Thank you very very much!!!!! Rick and I were good friends. I spent a lot of time on the dance floor moving to the music before the club even got going, each night. The music made my life. I drove him around when he was ill, he was always great.

CDEV on your post about NIN. I don’t recall video bar hosting NIN you sure it was not the Bomb factory. I recall seeing them their early 90′s. As a matter of fact Trent just signed Manson. It was his first performance in Dallas. I recall hanging over the steel scaffolding looking at this strange ass character. dressed up as a witch, very convincing by the way. It turned out to be Manson……was a good show.

I was looking for some sets from Dupriest or Squillante. Leave it to my dumb ass not to check the Buddha. My punk ass was so damn young when I went there. I think I can speak for us all by saying those moments in time seem to have been frozen and are still very much alive in all of us that were there. props………..

Hey Gary! This was an excellent post. The Starck holds some of my greatest memories. I loved Rick. Jeff introduced me to him. I remember he was very generous wih his music knowledge. Damn I miss those times.

I just accidentally ran across a Starck blog and now I’m looking for all I can find and compiling the music for my ipod. I’m 44 now and I used to go twice a week. There was such a freedom at the Starck to be whatever you wanted to be. You could dance by yourself or walk up and dance with complete strangers and no one cared. Last year at a party, a woman asked me if I used to go to the Starck because I dance like a Starcker with the little skipping and hand movements! I’m so out of vogue but I still love it! I’m showing my kids the music but you just can’t convey in words what it was like. They would laugh so hard now if they could see me in my funny hats and clothes. Once I brought a friend from Oklahoma to the Starck and I told her to borrow some of my clothes. She refused and wore this polyester striped shirt from K-mart. I was so mortified that I had to stand in line with her. I had to beg to get her in. What was I thinking? She thought I had taken her to the pit of hell!
keep the Starcker in you alive,
Joni

Hey Joseph, Jason, et al. Great memories…those I can remember! I just went back to Dallas for the first time in about 20 years, it has changed so much, it is crazy. I made a great Starck playlist on my ipod. People freak out when they hear some of the songs – perhaps they are having “flashbacks!” Keep in touch gang, I miss all of you.

PS Thanks Todd (Oldham maybe?) for the link to the great youtube vids, I play them in my office all the time now– “Set it off on the left, y’all, set it off on the right, y’all, set it off!”

I’ve enjoyed reading all these great messages and am reminiscing fondly about all those great nights at Starck Club. Dallas has changed so much and I wish it were 1985 all over again there. Joseph Gonzales– I heard you were a filmmaker now, will you be participating in the Starck Club projects I’ve been hearing about? It would be great to know if you’re a part of the projects, lord knows you were Starck royalty to all us underlings who adored you and your tribe. I ran into Charlie a few times around Dallas, and she’s still so upbeat and sociable. I think she must have been the unofficial Starck hostess and PR person because she always seemed to be flitting around to check in with everyone. I miss those magic nights– waiting on the stairs outside and hearing the thump thump thump of Rick’s latest song spinning. Talk about a wonderland. Alice has nothing on us!
