From the early 80’s cult film, “Get Crazy” we have a series of bands who played at the fictitious Saturn Theatre (modeled after the famous Filmore East) for their 15^th New Year’s Eve Show. The show opened with King of the Blues, who was named appropriately, King Blues. Played by Blues/Jazz singer, Bill Henderson, it was a nice kickoff to the show, but openers are generally not Hall of Fame worthy.



The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Get Crazy (1983)

Actor:
Bill Henderson

Songs you might remember:
The Blues had a Baby and Named it Rock and Roll

Why you should vote for him:
There is something about a cool Blues Man you have to like.

Why you should not vote for him:
In this rarely seen film, perhaps a Blues Man who opened the show is not the best choice.

Here is one we thought we buried forever. Lasting for almost ten years, Kids Incorporated was a Saturday Morning show that featured a bunch of kids singing Pop Music covers. In the real canon of modern pop culture it is the show that first launched the career of Stacy Ferguson who we all know as “Fergie”. Beyond that this was standard Disney drivel that was best forgotten.

In what we thought was one of the more interesting cartoons of the 1980’s, Kidd Video was an MTV inspired creation that was half live, half animated and all Rock and Roll. The premise was a teen band that gets transported to the “Flipside”, which is animated and an evil record producer with the hope of making them their musical slaves chases them. A video would end each episode, and though there were only 22 created, it still resonates fond memories for many today.

The Rock and Wrestling connection took the pop culture world by storm in the mid-80’s and Hollywood took notice by making a film…that wasn’t very good. Played by a bunch of nobodies, Kick was the band who went on the road with Rowdy Roddy Piper and Face from the A-Team. It was a good thing that Piper was there as he distracted from the fact that Kick…sucked.
