What a flashback <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/profile/632753" REL="nofollow">Kat</A> created for me - One of my coveted vinyl EPs is Suburban Lawns, but I never saw the show you referenced, darn!<BR/>I was always envious of Riff Randell!snaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03739757131835738894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9982236.post-1135309330225432702005-12-22T21:42:00.000-06:002005-12-22T21:42:00.000-06:00Oooh, New Wave Theatre!

And Squeeze, and the Police before Sting had fifty Grammys...<BR/><BR/>The weird Suburban Lawns thing was a "special" on Cinemax or Showtime. I obviously need to do some Googling.<BR/><BR/>Cable TV was a great thing for a kid in the late 70s/early 80s, though, before everyone had instant access to everything. That's how I saw Animal House about seventy times... and Mr. Mike's Mondo Video.

"Teenage Lobotomy" hooked me. It was kinda funny but not in a "Fish Heads" or "Pencil-Necked Geek" kind of way. Plus it rocked. The good doctor played a lot of punk "novelty" songs at the time - it must have been '79 or '80. Shouldn't he have his own Sirius channel by now?<BR/>DDT did a job on me - JenningsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9982236.post-1135144542899929482005-12-20T23:55:00.000-06:002005-12-20T23:55:00.000-06:00I heart RCE (Ramones Conversion Experience) storie...I heart RCE (Ramones Conversion Experience) stories... mine was seeing RNRHS at the Judson Road drive-in in San Antonio. Sprouts, Joey! Riboflavin!<BR/><BR/>If you saw RNRHS on cable in 1981, maybe you saw some weird special on "new wave" with the Suburban Lawns in it? I'm sort of haunted by that, although I can't remember the other (undoubtedly better) bands. Just "Gidget Goes To Hell".Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10859314803601003396noreply@blogger.com
