I remember this add LOL! I also remember when Biz mark (rapper) Ripped off the jingle for his record (Nobody beats the BIZ)and the Wiz sued him! lol. I loved the Wiz as a teenager, going to Fulton st. Mall in Brooklyn They had two stores across the street from the other they were so large 3 floors! The good old broke days! Loved the black and red Neon signs.

Glad you enjoyed the commercial. I also just found a CGI 1992 commercial of the Wiz on one of my tapes which I should have up in a week. Check me out then. Thanks!

Here in Tuscaloosa our JVC plant (like Mercedes) is still running full strength, though half the town's destroyed. There's the scene in "Hannibal" where Mason Verger says, " I have immunity from the US Attorney and I have immunity from the risen Jesus, and nobody beats the Riz!".

@biped19

I'm only 26. But 30 years ago people complained about stuff being made in Japan. I would LOVE to have something made in Japan let alone the USA. Bad USA poltics and crony capitalism lead to us having stuff being made in China

. Weren't Communist Evil ?? In the 1950s and 1960s it was. The whole damn cold war was about it. Was there an exception made if they make stuff really cheap and could bring to america??

talk about BS.

@indyfan22k

Indeed:)

Gone is the mom & pop feel of fun neon and cool (at that time) music, replaced by the soft, middle America, neutrality of earth tones and calming consumerist family values bullshit of "made in china" box stores.

@biped19

Well P.C Richard and J&R beat em ! not to mention Best Buy, and Cablevision as owners.

[mooshmouse]

I used to shop at The Wiz a lot. I miss it ever since Cablevision shut it all down.

[biped19]

Nobody beats the Wiz, except the economy.

[travelsonic]

@nyyankeefandp No, I'M the WIZ! :P

[RespectMyHate]
