First:

Hail to Christos7 the great

Great pics and the quantity is overwhelming, thanks.

The above one was a huge pink poster I had above my bed around '91. Brings back good memories.

I guess you must be my age? I have a great deal of these pics in a supersized box at my attic, (concert)posters, cards etc. So nice to see them again. Thanks again.

Thank god I don't have a scanner, I would be scanning full-time.

The picture of Prince with the red boxershort and braces (suspenders?) is nice but in a very weird way. Because of the stockings he looks very gay. Just like the one he sticks his pink tongue out (yuk, I don't like it). What was he thinking.
I cannot possibly imagine him checking this picture and saying to the photografer "yeah, this is a cool pic, spread it". But one must say, he's never boring.

This thread makes me go

Once again: Thank you christos!! The pics are simply amazing.

The Song Remains The Same

I took a train ride back home from downtown 2day along the same route I took daily to & from school from 1984-1988. Took my truck in 4 a service and took the pushbike along 2 get home from the station..(it's quite a walk...and the legs aint quite what they used 2 b... )
It mustve been at least 5 years since having done this, and 4 the 1st time I had the pleasure of listening 2 my ipod throughout the journey, which of course includes my entire Prince collection. What a far cry from the mini ghetto blaster I used 2 cart around in my schoolbag, with the numerous cassette tapes 4 my listening pleasure! ipod shuffle is a marvelous thing...
As it was back then, most people were oblivious 2 the goin on's around them, my good self included, when something marvelous happened...
The extended version of God (instrumental) came creeping through my headphones...
A flurry of mixed emotions took hold...and I travelled back in time...
Memories came flooding back of the highs and lows of all those years of train travel, my high school years..
It seemed the sun shone a lil brighter then 2, reflecting the colours of everything I looked at thru the window, makin it all appear all the more brilliant. I was approaching East Camberwell station, and I remembered how I used 2 peer thru the window approaching there all those years ago, in anxious anticipation, hoping 2 spot my childhood sweetheart. If the timing was right, she and her friends would board there... yet again, 2day she wasnt there... Ah well... I pictured Prince in the basement scene in Purple Rain...and I smiled.
I wished I could open the window, like I used 2 back then, but in these newfangled trains thats impossible, the climate nowadays is controlled.
I wasnt let down tho, as my mind conjured all those sights smells and sounds of the past as the train rolled past the platform. I smelt the wattles swayin gently in the breeze, glowing under the majestic sun. I heard the laughs and many excited conversations of the groups of schoolkids huddled there in groups, and 4 a split second, like a flashback in a movie scene, I saw them there 2...gostly figures... Somehow I felt like innocence had returned...and again I smiled.
I looked around at all the ageing buildings I had come 2 know so well, and couldnt help but notice the changed landscape. More buildings.. New roads.. The houses it seemed, had shifted even closer 2gether. Even the graffitti had changed, with the exception of afew large and hard 2 get at pieces... What pride those artists must still feel..
I glanced around the carriage as Princes guitar spoke... Even the people looked different somehow...withdrawn... Perhaps they were conscious of the security cameras, they never used 2 b there either..
The nostalgia continued 4 the remaining 30 mins of the trip, as I clicked back every time the instrumental came close 2 ending. Surely Prince could have come up with a 30 min + version...
I readied myself as the train drew close 2 my stop, wheeled the bike 2 the door, and looked down at a scar on my shin, compliments of my pedal afew years ago. That wasnt there back then either...
I pressed the button 4 the door 2 open at my stop, and was somewhat amused at the curious look an elderly lady gave me as I motioned 2 her, "after U"... The imposing, tattooed, middle aged guy behind the dark sunglasses might not have done that back then either... I slapped on my helmet, smiled, and chuckled lightly as I peeled a banana...fuel 4 the ride home...
If nothing else, I was thankful that, at least the song remains the same.

Thank you Prince xox
