Roadblocks
Anyone who grew up in the Knoxville, Tennessee area around the mid/late 80's will surely remember Tony's VIP. It was an under 18 "club", the likes of which knoxville had never seen and hasn't since, for the under 18 crowd, I'm guessing. It was truly a special time for all.
From Rockwood Queenies to Sunday night roadblocks, Tony's VIP offered a lot of potential for the average high school reamer to venture out and meet some lovelies from the other area high schools.
Sadly, for the Oooh Crew, as we came to be known, we never quite harnessed our ability at this time. Too content with numbers and statistics, we watched one night as one of our own, Ronnie "Rockin' R" Davis approached 43 girls, only to get shot down 40 times. Ronnie, sadly deceased now, gave it his all. I really have to hand it to him -- he got 3 yes's.
That's all that really matters...
At the time, this local venue was also the site of several tribute tour bands.
If anyone remembers the heyday of this locale (which is now the Volvo dealer in town), feel free to leave your comments below...
Many more blogs will follow on a range of topics from UT football to life in general. I am going to try to style this blog after Seinfeld, the show about nothing. So, here you have it --the blog about nothing.
Talk to you soon,

I remember rolling the the Blondes, Brunettes, and Redheads competitions. That was the best action west of Omni Lane.
It was an armpit for teenie bopper girls to roam around tee-hee-heeing trying to get some attention and validation
