Repost w/ the 1st album you bought w/ yr own money
They were from AZ, they were on MTV, and their single referenced Capt. Picard by his full name. What was I supposed to do?
That album still slaps. My wife and I have OUR SONG from it.
True story: I accidentally ended up backstage at one of their outdoor concerts. I had long hair, was wearing a tie, and had a security badge from the building across the street. Guard just waved me in thinking I was A&R or something.
I love this album! The Captain Picard lyric lured me in, but I fell for all of it. Still bust it out every summer. Somehow that’s its right season for me.
This reminded me that I'm pretty sure my first live concert was the Pointer Sisters in Las Vegas. A middle-school friend of mine and his family brought me there. They had 2 drummers AND a percussionist and OF COURSE each of them got a solo.
Oh! I'm pretty sure this was the first time I was introduced to the idea of a "2-drink minimum", so of course I ordered 2 virgin pina-coladas immediately.
Pretty sure it was "Hangin' Tough" by New Kids on the Block... Or maybe "Happy Together" by the Nylons... It was the late 80s I had birthday money or something, and I was 8 or 9.
