Walk This Way

'Oh, shoot. It's the Rolling Stones!' 

-Darryl McDaniels (Run-DMC) upon seeing Aerosmith for the first time to record their collaborative version of 'Walk This Way' (NGC's series The 80s: The Decade That Made Us

 -- 'Lift-Off')

Never Surrender

Last Song Syndrome: Corey Hart's Sunglasses at Night, a song I never heard for more than 2 decades. Damn, Detroit FM radio; now I got these lines stuck in my head- 

 "Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades, oh-no! 

Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, oh-no!"

Although I hate the said song, I used to like his other power ballad and hit, Never Surrender, which won him the 1985 Juno Award for "Single of the Year" in Canada.

Cheesy and all, I still love the 80s!

Michael Jackson: In Memoriam

+

I liked Michael Jackson.

I followed his meteoric rise to the top of the world and his free fall thereafter.

I did not buy the sexual molestation allegationss that were hurled against him by people with hidden agenda that was further fueled by the media into a conflagration that consumed his fragile soul.

He was part of my growing up years; I’ve danced to his music, listened to his songs and bought his records.

I understood his eccentricities and frailties as a person.

I was able to separate the genius from the man.
