[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 76899, member: 102"] That was very interesting. Thank you! I'm wondering, from the time the oil crunch began, how long was it until it ended and the economy in the oil states was good again? The oil crunch lasted into at least part of 1987 didn't it? Also, what was done to bring the price of oil up from $10 a barrel to where it was back up to a good price for the businesses in the oil sates to be able to start making money again? "As my buddies would say, "I've never seen anything go so wrong, so fast!" - That reminds of the rock'n roll industry! It was huge in the 80's and early 90's and then it all but vanished and still hasn't come back. The two biggest hard rock/heavy metal bands of the 80s were Guns 'n Rose and Metallica and they're still the two biggest bands in those genres 30 years later! That's because 95% of the major record companies went bankrupt, the independent labels that exist today have no money for artist development, marketing and tour support, the rock nightclubs where bands learned their craft and became noticed by the record labels have mostly closed, certainly the major ones that featured both local and national bands have closed, and so there is nobody coming up to accept the torch from bands like Guns 'n Roses, Metallica, and Van Halen.
