What do Sega Genesis, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Jolt Cola, Super Mario Bros, Mobile Flip
Phones, MTV, Block Buster Videos, and the rise of one of the worst monsters ever -- the internet --
all have in common? No, it’s not a Captain Marvel movie. I’m talking about the “90’s House Party”
at AVA, Casino Del Sol.
Tonight, it was the invasion of MTV’s 1990’s rap/hip hop heroes, Tone Loc, Coolio, Rob Base, and
Robert Matthew Van Winkle, AKA “Ice Ice Baby” himself, Vanilla Ice -- along with a celebration of
MTV pool-party club songs.
I can’t say I can defend the 90’s as I’m an 80’s man. The ’90s were the defining end moments of an
era in music history for me.
