Told ya.
Remember back when Nicolette Sheridan was hot? Gas was like .69¢ a gallon…Eddie Murphy was funny…Lou Piniella was skinny…the Soviet Union was boycotting the Olympics…
Actually today is the 24th anniversary of the Opening of the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Remember that night?
L.A. Coliseum…Rafer fucking Johnson.
We once sat trying to sell some United Airlines dude some bullshit minor league sponsorship (which he bought, thank you very much) and he admitted he was the guy who directly stole the idea for Gershwin’s ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ from that exact night as United’s theme song and subsequently turned it into one of the greatest marketing ideas of the 20th century.
‘Rhapsody in Blue’ is on our iPod to this very day because of a night 24 years ago today.
