    Thomas Dolby’s “She Blinded Me With Science” was on the jukebox with 6 strategically placed speakers in one of the greatest  bars I’ve ever had the pleasure of getting plastered in. It was a cute little song that along with the other retro-pop bands of the ’80′s we  played over & over again. The bar of course was “The Firefly” on Hollywood and Vine, in Hollywood,Ca. Oh. sweet clouded memories.                                                                                                                                                  FRANK ANTHONY RAINONE lll (sTILL ROCKIN’ @ 62)
