October 4 1987 brings back SO many memories. I remember the very today this was on after The Factory at midday. I recorded Culture Club from this episode and first saw Boy George's SOLD on this. I have asked rage to play this episode. Sigh, where did the time go. I loved my Rock Arena!
I SO WANT the ROCK ARENA below!
