Attention Molly Ringwald Generation! Do you remember using the phrase "bangin" in the 80's? To describe something
really awesome? What about "clutch?" If you did, what area were you in?

We Are Family?Think Tank! What 80's bands contained siblings in their line-up? Reading an article about The Bangles gave me a show idea. Susanna said there's an extra-special
blend to their harmonies because they have sisters (Vicki and Deb Peterson) in the band. "If you look at the Beach Boys
and other bands that have had family members singing together, there's a really cool thing that happens." Off the top
of my head- The Kinks, Heart, Crowded House, Bangles, AC/DC...any more???

Like, totally rad fer sher?I've been collecting fave 80's words and phrases, and it's interesting how many were
regional. If you were in Texas, did you say "danked" for snatched or stole? In NY we said, "scapped" as
in "he scapped the rest of my popcorn!" How about "bow-head" for preppie? Also, on the east coast I don't
remember this, but did you use the word "Brody" or "Five-O" to describe police officers? What was your
favorite 80's phrase? Do you think it was regional, national, or gotten from the media ie: Neo maxi zoom dweebie??? xoxoxo,
martha

This week, on Martha Quinn Presents, it's "They Know What Boys Like!" Features the female 80's MTV Artists who got the most responses to the question, "Which
80's MTV Artist would you most like to Pour Some Sugar On You?" This
show came about when I posed the following question on my website and Facebook page: Which 80’s MTV artist would you
most have liked to Pour Some Sugar On You? What follows is a countdown of 80’s crushes from the guys perspective. From
honorable mentions to the number 1, tune in for wall-to-wall female 80’s MTV Artists guys thought of when they sang
along to Sometime, Anytime, Sugar Me Sweet! Thanks to everyone who
voted and made the show possible. There were counts, re-counts, forgotta counts, hanging chads...it was a crazy scene but
worth it! Thanks to you all it's a great show! xoxo, m
