Well, despite posting here once every, oh, two or three months, I've decided once again to try a more frequent blog. It's a music blog, but not what you might think. Here's my write-up for the "about" page of the blog:
I tried to choke back the tears when I realized that “Rock Me, Amadeus” came out in 1985. Twenty five years ago! I was, well, 25 years younger than I am now. (Okay, I was 14 years old.) I knew of Falco’s fate (R.I.P), but I got to wondering about others who are celebrating a 25th anniversary of sorts. Not necessarily one-hit wonders (though many are), but certainly ones who represent that very specific time period for me. Bands/singers like a-ha, Ready for the World, Murray Head, Mr. Mister, Animotion, and others.
If any of those names ring a bell, or if they’re long forgotten, I hope to re-acquaint them to you.
I'm a bit ahead of the game (go, me!) this time, as I've got quite a few already written. However, I've decided to post once a week, rather than have a flood of them right off the bat, then a long spell of nothing when I getlazy busy.
So please, go check it out, comment if you like (and I hope you do like).
Rock Me, Amadeus!
