The Lost Marty Weintraub Rockstar Pictures
Posted by Manny Rivas on October 11th 2009 in SEM Poetry Slam | 28 comments
It’s been interesting to note search journalists lobbing tongue and cheek verbiage like “PPC rockstar,” “Social Media rockstar” and other mutually indulgent hyperbole at Marty.
All seriousness aside, we were cleaning out the office today and found a poster, circa 1985, that left the weekend aimClear crew howling. In a momentary haze, Marty gave me permission to publish these pictures and I wanted to do so before he changed his mind!
Yup that’s Marty alright! He says:
“in retrospect I looked a lot like a much less attractive version of my mother. Back in the day I used a LOT of AquaNet extra-hold and (obviously) took things a bit too seriously
.”
Anyway, we hope you enjoy this blast from the past…

Charlie Adams went on to be Yanni’s Drummer. In those days he was known as the upside drummer who soloed to the William Tell Overture strapped into a machine. He was the pride of Mr. Nibbs Minneapolis and a hell of a drummer. He was my roommate for about a year and…umm…I could tell you…um…stories.
I don’t know about Shane (AKA “Wild Weasel”), Donny Paulson played in the Teddy Bear Band until his retirement and lots at Minnesota State Fairs for years. As for me, I’m thinking it’s about time to publish some the music from the mid 80′s to the mid 90′s.
Thanks for all of the fun today. We’re thinking we should publish the music videos :O)

Joanna, order a shirt for me too. hehe
