I look forward to that with great anticipation! I may have a few items to post as well!

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

Thanks, Drumbo.
I just now came across this thread.
That is some good stuff in the juke box tonight!

That one is most beautiful...and does make me cry to listen to it. :)

I’m sure it’s comforting to you!

[Drumbo]

#18 – Culture Club: “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?”

Genders were being bent even back in the Eighties. I couldn’t tell if Boy George was a He, a She or an It. The music was certainly catchy.

The stuff you have up tonight is from my era.
I bought a lot of them on 45 at the record shop.
(and I still have all them somewhere)

#17 – Billy Joel: “Allentown”

The Piano Man had been one of the most important influences of the Seventies, and now he redefined his sound in the Eighties with one of the great anthems of the era. It’s a glorious and beautiful song about the evaporation of the American Dream.

That would be awesome if you could join us! The more the merrier. We’ll do this one like the last. He posts his video version then I follow with my mp3/wma/m4a versions with my graphic of choice. Fun to coordinate!

[Publius]

And we do it without using a phone!

[Drumbo]

In 1965, Dick Clark launched a weekday television mini-Bandstand called "Where The Action Is", filmed on location on California Beaches with guest artists like Neil Diamond and The Turtles lip-synching their hits and Paul Revere & The Raiders as the "house band". Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart (the writers of many of the Monkees hits) supplied the theme song.

I did the same until I realized at 45 to 70¢ a pop 45 RPMs were not as good a deal as the albums of 10 or 12 tunes for $1.50 or 2 bucks. I discovered a lot of music that way (more about that later - stay tuned).

#12 – Adam Ant: “Goody Two Shoes”

This is one of those mixtures of punk and Fifties rock and roll that might have been consigned to FM stations at the far right of the dial had MTV not intervened. This turned out to be one of the great acts of the Eighties.
