I have been following Ultimate Classic Rock's 'On this Date'
rememberance of all things music related for a while now. It's
fun to read these and relive them if they happened when I was
around. Never really thought to start a thread on this to share
with you guys. Figured you wouldn't really get anything out of
them to the same effect that I do. Anyway, enough is enough.
Decided to make the thread once and for all and what better way
to kick things off by dedicating the opening post to my good
buddy Mac. Hope you enjoy. Michael McDonald for the win!!! ;D
It's crazy to be able to say that I remember when these episodes
original aired. I was and will always be a big fan of What's
Happening.

Okay, seriously, f*ck that stupid framing screen thing people
use on Youtube to fool the software.

I don't know what the deal is with that, but that has been a
thing for the past few years that I've noticed and it seems to
be with shows like What's Happening, The Jefferson's and other
70's shows. Not sure if the intent is to make it less desirable
to download because you get that odd frame job and more
incentive to buy the DVD Sets instead.

It looks like a way to avoid takedown notices, the automatic
software tat looks for copyrighted content can't see those
frames yet.

How old were you when you watched this?
I remember it so well. I was torn. So glad to see the Doob's
make a television appearance, because I wanted more people to
know who and what they do, but at the same time, it was the
Michael McDonald years.
Y a know, I always thought of all shows, why this combination.
It just now hit me. Michaels soulful sound was surrounding the
group. I still think it's a weird combo, but yet I get it.
Thanks for posting. Have not seen that for a very long time.
Good thread too. I scan The classic rock site every day.
Man, there has been a lot of death annoucements. Too many to
post.

Don't know how old I was, but I was definitely still in
elementary school.

If it wasn't for UCR, I wouldn't know anything happening day to
day in Rock History. Haven't heard anyone else mention this at
all.

[center]25 Years Ago: Del Shannon, ‘Runaway’ Singer, Commits
Suicide
HTML http://ultimateclassicrock.com/del-shannon-commits-suicide/
[/center]
My Del Shannon story is somewhat bittersweet. I had gone to
Disneyland on a lark with some friends (we always could get in
for free as we had connections) and on this one particular night
that we went, they had some sort of 'Oldies but Goodies' concert
at Videoplolis which was a huge dance "club" for dancing. On the
bill itself, the headliner was Del Shannon. Anyway, there were a
few singers on the bill and it was getting late. The other guys
wanted to leave and I said I'm not going anywhere until he comes
out and performs. I WANT to hear Runway!! They didn't have a
choice. They couldn't leave me there and were stuck.
Del came out did his set and finished it with Runaway and it was
electric! There was so much energy in that venue from the band
to the crowd and my friends that wanted to leave were into it
and I could tell they were grateful they stayed, even if they
never told me personally. Well, it was about a month (maybe 2)
when I heard that he killed himself and whenever talk comes up
about Del or I hear one of his songs, I always think about that
night. My word to you is NEVER take for granted something that's
right in front of you. Never assume that you will get another
chance later. I'm glad I put my foot down that night because I
even told them this might be my only time to see him and
unfortunately, I was right. Just thought I'd share that story
with you peeps.

Wise words my friend about living in the moment.
Tell those you love... Tell them today
Very cool you gotto see Del.
Whatever band I end up with, cross fingers, I've always wanted
Runaway to be a core song.
