One day during the summer of 1978 I got invited to this cool party. I knew many of the guests, although an older crowd for me because I was just out of my teens. It was a warm sunny afternoon. I was standing next to the bar trying to get a Seven-Up. Suddenly, this lovely girl started to strip down right in front of me. I only had a wide-angle 28 mm camera lens, not really wide enough for the moment, so I backed up as far as I could, almost knocking over the bar. You have to do the best you can in these situations.
Back then it was not too much of a big deal going to a Mega Mansion party in Beverly Hills with nude girls because I attended three or four of these a week!
"A middle-aged, regal, but not terribly attractive woman in a sea-green silk dress embroidered with sequins in the fashionable ‘short in front and long in back’ style. With eyebrows as thick and dark as Groucho’s, lipstick and matching nail varnish obviously ‘Jungle Red’, and hair done in a curiously old-fashioned forties’ style, which was echoed in her ankle-strapped, platform-soled stilettos, she was a formidable sight. When each guest was brought over to greet her, she extended her hand graciously, giving a more than passable imitation of our own dear queen. When Jimmy introduced me as ‘one of England’s newest and brightest young stars’, Miss Crawford didn’t take my outstretched hand. Her eyes swept me dismissively from top to toe, her lip curling disdainfully at my low-cut white organza top and full black and white tulle skirt. She obviously didn’t like what she saw so she didn’t deign to speak to me, but chatted animatedly to Jimmy. I wanted to tell her that my mother, a great Crawford fan, had named me after her, but I didn’t think she would have the stomach for such trivia." - Joan Collins

Originally released in 1973, 'The Dark Side of The Moon' became Pink Floyd's first number 1 album in the US, remaining on the chart for 741 weeks between 1973 and 1988. One of the best-selling and most critically acclaimed albums of all time, The Dark Side of The Moon also introduced the iconic album cover artwork by Hipgnosis, after a request for a 'simple and bold' design.
The album was re-mastered in 2011 and Discovery (1CD), Experience (2CD), Immersion (6CD) and vinyl editions are currently available. Go to http://www.whypinkfloyd.com for more details.

The Monkees - (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone (1966) HQ
MUNROWS RETRO
Oh no! Has Munrow lost his mind and become .. a Monkees maniac??? More mindless psychedelic fun coming your way, this time from the famous TV rock band, The Monkees. "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" was probably one of the best songs the group ever did, becoming a very popular surprise hit for the psychedelic crowd. As the B-side of the #1 hit "I'm A Believer," it charted in its own right at #20 on Billboard (#25 on Cash Box) for the last two weeks of December 1966. Not too shabby for a B-side! Oh, and yes ... I NEVER missed an episode, a big Monkees fan at the time (age 13), although I can't remember one single show now ... LOL!
One Direction (from left, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Harry Styles) will perform on July 31 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Not every musical act inspires fans to make posters, decorate their cars and paint their faces before attending a concert.
But One Direction is exactly that type of act.
The English-Irish group known for worldwide hits "What Makes You Beautiful" and "Story of My Life" will make its Indianapolis debut by headlining Lucas Oil Stadium on July 31. Tickets for the 7 p.m. show are priced $26.50 to $99.50. For more information, visit Ticketmaster.com.
The quartet of Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan is the latest in a long tradition of hot acts causing a commotion in Indianapolis:
1. The Beatles
(A tearful Beatles fan pleads with a police officer to deliver a gift to Ringo Starr when the Fab Four performed on Sept. 4, 1964, at the Indiana State Fair)
Local Beatlemania exploded on Sept. 3, 1964, when the band played Indiana State Fair concerts at both the Coliseum and Grandstand. WIFE-AM (1310) radio personality Jerry Baker introduced the Fab Four to the Coliseum audience of 13,000. Intense crowd noise, which Baker remembers as "scary in a positive way," filled the arena. "It reached the point where I thought, 'I'm going deaf up here,' " Baker told The Indianapolis Star in 2001. "Of course, when they came on stage, the reaction of the crowd never stopped from start to finish. I saw young men crying. The emotion level was as high as I've ever seen for a concert."
2. Elvis Presley
(Fans line up outside Market Square Arena to purchase tickets for Elvis Presley’s 1977 show at the venue, which proved to be his final public performance)
Country singer Hank Snow topped the bill when Elvis Presley played his first shows in Indianapolis, Dec. 4-7, 1955, at the bygone Lyric Theater on Illinois Street. But the city plays a large role in Presley's touring history, with his June 25, 1977, concert at Market Square Arena standing as his final concert performance before his death seven weeks later. The Star reported that Elvis maintained drawing power to the end: "Men in leisure suits, women with permanents and teens and sub-teens in dungarees descended 18,000 strong on Market Square Arena, clutching tickets purchased two months ago for up to $15 apiece — even higher amongst scalpers."
3. The Monkees
(Fans await the arrival of the Monkees at Market Square Arena in 1986. Three members of the Monkees, Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork, celebrated their 20th anniversary with a reunion tour)
The Monkees finally made it to Indianapolis two decades after the made-for-TV band emerged in 1966. The group's 20th anniversary reunion tour visited Market Square Arena in 1986. Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith starred in "The Monkees" sitcom for two seasons on NBC. Nesmith sat out the 1986 tour, but Jones, Dolenz and Tork performed signature hits "I'm a Believer," "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and "Daydream Believer." Jones died in 2012, seven months after the Monkees played a 45th-anniversary tour date at the Murat Theatre in Old National Centre (also without Nesmith).
4. Michael Jackson
(Michael Jackson performed twice at Market Square Arena in 1988)
The Jackson Five brought their 1971 and 1972 tours to the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Michael Jackson, who earned his "King of Pop" nickname by making joy-infused dance hits and empathetic ballads, made his biggest splash in Indianapolis when he played two dates at Market Square Arena during 1988's "Bad" tour. The Gary native was named "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time" by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2006. Jackson died in 2009.
5. New Kids on the Block
(Danny Wood of New Kids on the Block poses with fan JoAnna Renche after a 1990 concert at Market Square Arena. Lebanon resident Renche won an Indianapolis Star essay contest)
New Kids on the Block didn't skip chances to play Indianapolis at the height of the group's popularity. The boy band headlined five shows at major concert venues between August 1989 and November 1990 (the Indiana State Fair, two dates at Market Square Arena and two dates at Deer Creek Music Center). The fair show attracted a record crowd of 18,509 at the Grandstand. Before one of the Market Square Arena concerts, The Star sponsored an essay contest that awarded concert tickets and a backstage visit to winner JoAnna Renche.
