Bands that would write their OWN music (not this "sampling" garbage of today)

HEAR, HEAR. Bands had REAL talent then. But then again you still had the musicians who still couldn't write a song if they had to. Sing one yes, write and play it... never. But it sure beats this stuff that the industry tries to stuff down our throats today.

Speaking of bands with real talent.....

Anyone remember Ron-Co Records...all recorded by "The Original Artists"?

Ya gotta admit, that was a pretty good scheme while it lasted!

The original Johnny Quest cartoons

There's someone on Youtube who has uploaded a bunch of the original episodes of Jonny Quest. Most of them are divided into three parts. I've only watched a couple so far, but I think he has some of the lamer later ones too

I miss cartoons.  Every cartoon now looks and sounds really lame.  The animation has gone downhill and all the characters now resemble something from anime. 

When was the last time you saw Bug Bunny stick his carrot in Elmers gun and have it blow up while they play clasical music in the background?

Spear and magic helmut! Nothing says saturday morning like Elmer Fudd chasing Bugs Bunny to Vagner...

Actually, I think that was "K-Tel"  I can hear it now "New from K-Tel, all recorded by the original artists"... Nothing says music like the cracks, pops and hisses of a piece of vinyl on a turntable.

Or a house cover band doing all the "Hits of Today" so you can avoid paying royalties!

...an "Energy Drink" was strong coffee or Kool-Aid with too much sugar added in.
