I love me a good power ballad, and “The Search Is Over” was easily one of my favs of the 80s era. More on the song in a minute, but first let’s talk about Survivor. People rarely mention them discussing great rock and roll groups of the 80s, and that’s a shame. Survivor was a … Read More
Good morning and happy Wednesday WWE Universe. Let’s watch Chris Jericho make his WWF debut on August 9, 1999 when he interrupted the Rock.

In the interest of full disclosure I wasn’t crazy about this song when it first came out in 1983. I was merely 12 sans a firm grasp of what the song was about, and certainly didn’t know it’d go on to become the 80s stalker anthem.. I suppose that’s partially due to a lack of a … Read More

The following five Yanks entered the season with precious little fantasy fanfare (except for arguably Judge), yet have been explosive over the first month of … Read More
I guess “Pass The Dutchie” was my informal introduction to world of smoking the funny stuff. At 11-years old I was hardly an expert on lyrical song meanings (nor am I now), but I strongly recall great debate on what this tune was really about. The facts are that a “Dutchie” is a Jamaican cooking … Read More
Good morning and happy Monday, WWE Universe. Let’s watch Jimmy Snuka have his worst day as a WWF superstar on October 16, 1982 as he finds out Captain Lou Albano stole all his money and was never technically his manager.

If nothing else, “We’re Not Going To Take It” was far and away my preferred anti-authority song of the 80s.
