Fast Times at Ridgemont High?
Hmmm. Good question....St. Elmo's fire? Pretty in Pink? Breakfast club? Ferris Beuller? Goonies?
And Jennifer Aniston getting fed up with her boss nagging her about not having enough pins on her blouse. Somehow that seems just a perfect framing.
Umm sat what? Didn’t Van Halen AC/DC Pink Floyd rock after that? Stones came out with several good albums after that, etc etc. punk!! Ramones etc.
Somewhat agree but disagree about the music. The alternative/punk scene was just starting to take off in NYC. Talking Heads 77, Ramones, Blondie, New York Dolls it just hadn't started to pick up steam yet. But yea Radio was horrible. I think the only station I could get was WDVE out of Pittsburgh and there was nothing good in State College.
I worked as a manager for Bennigans 1990-1993 and yep had to have the pins.
Yes it was!! Playing football basketball golf was never an answer. Would you jump off a …. For one million dollars. The kid ponders it. Lol
+1.
I wasn’t in NY lol but I was In Baltimore ( suburbs). I use to listen to Glen Burnout from a station in Glen Burnie but even that seemed to change. I did find the talking heads etc probably around 1979 but there was just too much disco for me!!!
Ah…the perfect segue! So I was teaching class earlier in the week in what I’d call a typical classroom with about 30 students. I’m up front talking about whatever I was talking about when the door opens and in walks some guy. I turn and look to see who’s coming in, and the guy looks completely lost. I ask if I can help him and he leans over and asks in a low voice, “Did you order 5 pizzas?” I tell him no and he looks at a piece of paper. It’s an order with the correct room, but says the pizzas should be delivered at 5:00 - to a completely different group. He apologizes and walks out. I turn to the class and ask, “Did you all hear what that was about?” Most didn’t, so I tell the class what just happened and then add, “Now I know how Mister Hand felt.” The perfect reference, right? A pizza delivery guy delivering pizza to a classroom in the middle of class!

The response from the students? Crickets.
Turns out today’s 19-21 year olds don’t know what Fast Times at Ridgemont High is. Made me
Ok that was it. Wasn’t there a movie the legend of Billie Jean.
