I thought it was awesome as a 12 year old watching Stevens light people up but today it's mostly stomach churning watching that clip again.

It's odd to look back on it now, but at the time brain damage from stuff like that was viewed so differently. Like you say, thinking back to the days of rock 'em sock 'em videos, it was always great seeing the guys get their heads nearly taken off. That kind of stuff just isn't as palatable to me these days.
