I actually worked for him for several years. It was crazy
GET OUT OF HERE!
You really did? I was in NY from 1969 to the early 80's so Crazy Eddie was a part of my life.
Yes, it would have been from 1980 to 1984 in the Paramus, NJ store. Oddly enough, that was also a Tower Records store after Crazy Eddie went out of business.
How cool!
They moved tons of gear over the years.
Wasn't that time-frame about when New Jersey abolished the "Blue Laws" for not opening retail stores on Sundays?
(We have a local used car dealer here in Tucson that uses the Crazy Eddie playbook...really annoying, crazed-sounding, over-the-top promises. But that sort of thing DOES stick in the brain. We still remember Crazy Eddie all these years later...)
I don't know that they ever abolished the blue laws. They were still in effect when I moved out of that hell hole in 2004. I can say that because of the blue laws, traffic wasn't bad on Sundays. Every other day it was a nightmare.
Ha ha...I know what you mean. There are some lovely areas in NJ but some bad areas too. Certainly, some horrible traffic.
But my wife came out of the place so I give the state a pass.
Just barely.

Jersey girls rock!

I guess no state is immune from their share. I hope she was able to get it under control.
Bought my first VCR (Sony Betamax) at the Fordham road store back in the early 80's. Talk about a hard sell.

Looks to me like they both have helmets.Troubling that the inside baby astronaut has the helmet and the outside baby astronaut is therefore experiencing explosive decompression.
But these two have short sleeves.
