Music & Memories....

One thing Mr. TiVo tapes for me is VH-1's Classic Soul and I've found some great videos on there that I haven't seen in forever, i.e. Karyn White, Jody Watley, Bell Biv Devoe, etc. Not to mention Mr. TiVo also tapes "It's Showtime at the Apollo" and just recently I was able to catch Lisa Lisa, Digital Underground, and Pebbles.

It's amazing how music can just trigger memories. I'm on an 80's kick right now and finding a plethora of tunes on iTunes that I haven't heard in forever, plus I'm listening to my favorite online radio station more which also has some great tracks.. sooo it's only natural that sometimes these songs will trigger a memory, a thought, a fashion flashback, etc. Just some songs that come to mind with their memories are:


**George Lamond - Bad of the Heart - *sigh*.. days back in Philly;

** John Cougar Mellancamp - Jack & Diane - my very first 45" from Kenny M. As a matter of fact, he gave me that on the same birthday as my grandmother gave me a KISS album with "Tears May Fall". Now, grandmother / Kiss Album.. something is just downright frightening about that. What can I say - I always had an eclectic taste in music...

**Stacey Q - Two of Hearts - my junior high school dance. We all used to watch this dance show on TV and there were these twins on the show that everyone did their "dance" to this song. The high hair was frightening... I'd post a picture if it wasn't so damn incriminating. That, plus my 4" stilettos and my rhinestones... (small yet tasteful), yeah, those photos are in seclusion (along with the bubble skirt, Reese!!)

**Aftershock - Always Thinking - when I worked for this radio station when I was 17 (hey - I started young), they used to always play this song at the remotes I had to work at. Speaking of the remote.. the DJ freaked out when he told me to get him something to "wipe his face with". I brought him paper towels and he lectured me about how that would scratch his sensitive skin. I about busted out laughing at that fool. Wonder whatever happened to him... the last time I saw him, he was let go (for reasons I won't post here *LOL*)

**Madonna - Crazy For You - Junior Prom. I went with the one guy my friends thought was sooo cool. I think actually, him dancin' to Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood shocked the nuns more. They actually would walk around the floor to make sure that noone was "too close". I found out later that he hit on my friend Sophie *LOL*

**Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby. I used to do PR for this band, First With Class and then they morphed into a group called "Young & Funky". (Don't ask). Anywayz... they had these two dancers that were A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. One of them was a funky white boy and yup, you guessed it - he looked like Vanilla Ice. I had the biggest crush (for all of 2 days.. then touring with him put things in a totally different perspective).

**Salt n Pepa - Shoop. There was a club I went to all the damn time with Kelly K. and BR was the head bouncer. That song, plus a few others like K7's Come Baby Come and Prince's Erotic City.. I would always be dancin'.. Hey - with the amount of times we went to that club, it was a free Gym Membership, with security guard and cocktails!

That's it - I am so ready to go out dancin'.. there are so many more songs that I've fallen victim to, but that's enough of a stroll down memory lane.. at least for this week ;)
