Seeking the Great Go Retro Scoop

Photo credit: Mathieu Meunier

I know this blog has been quiet of late…and it's going to be even quieter as I'm leaving for Washington D.C. on Thursday for a mini-vacation and to see the cherry blossoms in the nation's capitol. In the meantime, there's something that's been on my mind lately. Go Retro is now six years old and in all that time there is a type of post I would love to do which hasn't been accomplished yet and that's to interview somebody. That's right, I'm looking for a great scoop--so consider this an open call to find someone relevant to pop culture history who wouldn't mind answering a few questions for this blog. Some of the subjects I have in mind include:

*Someone who co-starred in a notable music video from the 80s who might have a story or two about the band/performer and the behind the scenes going-ons (I came close a few years ago when I almost got the woman who starred as Alice in Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" video, but she flaked on me. Pfffft. Her loss, right?)

*Someone who worked behind the scenes on a notable TV sitcom or variety show from the 60s, 70s or 80s.

*A former Playboy bunny who worked in one of the Playboy clubs

*A former go-go or backup dancer for any of those variety/music shows

*A roadie or groupie for a band/performer from the 60s, 70s or 80s

*Someone who worked for or had a close encounter with the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, or any other notable music group/performer from the era.

You get my drift. Anyone who has a good story to tell. If you or someone you know fits the bill, feel free to email me at GoRetro1@hotmail.com.
