Johnny What’s crazy is in 1987 the cameras were so big, they won’t think he is crazy because they know he is recording himself. Today, some cameras are so small, it does look like people are talking to themselves lol.

*What’s crazy is in 1987 the cameras were so big, they won’t think he is crazy because they know he is recording himself.* Yes, they would've thought he was crazy for filming himself out in public. At the time, camcorders were reserved for special occasions (e.g. birthdays, graduations, weddings, vacations) or goofing off at home. Also, people normally recorded others or their surroundings. I never knew anyone to point the camera at themselves and talk to it, especially when out and about. It would've been seen as narcissistic and pointless. There was no Internet on which to share such videos. Not to mention you would look awkward doing it with a clunky camcorder.

hello, I want to express my feelings here. I am a Turk and I met Nelson Sullivan, the owner of these videos, on KZbin 4 years ago. although he doesn't know me, he must feel in his grave that I admire him. I watch all of his videos and I spend most of my time on KZbin with his videos. I understand that you may be surprised and find crazy about what I said, but it makes me feel good. As someone who loves nostalgia, I can say that I am not an American, but I remembered that I am a human being at a time when technology has developed so much. What we feel, our feelings, our love and longing have no language, religion or race. I enjoy watching his videos, it's like I'm on a life journey with him, I love you my friend. RIP🙏

I must confess I did not know Nelson Sullivan. Watching his videos, which were somehow ahead of their time, I got the feeling he was a sort of capturer of the New York City feel. I think they are very few those who could deliver the true soul of this city during what they were probably their best years. I just can say that I regret I didn't live in New York City in the 1980s. Fortunately enough, Nelson's collection on KZbin allows me to immerge myself in that fantastic period. Thank you Nelson, and may you rest in peace.

Just a thought that if Nelson was born again after his death in 1989, he would be in his 20s now and probably doing new age vlogging somewhere and if he watches these videos, he would see his after life. 😮

Wow! Didn’t know he smoked! He must have quit. Yay Nelson!!! You can tell this was early in his “video-ing” (ha - cute!) career as he’s so self conscious. Bless his heart! I wish I had a time machine & could zap myself back to 1987 to give him a hug & tell him it will all be ok.

Nightwave Radio I was in the same scene in a different city (Atlanta.) We even had a Limelight here, owned by the same people I think... I’m not proud of it but I did plenty of drugs in the 80’s and early 90’s. I’m still alive as are most of my friends from those years. A few did pass away & I miss them very much but no, we aren’t all dead!
