I've been there too! We were on a road trip through SD and my sisters convinced my mom to pull over - I think it cost $20 for us all to get in. If you think it looks depressing as...

Whoa ... what memories! I'm wondering if anyone has any info about the bands in the early/mid/late 60s. I used to go to the Rugged Room, if anyone remembers it (on Alameda?). There's one band in particular I would like to find out if any recordings exist. Anyone remember "Fuzz", from Thornton? "Lothar and the Hand People"? KIMN radio had a battle of the bands at the Denver Arena downtown (gee, I think that was the name of it - it's now part of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts). Maybe there's a good website with this kind of...

(Chorus group again) Now, is this any way to bank, any way to bank? Driving 'round in circles while you're...
