Our Classmate, Frank Spencer

2010-02-06T13:01:00.002-05:00

Fire destroyed a family's home early Sunday (Jan. 24, 2010) in Columbia County, PA. The fire was reported at the home of Frank Spencer just before one Sunday morning along Millville Road in Hemlock Township. A passing motorist saw the flames and called 9-1-1. Crews from seven fire companies doused the blaze, preventing it from spreading to Spencer's commercial garage located nearby. No one was at home at the time of the blaze, which made firefighters uneasy as they attempted to find Spencer, his wife and two children. The family was with friends. The cause of the blaze could not be determined.

His children- See note below about benefit and case you want to bring some kids clothes ....for the lit'Spencers...

A note from Tammy Swisher Tarlecky:

Hi Classmates:

As many of you know, Frank's house burnt down recently. Thank God no one was hurt, but they lost everything in the house. Although Frank says they do not need anything, I think we should help him anyway. Frank is too proud to ask for help, but I know he said it would be months till they would get money from the insurance company. So, I would like to start a collection for him and the kids so they can go buy what they need now. If anyone is interested in donating to Frank and his family please send a check to my address: 337 E. 8th Street, Bloomsburg, PA 17815.

Make all checks payable to: Frank Spencer. I will be sure he gets them. If you would like to put a note in with your checks, I am sure Frank will be overwhelmed with your support.

Thank you,
Tammy

Bruce, Madonna, Prince 1984 was quite a year

Bruce, Madonna, Prince! 1984 was quite a year
25 years ago, three of the most important albums dropped
COMMENTARY
By Tony Sclafani
msnbc.com contributor
updated 2:31 p.m. ET, Mon., July 20, 2009

It's a long article for a blog post but interesting and worth your time. Rock on.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Suppose one of the best years in pop music happened and nobody noticed.

A quarter of a century ago, in 1984, three of the most significant pop albums ever made came out. The year saw Bruce Springsteen’s landmark “Born in the U.S.A.” released June 4, Prince’s masterwork “Purple Rain” drop June 25 and Madonna’s classic “Like a Virgin” get unveiled Oct. 29. In other words, three of the most important albums ever were released within five months of each other.

Strangely enough, 1984 has gone almost unnoticed in pop history because there was no discernable trend that emerged that year, which is always a prerequisite for a “big” year in music (think the British Invasion of 1964, the punk revolution in 1977 or the grunge explosion of 1991). Yet 1984 was the year the artists who would largely define the 1980s made their definitive statements.

Another reason the year gets overlooked is that there’s no generational “hook” for the media to latch onto. Look back to 1964 and you think of Baby Boomers. Mention 1991 and Generation X comes to mind. The artists that dominated 1984 attracted people from a variety of demographics. If anyone represented a generation it was Madonna, but Baby Boomer-centric publications like Time magazin e seemed too preoccupied with criticizing her to hang a name on the legions of teens that identified with her.

Because of all this, 1984 is still better known as a novel on societal dystopia than as a year of pop utopia. All of which is a shame. The aforementioned albums have gone down as classics, consistently making various “best of” lists. Songs like “Glory Days,” “Material Girl” and “Purple Rain” have maintained their power, plus you can still put on these records without having to endure those wince-inducing “what were we thinking?” moments that ruin so much old music.
Born to reign -The most unexpected new superstar of the year, of course, was Madonna. When the year began, only a handful of dance music buffs had heard of her. By the time the year ended, no one would forget her. Credit Cyndi Lauper for paving the way for Madonna. In early 1984, people’s acceptance of Lauper’s idiosyncratic vocal style and persona gave notice that the world would accept a new kind of female star. Madonna, meanwhile, had released her debut album in 1983 to slow sales.
After Lauper, though, Madonna’s high-pitched, proudly “girlish” vocal style suddenly became commercial and the unique look she sported in the “Lucky Star” and “Borderline” videos didn’t seem too weird for MTV.

Those singles became unexpectedly belated hits, and pushed back the release of “Like a Virgin.” When it finally came out, it went platinum and delivered four top five hits and one No 1.
Springsteen was already popular, but few people suspected “Born in the U.S.A.” would explode the way it did. Pop music in the early 1980s was dominated by British bands, which were making Springsteen’s roots rock seem somewhat quaint. But the Boss was prepared for this brave new world, and made the album’s lead off single the groove-heavy “Dancing in the Dark.” It unexpectedly became his biggest hit to date, rising to No. 2 and the song’s video made Springsteen a regular on MTV, where he was previously barely seen.
Before long, Springsteen was as popular as the rock critics who championed him always said he’d be. “Born in the U.S.A.” topped the charts for seven weeks and went 15 times platinum domestically. The Boss had always been a huge concert draw; now his album sales were matching his live reputation. Seven hit singles were pulled from the album.

Springsteen might have seemed destined to be a household name, but Prince certainly wasn’t. Three years earlier, he went over so badly as an opening act for the Rolling Stones that he left their tour after just two dates. Yet “1999,” from 1982, gave him a Top 10 album and a trio of hits. When “Purple Rain” came out as a film and a soundtrack, the public was finally ready, maybe because Michael Jackson had paved the way for an African-American to reign.
“Purple Rain” stayed at the top of the album charts for nearly half the year, selling 13 million copies and spawning four Top 10 hits. Two of those hits went to No. 1; one of them, “When Doves Cry,” was the year’s top single.

All over the place- Not only were the top artists of 1984 not classifiable by style, neither were some of the other artists who made significant musical contributions. Run-D.M.C. released their groundbreaking debut album, which gave rap a less kinder, gentler feel and changed the rules of the genre. The film “Beat Street” was then considered a “break-dancing movie,” but in retrospect brought New York hip hop to the mainstream (along with pioneering rappers Afrika Bambaataa and Kool Moe Dee).

The indie rock scene found hardcore favorites Hüsker Dü release not one but two of their best albums, “Zen Arcade” and “New Day Rising.” The Replacements showed the first signs of being seriously great with “Let it Be” and the Bangles and R.E.M. offered two releases that were arguably their strongest of the 1980s, “All Over the Place” and “Reckoning.”

There was also a lot of commercial music only moms and dads could stand, but if you couldn’t handle the syrupy Phil Collins and Lionel Richie stuff, you could rock out to Billy Idol and Van Halen, both of whom put out some of their best work. The year even ended on a high note with the charity single “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” by the all-star group Band Aid.
When 1984 began, critics feared the still-novel MTV might seriously damage pop music by popularizing musicians who were more about looks than talent. For a moment that year it seemed the video revolution might not be so bad after all. That moment passed, of course.

I have been thinking and writing some about the 25 year reunion that is just around the corner and this song is stuc in my head.....25 years....25 years....

What's Up lyrics by Linda Perry of 4 non-blondes

Twenty-five years and my life is still

Trying to get up that great big hill of hope

For a destination

And I realized quickly when I knew

I should

That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man

For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes

When I'm lying in bed

Just to get it all out

What's in my head

And I am feeling a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning

And I step outside

And I take a deep breath

and I get real high

And I scream at the top of my lungs

What's going on?

And I say, hey hey hey hey

I said hey, what's going on?

ooh, ooh ooh and I try, oh my god do I try

I try all the time, in this institution

And I pray, oh my god do I pray

I pray every single day

For a revolution

And so I cry sometimes

When I'm lying in bed

Just to get it all out

What's in my head

And I am feeling a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning

And I step outside

And I take a deep breath and I get real high

And I scream at the top of my lungs

What's going on?

And I say, hey hey hey hey I said hey, what's going on?

Twenty-five years and my life is still

Trying to get up that great big hill of hope

For a destination

The King of POP is dead

2009-06-27T10:21:00.002-04:00

Michael Jackson, 1958-2009
June 26, 2009, 2:10 AM EST
The King of Pop is dead
By Jonathan Zwickel Special to MSN Music
The King of Pop is dead.

Michael Jackson, the world's most successful entertainer, died Thursday afternoon in Los Angeles of apparent cardiac arrest. He was 50 years old. (I think everyone in the world knows this by now....hey I've been busy with my job.)

There is no questioning the gifts Jackson gave millions of people around the world. His humanitarianism is well documented, going back decades. (In 2000, he made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for "Most Charities Supported By a Pop Star." The number was 39.) His sales figures -- records, videos, concert tours -- are unparalleled. He never underestimated his audience or lived to any standard higher than his own. His music was always joyful, even at its darkest, and smart, even at its most accessible. It was the pinnacle of populism, the source of his royal title.

Over the past decade, Jackson fell victim to America's orgiastic cult of celebrity -- a gutless opportunism he unwittingly helped spawn. Personal problems and public scrutiny overshadowed the image of pop genius he cultivated during the 1980s. For the last year or so, Jackson was a recluse and an invalid, shepherded via wheelchair by a phalanx of handlers, seemingly enlivened only by his three young children. But for all the exaggerated reports of weirdness and allegations of sexual deviance, Jackson, or at least the idea of him, remained magnetic. Earlier this year he sold out 50 concerts at London's O2 Arena -- some 1 million tickets -- in a matter of hours. Whatever the news, his fans believed him still capable of magic.

Classmate Information -1984-Connie Flick Seybert

2008-04-06T13:58:00.003-04:00

Tammy Swisher Tarlecky recently sent out an email for the CLASS of 1984 from Bloomsburg Area High School that she has been in contact with one our classmates-Connie Flick-Seybert over the past few months. I thought I would post it here: Some of you may already know about Connie Flick Seybert and her son Colton and some of you may not, but I (Tammy) have asked Connie if there is anything the Class of '84 can do for her and her family during this most difficult struggle they face everyday. This is what she told me.........

On June 7, 2007, Colton was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He is on a 3 to 4 year treatment plan for a full recovery. He is in the high risk category which makes his survival rate at 70to 80%. One of the easiest things I can ask of people is to pray for a complete recovery.

Another one is donating blood. Colton received three units of blood and two units of platelets just in the last two weeks. If people are able, I would ask of them to donate blood or platelets whenever they can or as often as they are eligible. It helps save lives and when you personally know someone who is benefiting from your donation it makes it easy to donate. Colton visited our local blood donation center to see how it works and to thank the people who were there giving at the time for their donation. John and I did this on our own because we thought it was important that Colton see where the blood that he receives comes from and to thank the people who give of their time to donate. The day we visited the donation center there wasnʼt a dry eye in the place. The people donating were very moved by Colton being there and thanking them personally.

Another is email communication. Iʼm either at home or in the hospital a lot because Coltonʼs immune system is too low to be in public or at school, as he may get sick, and if he gets sick we are back in the hospital. I would love to get an occasional email from friends.

The hardest thing I can ask for is financial assistance. Our church, Montverde United Methodist Church, set up a Medical Expense Trust Fund for Colton. People can raise money and/or donate to Coltonʼs trust fund and it is all tax deductable. Example: The benefit my brother and sisters did at the Millville Fire Hall in Nov 2007, several friends have had yard sales and donated the money raised to the fund, my friends & family put together Coltonʼs Cookbook of Cookies and sold them, our church had a pancake breakfast, my family sold candy bars, and there is a Coins for Colton campaign going on where there are coin jars in restaurants to raise money for Colton (Stephʼs Sub up on Main street is one of the restaurants participating in this, there are others in your area). With is account set up we are able to submit Coltonʼs medical bills to the trust fund and they pay them. In January 2008, I received three bills in two days totaling over $1500.00. It was so nice and less stressful on us knowing we could submit the bills to the church and they would pay them. The trust fund information is as follows:

Montverde United Methodist Church
PO Box 560608
Montverde, FL 34756
Pleas Mark in the memo field of the check that it is for ʽColtonʼs trust fundʼ, and you will receive a tax donation slip in the mail from the church.

Connie's email is: connie@coltonsworld.com

As you can see it's been a hard time for her family. Anything that anyone can provide from the the above I am sure they will greatly appreciate.

On another sad note, this past Saturday, Connie's sister Paula was in a really bad accident here in town. Connie is actually in town now to be with the family by Paula's bedside. Her sister is in Geisinger and the last I heard, things were not looking good. Please keep her in your prayers, as well.

Might As Well Jump

2008-03-12T17:45:00.000-04:00

I have fond memories of 1984 because one of the greatest experiences of my life happened that year. On March 21, 1984, I saw the mighty Van Halen at the Spectrum in Philadelphia (the original Spectrum, that is.) This was my first major concert experience (I'm not counting The Beach Boys at the Bloomsburg Fair), and I had no idea what to expect. I was just thrilled to be seeing my heroes live in front of my naked steamin' eyes.

And let me just say this - I LOVED Van Halen. Eddie was my own personal Jesus, and Dave was my Elvis. I absorbed everything I could find about them - every album (remember albums?), every article, every utterance. I grew my hair out (remember hair?), sewed patches on my jeans and wore a bandana around my neck so I could be just like Eddie. I watched the videos for "Jump" and "Hot For Teacher" every time they were on (which was about 3 times an hour at one point), and pulled several muscles trying to do split-jumps like Diamond Dave. Van Halen ruled my world. And I was going to get to see them LIVE.

I remember the haze that formed in the Spectrum before the opening band even started (the band was Autograph, if you care... and I know you do). The girls in front of me wanted to roll joints with the program that I bought. Of course, I turned them down (yes, I was an idiot). The openers were OK, but when the lights went down before Van Halen, I was ready for the main event (and you know what? I still love that moment when the lights go down before the main band, and you can see some movement on the stage, and then BAM!! the lights come up and the band explodes into the first song... an all-out assault on your ears and your mind and your whole frikkin' way of seeing things. Cameron Crowe captured this feeling perfectly in "Almost Famous"... but I digress)

The show was amazing. Van Halen were at the absolute peak of their powers at this point. Diamond Dave as the full-on Robert Plant crossed with Carmen Miranda crossed with a carnival barker crossed with Bruce Lee. Eddie being Eddie - running from one end of the stage to the other, playing those impossible licks while jumping around like a Sufi mystic. Michael Anthony being the anchor. Alex hidden behind a butt load of drums. They played all the favorites. Dave forgot the words (Whooo!!). Eddie played his solo (this was my first exposure to the "Eh-Dee! Eh-Dee! Eh-Dee!" chant). Alex set his gong on fire. They looked like they were having a great time. The lighting was amazing, the stage was cool, the boys frikkin' cooked, and my fragile eggshell mind was omlettized forever.

Of course, nothing perfect lasts - Dave left the band the next year, and Van Halen became a bit of a punchline with their ever-changing lead singers (who is it this week?) But let the record show, I never took sides. I loved "Van Hagar", and I loved Dave's solo stuff ("Eat 'Em And Smile" and "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" are both on my list of desert island CD's). I saw both Dave and Van Halen live several times over the years, and each time was amazing (with the highlight being the front-row spot I had in Richmond, Va, for Van Halen on the OU812 tour. I even got a guitar pick!).

And the Gary Cherone era? Never happened. No, really... it DID NOT happen.

So now, it's almost 25 years later. And once again, I'm going to see the mighty Van Halen. Things have changed a wee bit: Eddie's son is playing bass. Dave lost his hair and is a part-time EMT in New York City. Eddie is grayer and doesn't jump around as much due to his artificial hip. They're completely ignoring the 20+ years worth of music that they've made since 1984. Oh, and there's the wee problem of Eddie's ongoing medical issues, which may derail the tour before I even get there.

I've had tons of live music experiences since then, but I don't think anything will ever top the first time I saw Van Halen in 1984. And even if I don't get to see them again, that's OK. I still have my albums...oops... I mean "mp3's", and I still have my memories. And if my memory fails (this is happening more and more frequently) , there's always YouTube (like this here clip).

"Look at all the people here tonight!!"

Amen, Dave. Amen.
