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.
