Rick Springfield

For some reason Rick Springfield has been in my head a lot lately. Perhaps he’s my spirit guide? I guess the 80’s are calling me or something. Just a reminder “Don’t Talk to Strangers”.

You better love somebody
It’s late
You better love somebody
Don’t wait
You better love somebody
Don’t tempt fate

Lyrics from the song “Love Somebody” performed by Rick Springfield.

Everyone should love someone, perhaps themselves. It’s not a bad idea.

Throwback Thursday: Styx: Mr. Roboto. I saw Styx perform this live in 1983, it was my first ever rock concert. I love the whole concept of this album. It’s kind of prophetic if you ask me.

This was my jam back in the day! I heard the song on a TV show tonight. Some days I miss the 1980’s.

Rick Astley – Never Gonna Give You Up (by RickAstleyVEVO)

This song came out in 1987. Rick Astley has become a cultural meme in some circles. Its a great tune regardless. Friends enjoy this blast from my past.

I heard this song on “Glee” tonight and it reminded me how awesome a tune it is. Simple Minds rocked back in the day.

Tonight on “Dancing With The Stars” The Bangles did a medley of “Eternal Flame” and “Walk Like An Egyptian” this is the kickoff to “80’s Week” on the show. As a teenager from the 80’s this is a very good thing.
