For those old enough to remember when TVs came encased in big wooden cases, weighed 200#, and a 27″ television was considered a “home theater”, you probably remember that every American home either had a subscription to, or regularly picked up a weekly copy of TVGuide. Now, in the digital...

October 6th, 1979 is one of those days that — for some odd reason — I will probably remember forever.  Why?  Because after a month of scraping together pennies, dimes, and quarters, along with copious amounts of begging to my parents, I finally held a ticket in my hand to the first live concert...
