Blast From My Past

This was a lot of fun. In the early to mid 90's, KSHE decided to open up a restaurant in Union Station called "KSHE's Real Rock Cafe" I put together the background music (on 6 hour VHS tapes!!) and did the videos from Laserdisc using a video switcher (that I never got reimbursed for). I put together rock videos and movies. uhh..I forgot about the nude shot in "Gimme Shelter" and the rape scene in "The Wall". It was okay until a customer complained. It was a great idea, but there were two problems. The service was not good and neither was the food. The people from The Hard Rock Cafe didn't think too highly of the place and before we knew it, it was gone. The place was rehabbed and it is now the studios for the cluster in the Powerhouse. It was a fun place to take clients, mistresses and a generally fine place to get hammered. I interviewed KISS there and John Entwhistle and Jackyl played there live. Hey, we owned the world at that time and it was a fine idea but it didn't last.

HA!! I met John Entwistle at the RRC. He was magnificent. Ace Freheley played a drunken show there, with Peter Criss opening. It was so bad, I left halfway through Ace's set...and I LOVE the guy.

I still have my U-Man's Celibacy Club Card. Still works, too. ;) Does Imo's still sell the U-Man Special? I tried to order it a few years ago and the kid on the phone had NO IDEA what I was talking about...those were the days...
