However, I do remember that art teacher. The bit I still remember with him showing videos was the Ah-Ha "Take On Me" video. Strangely enough, I remember more about his class than any other in that school.Matt A.http://groboclown.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-28621559638264319962011-05-30T01:13:28.594-05:002011-05-30T01:13:28.594-05:00Eh.

I thought there was a third, but couldn't remember who. <br /><br />I didn't see True Stories until college, and I don't think I knew it existed until I was in Dallas for a conference of some sort in high school and looked up and they had a poster for True Stories hanging in a restaurant. But, of course, Blockbuster did not carry the movie, so it was a long time before I saw it.<br /><br />Honestly, I think the movie that broke that ice for me was probably Raising Arizona, which, yeah, NOW everyone has seen it, but back then...The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-3027806162300817062011-05-29T13:35:04.818-05:002011-05-29T13:35:04.818-05:00Being roughly your age, I can testify that Talking...Being roughly your age, I can testify that Talking Heads was a great gateway to weirdness. I don't listen to them much anymore, but they probably had a deeper effect than I realize.<br /><br />I do remember when "True Stories" came out I was in 7th grade, and I dragged my Dad to go see it at some art theatre in downtown DC. I don't think I understood much about it, but I understood the most important thing, which was that there were strange people out there who were allowed to make movies, and they perceived the world in a radically different way then the people in my suburban junior high.Fantomenoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943650057872740425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-83140166756601848512011-05-29T12:37:48.807-05:002011-05-29T12:37:48.807-05:00So many great songs from this band...

I wouldn't have described myself as eager to meet them so much as willing. The whole idea of meeting celebrities just b/c you're a fan is an awkward one. I also think we had Rob Quintanilla with us, who only like hard rock/heavy metal and thought The Talking Heads was a band for weenies.J.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03903186469796595837noreply@blogger.com
