I’m Reminded of Just How Incredibly CHEESE-TASTIC The 80′s Were
While my son played with Letter People, I accidentally turned on the ‘Sounds of the Seasons’ channel on our TV; I usually turn on ‘Light Classical’ during the day. Valentine’s Day/Romantic songs were playing on this channel- okay, appropriate, I thought, although Valentine’s Day was pretty much a non-event this year with over 3 feet of snow on the ground.
With ‘romantic music’ playing low in the background, while I straightened up the kitchen and my son played in our computer room/playroom/pretend-classroom I noticed something:
EVERY song I heard was from the ’80′s…
and I was taken back… and realized that the ’80′s were… CHEESE-TASTIC !
LIONEL RICHIE had a GREAT decade, in terms of commercial success,
so did Linda Ronstadt, (I heard lots of their songs 
and do you remember… GLORIA LORING?! She was on ‘Days of Our Lives’ and sang, ‘Friends and Lovers’… she also sang the theme song to ‘Facts of Life’ and was married to Alan Thicke… who knew?!
Do you remember the band, Sheriff ?? They sang the ‘power ballad’- ‘When I’m With You’…
The ’80′s were great… And I’m so GLAD they are over.
Ugh- did you hear though that Shoulder Pads are back??!!
That’s 1 trend I’m not doing again,
Just remember,
‘Flashdance’ Does Not Age Well…
Um Yeah, if you are in mind-veg mode, flipping around channels, while reading and tweeting and surfing the internet at the same time, and you come across Flashdance, and think,
“Flashdance! I loved Flashdance! ‘What a feeling!…’, I’m watching this!”
Do yourself a favor and flip the channel… or just turn off the TV. Those are minutes of your life you will never get back.
I’ll just remind you: Flashdance came out in 1983, yeah, 1983. Nothing from the ’80′s really ages well, especially from the-EARLY ’80s-Flock-of-Seagulls-kind-of-hair-era.
I know leg-warmers are coming back in style (God knows why?!),
but leg warmers weren’t that cool the 1st time around (and I was in a ballet company).
Again,
relax in the evening, watch a silly show, surf the internet, or better yet- read a BOOK
Just don’t linger if you see Flashdance on TV… it really doesn’t age well.
Journey: Don’t Stop Believing!
Arnel Pineda on The Oprah Winfrey Show
That’s right. Don’t Stop Believin’
I have always loved Journey. There, I said it.
And now, I have another reason to love the longtime band- their new lead singer- Arnel Pineda!
This guy is a rags-to-riches story. Journey found him on YouTube. Are you kidding me? Notice I linked his name… He has a page on Wikipedia now !!!!!!! And he sounds just like Steve Perry… I love a good story!
Arnel, from the Philippines, grew up in poverty and basically sang for his supper, and now-
Arnel has breathed new life into Journey, they just released a new album, and they have now performed on Oprah.
Nice work, gentlemen! You’re done- the best is yet to come!
Random: Why is this movie always on TV?
This movie, The Last of the Mohicans, is always on TV. My husband has seen it about 20 times, it’s supposedly a good movie. Oh, by the way, it first came out 17 years ago…
I have not seen it all the way through, because now it has become a joke in our house, that you can always find this movie on some channel, at any given time of the day… that’s not really logical, but you know what I mean.
The other night I walked into the kitchen to get a drink of water, returned to the living room, and my husband was sitting on the couch watching- you guessed it. We looked at each other and started laughing. Okay, it’s a pretty stupid inside joke, but it was still funny.
So, Why is this movie ALWAYS on TV?
Or, almost always- it’s not on as much as any given episode of Seinfeld or Law & Order… yet.
