6. Was
And with the help of the birth of VHS, probably broke porn into the mainstream, too (Deep Throat was limited to theaters in bigger cities when it came out).

She's a "regular" actress now, and recently penned her autobiography.

15. She wasn't in that flick n/t
Edited on Mon Mar-29-04 07:26 PM by asthmaticeog
Also, none of the stuff she was in is on VHS because she was proved to be underage for her entire career in adult films. It'd be illegal to have it.

8. Maybe for the MTV crowd
Curiousity about Traci got it into the record stores and clubs first.

7. I'm not even gonna START
on the many, many things wrong with this thread...:scared:

Just wanted to say that was one HELL of a scare that X gave Duke last night, and had Myles not fouled out so early (:grr:) I daresay there would have likely been and entirely different outcome. :hi:

13. When does electronica become mainstream?
Jeez. I can probably find a half-dozen FM stations in any given radio market playing the same crappy "classic" and RIAA-approved "alternative" rock, but I have to tune in to some obscure community or college radio station after midnight to find decent trance or industrial.

17. It's mainstream and yet it's not
Very unusual setup. Almost everyone at my university listens to electronica music and raves but at the same time you're right: they're aren't any radio stations that play the music.

It's very odd. I don't get it either.
