I did not include “A-B-C, Always Be Closing”. We all know that Alec Baldwin did a much better job with that line in Glengarry Glen Ross years before Boiler Room was even filmed.

Flashback - A Look Back
Flashback is a list of events based upon some of my interests. These include music, movies, tv, technology, science and 80’s culture. Most events will have a short summary and usually a link back to the appropriate article on Wikipedia or IMDB. I add items to this calendar as I think of them, so the list is constantly growing.
