I never noticed how much the Cars resemble Starship on this song ("Magic").  That wouldn't be a good thing.

BOS Tina, "Better Be Good" -- 2nd appearance in the AL era, iirc, but welcome since Dave inexplicably ignored Ms Turner's '80s output.

BOS1 Better Be Good To Me

I still have the 45 -- with one of her great non-LP B-sides (either "When I Was Young" or Prince's "Let's Pretend We're married", I forget which)

It shares a bit with Sussudio, methinks.

Yep, and they toured together right up until the night before Rod played in Sacramento. Which was the show I went to. I believe Earl Slick stepped in and finished the tour. Not quite the same thing.

LOL!  been catching some of the Vice reruns on Centric (it's on right before Soul Train!) and they're still rather impressive, '80s hair notwithstanding.

Goin' out in a hair-metal mood. First Dee Snider, now Diamond Dave. And "hair metal" is kind of ironic, since neither of them has much anymore.

"I brought my PEN-CILLLLL!!!!"

Do you think VH counts as "hair metal"?  I'd let them out of that unfortunate classification.  I think they're in a different league than, say, Whitesnake or Warrant.

used to work with a Russian sys admin who was still learning English even as he programmed our site like nobody's business.  If the volume on something was up too high, he would say "That music is too loudy."

This is the song that John Rocker would have played when he came in to pitch for the Braves. After his outburst, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister emphatically insisted it not be played for Rocker.

Caught the replay @ 10.  Even though this wasn't as new-wave centric as some of her other sets, I loved this one!!!  Not a bad song in the bunch. BOS's to Van Halen, Cyndi Lauper and VHM's to just about everything else.
