What a pleasure to see Erika Belle explaining the early 80's in New York. Good Evening. It's Sunday night; Kim and I are back from our trip through the Southwest, and after seeing David Kaye at Sidewalk, we happily watched a show about Madonna's early influences which VH1 broadcasted concurrent with "Alias."

-- Hot blazing 97FM had already alerted me to the importance of Alias when they said its sponsor would allow its first episode to run without commercial interruption --

Anyway, VH1 wisely contacted Erika to explain the late era of disco during shows they say connect with fashion week.

Her work is inspiring. Needless to say I'm a big fan, and yes, I like Madonna, too.
