Summary of Back to the 80s INTERVIEWS from Kickin' it Old School
12.16.10 (9:05 am)   [edit]

Now that interviews are actually becoming a significant part of Kickin' it Old School, here is a summary with links for each of those brushes with 80s pop culture greatness. When the opportunity has presented itself to ask a few questions to someone who contributed to the awesomeness of the 80s, it has been my privilege to share those answers with you right here. There is a permanent link in the left-hand column that takes you back to this summary any time you need to. Check back often because new interviews are being posted regularly.

I loved your interview with Franne Golde! She's a spectacular human being and a truly artistic, creative soul. She is part of the fabric of the eighties, big time!
