time warping

I've been going through my collection of music videos. When I was about 12 I started recording videos off of MTV and late night talk shows of musicians/bands/artists that were interesting to me or that I liked. This summer I had the opportunity to borrow a DVD recorder and downsize the clutter. I've been taking these tapes and recording the videos and live footage onto the hard drive then transferring to a DVD. One of the funniest things I think is seeing where my tastes changed and watching some of these videos...and listening to the lyrics. Have you ever thought about how cheesy some of those glam rock band ballads were? I stopped recording videos and live performances around 2005.

So let's take a small trip through the late 80s and 90s to about 2 yrs ago.
