Alternate Reality;Madonna a.k.a. Rachel

     I can't say for sure, but this event took place in 87' or 88'. Its a story that has similarities with the first "Alternate Reality" story, so here it goes.Its sometime during the weekend I'm relaxing, just listening to music, daydreaming. Once again the radio announcer comes on and he's just going over news in music. He say's something to the effect. "and in related matters Madonna will be coming out with a video, an X-rated video. Lets see out that turns out.." I know he says more, but I just can't remember what else. So, come monday morning I'm on campus telling everybody I "heard" Madonnas going to be staring in an x-rated video. In my mind the way I heard it, was x-rated as in Adult video, but time tells the real story of how it went down.
     Now this time around before I wrote this little event, I googled the video to find that "Justify My Love" wasn't released until 1990. I'm going to give myself the benefit of the doubt and say that I "heard" it on the radio in 1988. I was still in highschool, I know that for sure because I was telling all of my friends and classmates. That I do remember. So it would give the time span of about 2 years differential from the time I "heard" it on the radio to the time it actually happened. Just about the same time difference with the Prince experience.
      Here's an interesting side note  that I really didn't think about until I started writing and remembering the events that took place. In Madonnas video there just happens to be a cameo appearance of none other than..."Prince."
     O.k. thats about all I want to say about that. These two stories could have easily been fabricated out of thin air, really not verifiable unless you happened to be one of the people or class mates who were there to experience these events which occured over 2 decades ago, so its pretty much "dust to the wind", however I do have one more story that did take place back in the eighties, that has not yet occured, and that one I'll be puting out maybe sometime next week.

Alternate Reality

     The beginning of this story takes place sometime in the summer of 1984. I was not yet a freshman in highschool, but would soon be. Nothing unusual happened during the course of the summer. Just the same old boring "out of school vacation". I would spend alot of my nights listening to my radio in the wee hours of the morning. Just daydreaming about whatever popped into my head. It was a common event for me to listen to the radio for hours on end, sometimes up to five hours at a time. So one night I'm listening to the radio and I hear the radio announcer come on, he says something to the effect, "This year Prince will be coming out with a movie titled Under the Cherry Moon, so look for it in theaters near you." I really wasn't into prince then so it was just a passing occurence, nothing worthy of making note of; Or so I thought.
     Finally the summer ended and my first year of highschool begins. I'm in my english class and the room is somewhat silent. Students have their noses to the books doing a "preview quiz", once in awhile a low chatter could be heard. My mind wonders off to my lazy days of summer, and then it hits me. I blurt out, "Hey, I heard Prince is going to be coming out with a movie, It's gonna be called Under the Cherry Moon". I was talking to my buddy sitting next to me and a student in front of us just turns around, but has a look of annoyance. Apparently not impressed with the news. Whats  bizzare is my bud is really not impressed either. He really doesn't have any kind of reaction to my remark. I think back on it now and it was as if maybe he didn't believe me. Maybe he thought I was just trying to start a rumor.Theres really nothing more I have on this memory. Thats pretty much it, except that several months later a movie comes out. The star of the movie is the artist formerly known as "Prince", and the movie is called "Purple Rain".
     Whats really weird about this experience is that no one else had "heard" about the fact that Prince was going to be making a movie. Nobody came up to me saying, "Hey are you going to go watch Under the Cherry Moon, when it comes out?". This is the first experience I had that seemed to be "Normal", until several years later. Upon further reflection, things just didn't seem right, or things didn't "add up". No one validated the fact that Prince was coming out with the movie, also I've never heard anything about Prince changing the name from Under the Cherry Moon, to Purple Rain. Thats the only piece of information that I have that proves my experience. The name "Under the Cherry Moon". I believe Prince has the answer...

Once a friend of mine invited me out for lunch, upon checking his wallet to see how much money he could spend, he ordered; "I'd like a glass of water and a slice of cheese please."

LA ROUX - IN FOR THE KILL (SKREAM REMIX)

In the beginning of this song there is a sound that will be lost to time, and that is the sound of the pop of a needle dragging over vinyl that has little scratches and dings on its surface. I'm guessing if a person was born in 1990, this is a sound that he/she might appreciate, or should I say might not appreaciate. It all depends on the way you look at things. To me its more of a nostalgia, then anything else.
Well if you were born in 1990 here are some other little subtle things that you might not learn to appreciate. The weight of your record collection as you move your sixty to one hundred pound cardboard box from one corner of the room to another. Another thing you might not experience is the little wait time it takes to "rewind" a cassette tape. Usually 2 to 5 minutes. The awful experience of dragging a needle over a perfectly new record. The careful skill it takes to lift a needle off a record, to keep it in perfect condition. The youth will never know the little act of changing a worn out needle on a record player. At this moment these happen to be a few things that come to the surface of my memory. I'll give it some thought, and post some more experiences forever lost in time.

New Order - Blue Monday

Reminds me of highschool, Central California. 1980 something. Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller's day off. A time when Gun's and Roses became god-like. The DJ played Gun's and Rose's, "Sweet Child O' Mine". Everybody who was sitting down in the Gym was now on the dance floor. My thought at that very moment was "How do you dance to this?".

Alot of this stuff is mindblowing to think about. I've seen alot of this on the History Channel. I believe in this for the simple fact that there's just too much out there. There's too much we don't know. There's too much stuff out there. I'm thinking mankind, we're like rats in the Universal Lab. I get this feeling that there is a "Space Federation" out there, and there out there somewhere looking down on earth. To them its no big deal, we're just one little planet. This planet makes for a great little laboratory, for all types of experiments. This is the thought I get when I contemplate on the matter.
