The Cars.
A group of us trendsters went to Bogarts in Cinncy, right when their first album broke. We liked them so much we all wore buttons we'd made with a snazzy new button making machine
(Buttons were big in the punk/new wave late 70's!
) We used pix's of the guys from the album sleeve.
They were just starting to get airplay, and to see actual people (that they didn't know) wearing buttons of them really surprised them
....it was fun.
So a couple years later, when they played their "big" concert at Market Square Arena, in our hometown......the Cars threw an after set party for the loyal fans at the Hyatt. That was kind of nice.....

Dallas used to rock BIG time.
