Tuned in at 0131 on Traverse City MI sdr with weak noisy S7-S9 signal, hear rock music under the noise, also tried Barrington Hills IL sdr with same results, T-storms in area, song "hot blooded" playing then "hot child in the city", a program of heat,

The video for "She Was Hot" featured the smoking hot redhead Anita Morris dancing around a hotel room in a pair of high heels and lingerie. Ah, the mammaries!

That was the era when MTV could show a video by Bow Wow Wow featuring their overdeveloped and very underage lead singer, Annabel Lwin, rolling around in the surf in nothing but a soaking wet, white t-shirt and a bikini bottom. MTV would've never got off the ground in today's social climate. She was either 13 or 14.
