The last video I featured was “Ant Music” which came from the album Kings of the Wild Frontier, a huge hit in the U.K. For this next Adam Ant experience, we’ll go to the next album, which was Prince Charming. You’ll get to see and hear “Stand and Deliver” and he will be dressed like [...]
I have declared that it is Ant Week here at Spoop’s World. It’s actually long over due because I am a diehard, true blue, always and forever Ant Fan. I won’t say that Adam Ant is the best ever. No, there are others who are better and the best. But he is my absolute favorite [...]
I read today that Donny Osmond will likely be on the next season of Dancing With the Stars! Oh, be still my heart! There will be many postings of videos of my teenage idol dancing. He just turned 51 last month and is better than ever.
Today is Elvis Presley’s birthday. He was born January 8, 1935. And did you know he was a twin? His twin brother died at birth. His name was Jesse Garon Presley. My mom loved Elvis and I guess that’s where I get my deep appreciation of him. I’m not a rabid fan, but I do [...]
I got an email from my sister with links to the current news in the year you were born. The best thing for me was that “Mack the Knife” by Bobby Darin won the Grammy for Record of the Year. I love Bobby Darin! And Mack the Knife is classic! The Song of the Year [...]
Tonight was the last Monday night game that will be played in Texas Stadium. It makes me sad because I remember when it was built. My high school graduation was on the 50 yard line right there in the middle of the stadium. Jerry Jones is taking our team to Arlington where they are building [...]
I’m on a roll with posting videos. Here are two videos of Puppy Love for your enjoyment. First is Donny Osmond in 1972 (*sigh*), second is Damien McGinty of Celtic Thunder in 2008. Dig those 1972 pantsuits. I’m getting a kick out of all the teenage girls around the internet who are so smitten with [...]
I graduated in the Class of 1978. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 30 years. Our 30th high school reunion is in October. For some reason, 30 seems to be a magic number. I’ve seen and heard more about this reunion than any other. I think a lot of it is because of the [...]
While browsing the internet, I found this list of slang words and phrases by decade at HowStuffWorks.com. It’s interesting how some slang words from decades ago are still used. Cool. Even more interesting is that I can tell I’m terribly out of touch and old because I didn’t recognize half of the 2000s slang words. [...]
I’m one of those people who doesn’t stay in touch with old friends. High school was a difficult time for me on a personal level because my mother passed away at the beginning of my Junior year when I was 16. My focus was on taking care of her before she died, then my focus [...]
