Sometimes I miss the 80's. I was younger, 50 pounds thinner and I could watch the direct feeds for stuff like this on the 10 foot satellite dish in the back yard.

Eric Clapton, Mark Knoffler, Tina Turner, Phil Collins, Elton John...

All of the above plus Paul McCartney, Bryan Adams, Tommy Shaw...

the eighties for me were going from high school to college to the music scene, what a ride, best time of my life!!

AC/DC started it all for me, literally something inside clicked hearing the first chords.

i saw these guys play in a tiny little club and i will never forget it. one of my all time favorite bands

keep your eyes peeled for:

a pre-whitesnake tawny kitaen

giant jersey girl hair

robin crosby when he was still alive, and awesomely shredding

milton berle, surprisingly enough, not in drag

oh yeah



cinderella is another great band! i have seen them live 3 times. one of my old neighborhood buddies was their sound guy until he went blind



then of course theres yer Jefferson Starship...

for a bit of irony, "nothing's gonna stop us now" was our wedding song at my first marriage.
i didn't pick it though. by this time in their career they had released some real stinkers like "we built this city".
i had begun calling them jefferson wheelchair

I saw Cinderella live. They were never really my thing [I came for the headliner, and they were the opening act] , but I remember thinking they put on a really professional show, and their audience loved them.

You know, my problem with bands like Airplane is that I used to think they were so deep and introspective.....

...and then you hear them interviewed and you realize how intellectually shallow and silly they were...


I doubt Grace Slick even knows who Charles Dodgson was, or even read any of his books....

My other great disappointment was the Momma's and the Poppa's. What a bunch of Morons.


ACDC on the other hand....never got their just due.

Of course I'm biased since Grace Potter and the Nocturnals is a local band just now starting to make it big.
