thoughts: Talk about a flash from the past. When folks loved to go to clubs and – dance. Not rub up or hold up a wall, but actually DANCE! When MTV actually meant MUSIC VIDEOS. When Video World Premieres were a reason to watch T.V. so folks could talk about and recreate the video. “The Pleasure Principle” was one of those videos that captured viewers and had people try to re-enact the chair and mirror scenes as if they had timing or rhythm. The good ‘ol days.
