🎧 #DCDiary | Summer, 1981 | I moved from the burbs into a tiny efficiency at 17th and Swann and joined a start-up electronic PR firm where we helped publicize the launch of #MTV.

First paycheck, I bought a Walkman for the "commute" from DuPont to K Street, and one cassette.

#Genesis' new LP, "Abacab"

🎧 #DCDiary, 1987 | "Fascinated" played one night in the video bar at #Badlands @ DuPont Circle as a movie-star handsome, salt-n-pepper #USAF pilot and I played eyesies across the room. He made the first move, bless him.

"We had a good run" for a few months before he was transferred.

🎧 #DCDiary, 1987 | I met this song/clip in the video bar one night at #Badlands @ 22nd/P Streets, DuPont Circle. It played as a movie-star handsome, salt-n-pepper #USAF pilot and I played eye-sies across the room. Hewa hot; Iwa in love. "We had a good run" as they say. #Memorable #music #disco #queer #history #DanceMusic https://youtu.be/-b-6ksMdkrU

🎧 #DCDiary | In May 1981, I'd saved enough to rent a *tiny efficiency @ 16th/P after couch surfing in Tysons for year (thank you, Sophia). I lost almost everything running for my life "We'll kill you f***ot" frat boys @ #EastCarolina. Saved my amp, speakers and turntable. Bought #U2's BOY and EAST SIDE STORY by #Squeeze. Couldn't not afford music. That's where "Tempted" takes me. ❤️ https://youtu.be/vZic9ZHU_40
