Wish List #135 - Bring Back Big Shoulder Pads!
Today's vibe. "Jane's Getting Serious" by Jon Astley circa 1987. I remember standing with a couple of pals at the crowded bar at Malarkey's in Bethesda, MD, when I first heard this song. As soon as I heard it, I blurted, "It's the ketchup song!" A Heinz commercial featuring Matt... Continue reading
