Carolyn Snell, Entertainment consultant
First concert: The Monkees (reunion tour) 1988
All time favorite TV show: A blend between Designing Women, The Golden Girls and Sex And The City — basically, shows that feature four female best friends.
Earliest pop culture memory: “I religiously watched Solid Gold and referred to the host strictly as MS. Dionne Warwick. My love of pop and soul music, plus choreographed dance, was born Saturday nights in the ’80s.”
