I know it's "cool" around these parts to bash 'Kool Thing'. I never have. I never will. The Hangin' With MTV footage of 'Kool Thing' is flat-out amazing. Thurston's onstage "showboating" is a thing of beauty. It's rock-n-roll coming off the tracks and I love it. When he takes down Kim at the end it's sweet, fun...and then sad when viewed in the context of how it all ended. The footage of the 1987 Atlanta show is pretty rad too. I've lived in Atlanta for 20+ years, but not long enough to have been there. So jealous.
