That's me up front (where they placed me) dancing in the black and white headband, it was a fun shoot but a long day, George was a sweetheart, all the guys and crew were. I never understood why they inserted all the big time wrestling clips when they edited it, except that it was pretty big on MTV at the time with the whole Cindy Lauper & her big time wrestling connection. I worked for MTV and got a copy on of this on VHS from their library, but this ones much better, thanks :)

So who do you recognize in the video? I got Jimmy Valiant, The Road Warriors, Piper is fighting Valentine, Dusty is taking on Flair, and I believe Tully and maybe Slater, Bob Orton Jr, Ricky Steamboat, Kabuki, Bugsy McGraw, Flair and Kerry and then the Von Erichs/Freebirds, of course Adrian Street makes an appearance as Little Willy, I think that is Thunderbolt Patterson, you can't miss Abby. Anybody I am missing?

On the auditory, in 2020. Always loved George. Feel he's along the vein of Billy Idol and even b4, Lou Reed and Townshend. My opinion. Always dug how his FACE looks exactly as if that gravelly croon would be the likely noise to emerge from it. Empathy for the HILLBILLY in him, I reckon. Hell yes. Bad ass as ALWAYS. LOVE it.

I worked in talent relations as an assistant. Everyone was really nice and it was such a fun job. This was shot in Cincinnati, OH, believe it or not, in 1984 or 85...and in an old blues/jazz bar. I just happened to be in Cincinnati (I lived there during my Jr. High and High school days), and my MTV connections knew this and invited me to be in the video.
