    Man, as a teen? Oh.....this was the best. I used to drool at just just looking at it.

    Unfortunately, I never heard one. Loved the size though. Perfect for a dorm room.

    On the complete opposite side of the spectrum? Money.....and lots of it! The more you look? The more you realize...

That’s why I don’t, I bought all of my current gear based on technical parameters alone, such as specs and measurements."

    Rod Stewart looks thrilled to be stuck next to Paul. "Sigh. Just get it over with already, this guy smells like he's been shearing sheep."

    Is that Bob Smeldof's Christmas thing?

  • ^^^^^ Tom thanks for posting that incredible picture. It reminded me of two "chance sightings" of two of the performers.

    In the mid to late 70's and through the 80's, I was a frequent business traveler. Historical landmark hotels were always my favorite choices when away from home.

    I stayed at the Olympic Hotel (perhaps the most beautiful hotel I stayed in ever) on a visit to Seattle in the early 80's. Late in the first evening after arrival from GA, I was leaving the main lobby by the wide grand stairs (now replaced by escalators) to go to the travel entrance. Coming up the stairs to my left, there was Elton John leading his entourage into the hotel after a concert. I just stood midway down the stairs not believing what I was seeing as he came up. He was one step in front of all the other 10-15 people. (No iPhone for picture in those days)

    In the late 70's arriving at the Plaza Hotel in NYC in the early evening, I went to the separate hotel check-in area just to the right of the main lobby. As I waited my turn, in line to the left I noticed Rod Stewart was actually checking himself in. I kept my eyes on him and noticed after checking in, he actually was looking around as a normal traveler does. He was dressed in the British attire that he was often seen wearing. I was thrilled as I really liked his music.

    History is fun to remember.

    Haha, Phil Collins looks like he's about ready to sneak a feel of Tina's leg (who wouldn't)
    And Howard Jones looks like he's thinking the same about Phil.
    And Paul's going, through gritted teeth, "Shuddup Phil, get *out* of here!"

    Addendum to my post above regarding Seattle:

    Across the street from the Olympic Hotel is the building where my business trip took me. I wanted to post this because of the building's unique appearance and the architect who created the building.

    It was to Rainier Bank located in what is described as an upside building. Quite a contrast to the the Olympic Hotel built in 1924 which is to the right of the building in the picture below. The people of Rainer Bank described it as a "pencil shaped building". Back then, the entire building was The Rainier Bank. Now it is a commercial building with many businesses and is called the Rainer Tower.

    Created by renowned architect Minoru Yamasaki, who also designed the New York World Trade Center buildings, this colossal structure has the unique distinction of balancing atop an eleven story pedestal. 

    Built in 1977, this relatively modern structure gives one the feel of an upside-down pyramid reaching to the clouds as you gaze thirty one stories above it's base at the peculiar lines of this skyscraper.

    Very cool :) 😎

    Wow that building looks like it could topple over! Very unique!
