About Me
- Name: Infidel753
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

Hard to believe it’s been 40 years when this music was on the charts and their videos on MTV.
Toni Basil is still going strong :) - Rj
Cruel Summer is still one of my favorite songs. Great pick of songs.
I'll always treasure my original pressing LP of Centerfield that contains the uncensored "Zanz Kan't Dance," a flamethrower of a song torching the president of CCR's record label. The fact that Saul Zaenz received all the royalties for CCR songs is what kept Fogarty from playing them in concert throughout the 80s.
Rj: Incredible to think that Toni Basil is eighty now. Apparently she was thirty-eight when she made this video. Some people just look younger than they are.
Mary K: Thanks! I still listen to "Cruel Summer" often too.
Bluzdude: I'll have to look into that. I didn't know this was originally a protest song against a real-world asshole.
I'm so old that these songs were my kids' favorites! Thanks for the memories!
Glad you liked them! And your kids have good taste.
Ha ha, I think we are the same age 😎
Good stuff, we used to always have MTV blasting in the background in the 80s
I’m particularly find of Simple Minds, actually saw them 10 years ago and they were still spectacular- Scottish band
‘The Glittering Prize’ , ’Up on the Catwalk’, and such.
Wouldn't be surprised if we're roughly the same age (I'm 63). I remember Simple Minds's "Don't You Forget about Me" very well.
It's remarkable how many of these bands from those days are still performing.
