Nineties Friday Week #4 with some Seinfeld

generated with ideogram.ai

Welcome to #ninetiesfriday ! It's a new weekly event started by @geneeverett where you can share anything you like about the 1990's. Right now the winner(s) can receive up to 6 HSBI, not too bad for a brand new event! There have been some great entries made so far in the past few weeks. Like always I created a new banner with AI for the event, today the AI didn't cooperate real well, but I finally came up with something I semi-liked. What do you think?

I spent most of the decade outside of the United States living in South America and the Caribbean so my experience was not like most people's. I did catch up on the music and the TV as well, and there really were some great shows. I thought today I might start out by sharing some TV clips from the show "Seinfeld".

Seinfeld

Seinfeld started in the late eighties but ran through most of the nineties and was one of the most successful television shows of all time. I always enjoyed watching the show every Thursday when a new episode came on followed by Friends while I was in the US. The main cast consisted of Jerry Seinfeld as a twisted version of himself, George Costanza played by Jason Alexander, Elaine played by Julia Louise-Dreyfus and Kramer played by Michael Richards. There were also numerous side characters among them my favorite was Newman (Wayne Knight) playing Jerry's nemesis.

As part of #ninetiesfriday I decided to share some clips from some of the episodes that I found hilarious. My first one had to include Newman driving his postal vehicle running fish on the side for a Chinese restaurant. In case you haven't seen it Kramer paints over the lines on the expressway two make two lanes instead of four causing a huge traffic problem. To fix it he brings out some paint thinner to remove the paint. This is from the episode "The Pothole":

Another character that is hard to forget is the Soup Nazi, from the episode with the same name. He's played by Larry Thomas. This episode is hilarious!

And the third clip comes from the episode called "The Alternate Side" when Jerry's car is stolen. It's pretty self explanatory:

Those are some funny episodes, and as a general rule they were all great shows. If you haven't had a chance to watch them it's well worth your while. The whole series is currently streaming on Netflix.

I usually like to share some songs from the nineties as well. I've been splitting them between mainstream English bands and Latin American bands since that was much of what I experienced during the decade. So today I thought it would be fun to hear one of my favorite bands from down under!

AC/DC

Thunderstruck was released in 1990 and has become one of the band's most lucrative songs. The reason behind this is that in order to be used in a movie the band gets paid one million dollars US. Originally written by Angus Young after the plane he was on was struck by lightening, it sure became a huge cash cow. Here's some "Thunderstruck":

Selena

Moving on to the Latin music I decided to go with one of the biggest stars of the decade who had her life cut tragically short. Selena Quintanilla had just reached the top of the Latin music world as well as the English speaking world with an English album. Her fan club manager had been misusing funds and Selena confronted her about it and was shot dead on March 31, 1995 at age 23. Such a shame...

But here is one of her biggest hits "Como La Flor":

That will do it for this edition of #ninetiesfriday . I hope you had some fun watching the Seinfeld clips as well as the music. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave then below. And have a great weekend everyone!

And a quick shoutout @inthenow since I'm sharing some heavy metal music today, even though it was only one song!
