Way Back Wednesday: Stars on 45

Picture it.  It was the early 80's.  I carried a sweet comb that said "Hot Stuff" on the handle in my back pocket.  I never used it to comb my hair, just kept it back there so that people would think know I was cool.  We'd hit up Skate Inn East to roller skate in a circle to our favorite songs of the time.  I'd be lying if I said I was a good skater.  Sometimes you could find me peeled to the shag carpeted wall, getting my footing.  Most of the time, I would try to hide out in the refreshment stand, drinking a suicide and eating a Krispy Kreme donut.  That is, until "Stars on 45" came on.  Then, I'd hit the floor and skate and dance as well as I could, which was still about half the speed as anyone else, and definitely not backwards.
