.....then a few years later i discovered a website dedicated to now explosion and one of the creators was this mariilyn.....upon closer inspection of the site i found an interview with marilyn and was disgusted to hear her say when asked where she got the idea/inspiration and she had the nerve to say that one day a few years prior she just out of the blue remembered now explosion.......

now this is what i LOVE about the internet, those who use ideas without acknowledging the source (steal) or as in her case just flat out lie to make themselves look clever, get exposed for the leeches they are!

imagine little old me getting robin williamsed by some broad trying to make a name for herself named marilyn

The Tasty Dog Cafe on Simpson aka Joeseph Boon Blvd.

One of the only places (that I know of) where you can buy a bottle of grey goose or whatever else you like on a Sunday. Not to mention they were open 24/7 and the food wasnt bad either. APD shut it down recently and I was

A guy I went to HS with was in a Now Explosion video...the song was Come Saturday Morning by the Sandpipers, and the video was of him and some girl walking around town holding hands and looking at stuff.

Sadly, the Wolfman passed; however I think Donna (his daughter) is still selling furniture.

And who can remember the name of the car dealer that always ended his commercials with "and HEY, we're in Decatur."
