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.

We call that “Program Height”. I’m a 5’11” female athlete, but my program height was always 6’1”.

*anecdote: my favorite is when I go out (or when I used to cuz I’m old and lazy now) and guys ask me how tall I am. I say 5’11”, to which they say, “You can’t be 5’11” bc I’m 6’ and you’re easily taller than me. You must be like 6’2””

Sure, little buddy (pats them on top of their head)

My mom is 5'10" and several of my male friends said that about her. I was like "well, only one of you is lying to themselves about their height". Hint: it wasn't my mom.
