    I posed to "Solid" in the ANBC bodybuilding competition in 1984. Years later I met Nick at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, CT. I thanked him and told him it was because of his song that I won the contest. That video is on my channel here along with other videos some of which show Seaside Park. BTW, we both frequented Seaside Park.
