!!! BSB do Heavy Metal Parking Lot and I love it

http://noolmusic.com/music_video/backstreet_boys_-_just_want_you_to_know.php

So guess what was filmed 25 years ago today?

A 'where is he now?' story up today about one of the participants.

Is it as good as American Hi-Fi's homage to same?

Could you repeat that please.

that BSB song is so good.

I was hoping the update would be about the guy who says, "This is my girlfriend . . . she's thirteeeeeen."

He was joining the military, wonder if that happened and where he is today.

The Deranged True Story Of Heavy Metal Parking Lot, The Citizen Kane Of Wasted Teenage Metalness

This article traces the whole history of this --from the recording of it 30 years ago to how Kurt Cobain, Sofia Coppola and others came to love it. Plus the writer catches up with Zebraman and others from the film tody, to see what they're up to now and gets them to look back

I was hoping the update would be about the guy who says, "This is my girlfriend . . . she's thirteeeeeen."

In NYC Friday June 17

To celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of this cult landmark, Anthology Film Archives will present HMPL and other Krulik chronicles, including his latest, Led Zeppelin Played Here (2014), a deep dive into an apocryphal 1969 performance by the blues-rock quartet at a rinky-dink community center in a D.C. exurb. Krulik will be in attendance for all the screenings, his avidity for eccentric enthusiasts undimmed.
