We're heartbroken.
Goodbye to the great Mars Williams.
Rest well. 1955 - 2023.

@JakeRudh Pale Shelter, Head Over Heels, Break It Down Again.

[Talking80s @talking80s]

@ReturnofR Rush. No contest.

[Talking80s @talking80s]

@historyrock_ Two different audiences, two different vibes. Personal preference: Dark Side. But both albums are excellent in their own right.

[Talking80s @talking80s]

@HeavyMetal_999 Powerslave! Followed closely by Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, and Somewhere in Time. Those last three change, but Powerslave is always my #1.

@RockNRoLL_85 Olivia Newton-John has my heart, but I also love @officialgogos, @OfficialBangles, Tina Weymouth from Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club, Debbie Harry, and @SiouxsieHQ.

I’m on my patio and listening to Scandal this evening, and my hot take of the day is that “Hands Tied” should have been HUGE!
Great songwriting (as usual) from the Hall of Famer @HollyKnightlife and Mike Chapman. It never got the love it deserved.

41 years ago today, Jeff Spicoli asked Stu Nahan where he got that jacket.
Happy anniversary to a bonafide classic, and a big thanks to the people who made it happen, @CameronCrowe and @amyheckerling.

On August 13, 1982, “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” opened in theaters. The film, based on Cameron Crowe’s book, was a launching pad for several stars, like Sean Penn, Nicolas Cage, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, and is the directorial debut of Amy Heckerling.

Paul Reubens was a one in a lifetime artist. Creating himself as Pee-wee Herman. He made children laugh, and adults smile. There has never been, and will never be an artist like him a deep intellect and clown. Your best friend, and a dear friend of my family. RIP

[RealEGDaily @RealEGDaily]

Paul, the Pee Wee to my Dottie.
I am so grateful for getting to do this amazing ride with you.
Thoughtful, kind, brilliant and loved.

My sweet friend.

I remember it well…the day I turned 15.

“Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today to get through this thing called life...”
Prince and the Revolution released the single “Let’s Go Crazy” on July 18, 1984. The song hit #1 and sold over a million copies.
Fun fact: The B-side was the non-album track “Erotic City.”

[Talking80s @talking80s]

Random thought:
“Mornin’” by Al Jarreau may be the best song from the 1980s that nobody seems to mention in any discussion about best songs from the 1980s.
