Wow, Sparkomatic! I put their speakers in my first car; a 1970 Plymouth Fury I bought from my dad. I haven't thought of that brand in years. Definitely a step up from the crappy Chrysler speakers that came with the car but hardly great speakers considering they were easily available at places like K-Mart.

Sparkomatic is now Altec Lansing.

Apparently time-travelling from the future at this point...

You know, I've always wondered about that. Rob drowns himself in metal garb these days (especially the studded trench coat) so much that it's hard for me to tell if he's just fuller than back then or actually fat. The goatee doesn't help either. Not that it matters, but it's always had me curious. I do kind of miss the leather vest he used to wear with no shirt.

At his age, I'm not sure ANYBODY would benefit from seeing him running around in an open shirt, no matter how thin he was.

"All seats reserved $15.50-$14.50"
You pay that much in service charges alone these days.
I wonder if anyone gave them sh*t for "selling out" back then. Promoting your album is one thing, but shilling for Sparkomatic speakers? Oh dear!!

Massive quantities of cocaine is very slimming.

Very interesting to see. A nostalgia trip through the way back machine.

The only one of these I remember is the Turbo card commercial.
