Elon Musk's Vision of Becoming a Multi-Planetary Species

Tracks 83: Music Mix 1983

When I was little, before we had MTV, I looked forward to the weekends and staying up late to watch Night Tracks on TBS. For me, Night Tracks became the looking glass to a totally different world.

Being from deep south Texas, a Catholic conservative and predominantly Mexican-American area, watching Boy George (Culture Club) was something very new, but my parents never censored my viewing habits--although, my mom still changes the channel when there is a sex scene on TV.

I was seven years old when I was exposed to the amazing world of music videos. Videos gave life to the music on the radio. And as a very imaginative kid, it allowed me to mimic performances and dances, especially Michael Jackson's Billie Jean and Jennifer Beals' Flashdance dance moves.

R.I.P. Hugh Hefner...

I remember being a few months shy of 18 and subscribing to Playboy magazine. Back then, magazine subscriptions were done by mail, and I believe I ordered my Playboy through a catalog I was provided at a college fair.

I checked the mailbox daily waiting for my magazine to be delivered. Finally, it was delivered and I quickly fell in love with cover girl Heidi Mark and Playmate Becky DeLosSantos.

Then another Playmates were introduced, and I fell in love with each and every one, especially the the following:

May 1994 - Christy Shae Marks
September 1994 - Kelly Gallagher
May 1995 - Cynthia Gwyn Brown

And of course, I thank the late and great Hugh Hefner for introducing gorgeous women to the 18 year old me. Because of him, I came to appreciate the female body in a very tasteful and respectful way.
