IN 1986, RADIO SHACK INTRODUCED THIS ENORMOUS CELL PHONE, ESSENTIALLY A PORTABLE CAR PHONE. AN EXCERT FROM RADIO SHACK’S 1986 CATALOGUE PICTURED ABOVE READS “WITH RADIO SHACK’S ADVANCED-TECHNOLOGY CELLULAR TELEPHONE YOU GET ALL THE BENEFITS OF MOBILE TELEPHONING PLUS THE OPTION OF PORTABLE OPERATION. IT’S A TREMENDOUS ADVANCE IN BUSINESS AND PERSONAL COMMUNICATION AT A BREAKTHROUGH PRICE. WITH THE RADIO SHACK CELLULAR PHONE YOU CAN DIAL DIRECT TO ANY PHONE IN THE WORLD. AND ANYONE CAN REACH YOU, SIMPLY BY DIALING YOUR OWN CELLULAR PHONE NUMBER.” THE RETAIL PRICE WAS $1199.00… EVEN THOUGH WE ALL EXISTED WITHOUT CELL PHONES AT ONE TIME, IT IS ALMOST SURREAL TO IMAGINE DAILY LIFE WITHOUT ONE, ALMOST MORE DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE CARRYING AROUND ONE OF THESE!

IT IS SO RARE TO FIND AN ALBUM I ENJOY LISTENING TO FROM BEGINNING TO END, SO EXCITING TO FIND AN ALBUM THAT SOUNDS TRULY COHESIVE, LIKE ONE PERSON OR ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE MADE IT. I HATE WHEN ARTISTS SAY “THERE IS SOMETHING ON MY ALBUM FOR EVERYONE.” I LOVE WHEN ALBUMS SOUND LIKE ONE THING – LIKE AL GREEN, BOB MARLEY, AND A TRIBE CALLED QUEST ALBUMS, LIKE N.E.R.D.’S “IN SEARCH OF…” AND R. KELLY’S “HAPPY PEOPLE. RYAN LESLIE’S SELF TILTED DEBUT IS JUST THAT, A COLLECTION OF PERFECTLY SEQUENCED, NATURAL BUT SYNTHY R&B SONGS MADE BY ONE PERSON. CHECK OUT “YOU’RE FLY.” I WILL TONIGHT WHEN RYAN PERFORMS AT S.O.B.’S.

AS I HAVE BLOGGED ABOUT BEFORE, I LOVED CARTOONS BASED ON MOVIES AS A CHILD. “BACK TO THE FUTURE,” “THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS,” “BILL & TED’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE,” AND NOW ANOTHER FAVORITE – “TEEN WOLF.” BASED ON THE 1985 MOVIE STARRING MICHAEL J. FOX, THE ANIMATED SERIES RAN FROM 1986-1987. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FILM AND TELEVISION SERIES IS THAT IN THE CARTOON, ONLY SCOTT’S family, Stiles, and Boof KNOW THAT HE IS A WEREWOLF.

NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE CAN PULL THESE OFF – ANDRE 3000, O’NEAL MCKNIGHT, AND, WELL, NOT MANY OTHERS.

There were originally going to be 100 Gold Deloreans to be produced in 1981 for the American Express Christmas Catalogue, but only two were made; one with saddle interior and one with black interior. The Deloreans were offered to American Express Gold cardholders, appearing in the December 1979 American Express catalog. Each gold-plated Delorean was priced at $85,000, which was a lot for 1979. The first 24k 1981 gold Delorean is currently located in the National Automobile Museum in Reno Nevada. The second one sits in a locked glass showcase in the lobby of the Snyder National Bank and has 0 miles and has never had gas put into it. The third 24k 1983 gold Delorean was assembled on Christmas eve 1982 and was offered in a promotional drawing by a department store and is currently privately owned by a man in Maryland. The gold Deloreans now have a estimated value at $125,000.00.
