digging out of the rubble

you wanna piece of my heart, you better start from the start

I had pretty bad taste in music during my teens. I thought I was intensely edgy because I liked The Cars. However, I owned this album on vinyl and would sometimes play it while preparing for evenings in the taverns and I thought these guys were astonishingly cool. I was astonishingly uncool ...

Here's Loverboy in a recent photo. In 2004, they were the headline act at "Canal Days" in the sensational Midwestern burg of Portage, Wisconsin.

I am heading to a Friday the 13th party!

  • were loverboy the ones that noted the american tendency to work in anticipation of the weekend to come? have great party, is it dress-up?

  • Yes. Musicians had their finger on the zeitgeist back in the '80s. For instance, Huey Lewis, who I also love to blog about, had a hit song called "Workin' for the Weekend."

    Yes, I dressed as the number 13.

  • How could you be so wrong?

  • Shit. Jesse is always right. Huey's song is actually "Workin' for a Livin' .. Loverboy's is "Working for the Weekend." They are both Marxists....
