A '77 IIRC, nope on the Nina. We tried 99 Luftballons but just couldn't pull it together.

I saw her twice - first time in the late 80's in Chicago, and in the mid 90's in SF - one of my all-time favorite performers. It would be hard for any singer to match her range!

I remember him indoors pointing to Yorkie bars in Tesco and telling me I wasn't allowed to have one, me not having a clue wt7 he was chuntering on about, him having to explain the former adverts .... ah the good old days. To this day I have never had a piece of their stupid arsed chocolate. Discerning Thunderbird players prefer 90% bitter or semi sweet.

Dark chocolate covered almond clusters - my only real chocolate desire. Milk chocolate... yuck! Bitter or semi sweet for tollhouse cookies is always yummy as well.

This is my favorite, not as bitter as some of the others. Its kinder to my gentle pom palette.

Seriously? The XXX album and Nothing's Shocking are just incredible. They never get old for me. Three albums that were in constant rotation on every trip to and from college for me were the Jane's Addiction XXX album, Social Distortion's eponymous, and Exile on Main Street from the Rolling Stones.

Nice playlist.
Dig Eric Avery's bass playing (Jane's Addiction), very savvy divisions of time, aggressive and tidy.
A friend played Social Distortion's "Ball and Chain" loud in the car on the way to band practice in Miami one afternoon, I was a convert.
Exile, best Stones era.
.02, yep, bitchin'.

That's Nena, not Nina Hagen. :) I've seen Nina Hagen a couple of times. She's amazing.

Love her too. Great singer, killer band. She's sharing space up at the top of my favs list.
Badass cutie as well... don't mind if I say so.
Don't know that I ever saw a vid if theirs with a THUNDERBIRD in it though, too bad.
