This is in response to Kevin's request for a list of Musik Express (yes it was spelled with a K) music.
Understand that even today RI has a big 80s rock oreintation. Music Express music changed each year but typical music included: (and much of this played into the 90s).
1. Def Leppard - particularly Pour Some Sugar on Me.
2. Great White's - The Once Bitten album. For those of you from outside RI this is the band that was playing when the Station House Nightclub burned to ground in 2003 when a pyrotechnic show went bad (understatement) and 100 people burned to death. I didn't lose anybody but I was making calls that night to find out.
3. Damn Yankees
4. Rick Astley - go figure. I don't know why this made it either.
5. Steppanwolf - Born to Be Wild.
6. Van Halen - Pre-Hagar.
7. Aerosmith.
8. Queensryche - I Don't Believe In Love
9. Skid Row
10. Scorpions - Savage Amusement
11. Metallica
12. Iron Maiden
13 . Bad Company - the album with Shooting Star and Rock'N Roll Fantasy.
14. Jody Watley
15. Kim Wilde
16. Samantha Fox
17. Expose
18. Cover Girls

...hope you're not disappointed. I'm not defending all this music mind you...I'm just reporting on what was there. Some was good, some was bad. Some was very very bad. The above list is by no means complete.
Additionally, when I name only one song. I don't mean they bought the single. It just means I dont know the album name.
Another list of interest would be all the bands that actually played live there. They did get some big names and there were concerts almost every weekend from about June to labor day. Everything from reasonably unknown bands like Danger Danger, to well known cover bands like The Machine to big time names like Gloria Estefan and Steppanwolf. The concerts were introduced in the 80s and stayed until the park closed.
i would guess the blue light would be cause by something like the moon or along those lines possibly a flashlight i have no real clue what would creat it just the moon through a window is my guess

Thanks Pat for all the info. ajax_1@usa.net
I use to work there years ago, back in the 80's. There are underground tunnels that link alot of the buildings. I went and visited when I was home last. Its Creepy. Good place for a horror movie.
Toilet paper holders can be wrenched off the wall, so in many lock down facilities they weren't used. The toilet roll was usually left sitting next to or on the toilet.
