The Mock Rock Lip Sync Contest was 40 years ago this upcoming spring. Where has the years gone? The finals are a great look back to the popular music of the time when MTV was only showing music videos and occasional coverage of concerts. The year 1985 gave us "We Are the World" in spring and Live Aid in mid summer. At 10 a.m. on Sunday mornings Doug Heim's "The Dance Machine" ran on the old WXGZ-TV 32 in Appleton.
There was a time, I suppose, when clip shows made some sense. But a clip show of, well, basically clip shows? Sorry, Doug, but if you want a rest you got it. I still can't get that Christmas special out of my head.
Doug , thanks for bringing back so many memories!
The first all night movie venue. Local ads and local talent. Thanks to Doug for showcasing great scarey and scifi moves!
