I had many different boomboxes until I invested about a grand worth of grocery-bagging money into a stereo system.  ;D   I never carried my boombox around on my shoulder like the bruthas did, though!

Pac Man---There was that song, that terrible song "Pac Man Fever" by Buckner and Garcia.  Oh, did I get to hate that song!  It had a super-annoying chorus that would get stuck in my head: "Pac-man fever, pac-man fever, it's driving my crazy, driving me crazy!"
There is now the Official Buckner and Garcia Pac Man Fever website.  http://www.bucknergarcia.comIs that sad or what?  If I was them, I'd just work quietly at my accounting job, and wouldn't tell nobody I was one of the "Pac Man Fever" guys (let alone the fact that I wrote another song called "Froggy's Lament")
Don't get me wrong, I loved to play Pac Man just like any other kid, but it wasn't an all-consuming obsession.  No, setting stuff on fire was more my bag!

I saw Yes during the 90125 tour in Wyoming Michigan at Lamar Park. I was wearing my Chams shirt with removeable sleeves, grey parachute pants, and red Chucks. Great show :)

p.s. Don't knock Pac-Man Fever! That time period was the greatest time of my life, and I fondly look back on every spiky-haired, cheesy moment!  ;D

I remember! However I never wore parachute pants. Mostly jeans. I did have boom box. That damn thing never left my side and always played METAL. Great times.
As far as wrist bands, I would wrap a bandana around each wrist. Great friggin times.
