Yes, Moog.  The original music video was made during Paul Simon's monologue when he hosted Saturday Night Live in 1986...

...from the perspective of a video monitor on the set.

Oh; I never knew that. Interesting!

[Normandie]

An old favorite. . .

'The Absence Of Presence' is the new album from Kansas and its the best thing they have done since 'Monolith'.

I heard this --  and old favorite -- at work today and added it to my playlist. I'd forgotten about it!

Teen Tragedy at its best.

I heard this one at work, too, and it jerked me right back to the 80s. 

An unusual song for the pop charts, and yet it grows on you. . .

I heard that song all the time the summer that I worked at Friendly’s and I agree. I wound up liking it yet wondering about it at the same time. I wasn’t surprised to learn later that it was from a Broadway musical called Chess but I never knew anything further about the show. I always meant to find out about it and I finally did...just now. It was an allegorical reflection of the Cold War tensions present in the 80’s and a collaboration from Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA and lyricist Tim Rice. Oddly enough, the main character, based loosely on Bobby Fischer was named Freddie Trumper. Remember that for trivia night. LOL

I used to work at Friendly's, too! So did my ex-husband, in Jersey.

I just found out it was from a Broadway musical a few days ago, after I heard it at work on looked it up on Napster. When I learned more details, the lyrics suddenly made a lot more sense.

Now that I didn't know. Interesting!

Speaking of trivia, I found out the other day that the plural of beef is beeves. Who knew?

Right.  And beefs are complaints.

You both had cute uniforms...but not as cute as the one Margot wore at Roy Rogers just across the street...





I spent a lot of time there.   

[Hello Goodbye]

Happy Trails!

[KelMar]

Yes, I remember Margot.  Friendly’s here just closed. I hated that uniform! I felt like a 22 year old grandmother in it.

I used to work at Friendly's, too! So did my ex-husband, in Jersey.

I thought you did! I think we figured out there your uniform was cuter. I really hated having to wear pantyhose. Before ours closed the waitresses wore khakis and a polo shirt.

Not me!

[Hello Goodbye]

Yes, I remember Margot.  Friendly’s here just closed. I hated that uniform! I felt like a 22 year old grandmother in it.

Her winter uniform was even better.  She wore a checkered blouse, red scarf, fringed vest, denim skirt and cowboy boots.  Oh, and a red cowboy hat of course.   

[Hello Goodbye]

Friendly’s here just closed.

So have thousands of other restaurants in New York, for good I'm afraid.

Cuomo killed not only restaurants but also...

You should have gone across the street and worked at Roy Rogers.

Here's a good quiz you can take, Kelley:  Can you match the groovy 1970s uniform to the correct fast food chain?
