richard (Pryor) anymore. He can be dangerous.

I had a stye in and around my eye for several weeks recently.

And Old Style is better than cocaine

Got turned on to that at a couple of early Dead shows. Cannot remember the dates or venues. Strong stuff. A bit too much for my tastes.

The best band from Athens was Guadalcanal Diary

I haven't touched that nasty stuff since the mid 80s. You couldn't pay me to ever do it again. I had some pretty women try but I still said no. I can't imagine how people do it here in the Summer with how humid it is. It must get all caked up. Haha.

We were big fans of and saw live just about all of those bands you mentioned plus from UK XTC, Gang Of Four, Gen X, Wire, PIL, The Slits, Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Jam, PFurs, The Damned, Graham Parker, Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Siouxsie, Buzzcocks, The Cure, Magazine, Joy Division, US acts Devo, Stray Cats, B-52s, Pere Ubu, X, Modern Lovers, Pretenders (UK&US) and our local NYC based faves Richard Hell, Dolls/David Johansen, James Chance, Bush Tetras, ESG, Liquid Liquid, Dead Boys, Johnny Thunders, Lizzy Mercier Descloux, Mink Deville, Tuff Darts, Robert Gordon, Patti Smith, Suicide and of course Blondie, The Cramps, Television, Ramones and Talking Heads.

Remember another Athens band Pylon?

It was hard to keep up back then but we tried!

It was hard to keep up, but a lot of fun to try. Yep, remember Pylon, not Athens based, but The Swimming Pool Cues, Let's Active, Rubber Rodeo and early 10,000 Maniacs spring to mind. We also agree about the Peruvian Marching Powder.

Lots of things I'd rather have than "cocaine by the poolside". I'd rather have a beautiful night by the NC ocean. Enjoy it.
