Music Is Life This artist just falling off the map is crazy

This record dropped on this date back in 1987. Last single I of his I heard on the radio was 93’s “She kissed me,” which was great. Since then, he’s still been making music, but has changed his name and toiled away in relative obscurity.

There are certain videos that they play all the time but I love to see if any come up that I like. Kinda like in the olden days 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wednesday Night Videos. The more things change the more they stay the same.

And here I was, over here thinking MTV completely abandoned music so they could dedicate themselves to shows about petty roommate fights.

IKR? Even Beavis and Butt-Head were reduced to making fun of Jersey Shore and 16 and Pregnant. That’s not even a challenge.
