THE DAYS OF RAVE

Watched a Documentary on Factory Records yesterday.

Went into the whole history of the Hacienda Etc…they started the Raves in 1984 that lead to the Summer of Love in 1988 thanks to Mike Pikering.

You know I did not know that New Order practically funded the Hacienda & they did not even know till the end how much of their unpaid royalties also paid for the Hacienda.

But what I got out of it was what the feeling of The Raves were all about.

It was about the Music, The Drugs, The Lights…the combination of all of these things.

No one gave a fuck about the VIP, & being Blinged Out, there seemed to be less ego’s then.

All you wanted to do was be in the middle of the floor, & hear & feel that fucking music with 1000’s of people wanting do the same fucking thing.

Get on One & Lets ‘Ave it !!!

Be Well.
