Campaign 84 Blues @ The Pastime

This is a copy of another Pastime Lounge DJ flyer I recently came across in that box of "stuff" on the 3rd floor. I remember that Saturday night in November 1984 very well. It was a few days before the presidential election when Mondale was challenging Reagan and I played protest songs in the sound booth all night long. 

That was 41 years ago. Reagan seems like a kind old man compared to the raving fascist, disgusting racists, greedy traitor and old senile orange lunatic who's surrounded by a regime of boot licking idiots.

It's also very sad to point out that Bob who I worked for at the Pastime Lounge 1982-1986 passed away on December 26th. After discovering all these flyers in that box of "stuff" I had been thinking about him a lot and remembering all the good times we had together. He was a great guy. I was sorry when his job took him out of town and he sold the Pastime so long ago.

Now it's time to play those songs again.
