Boomtown Rats - Up All Night

From the 1982 album ‘V Deep’, it’s the Boomtown Rats with ‘Up All Night’.

‘82 was a big year for the band’s frontman, Bob Geldof, who not only had his own hit album, but also had the lead role in the cult classic film, “The Wall,” a musical adaptation of Pink Floyd’s mind blowing 1979 album The Wall.

These days his party loving daughters, Pixie and Peaches, make the headlines more than he does.

Quite a fitting song for those two, really.

They’re ROUGH! Rough…Rough…Rough!

When I say that I love the 80s, trust me, these fools were not what, or who, I had in mind.

Even when I was a young, sweet and innocent teenager (heh) I had no love for boy bands. In fact, I can’t really think of any boy bands I went gaga over. It just wasn’t my thing. Maybe it was the love songs they sang while sounding like their nuts were in a vice, or maybe it was the corny ass choreography and cheesy lyrics.

Probably a combination of all three.

So really, I could have cared less when New Kids on the Block announced that they were going to reunite. Not only couldn’t I have cared, I was actually shocked! I thought, ‘Aren’t these guys embarrassed of their past? Don’t they remember how incredibly bad they sucked?!’ I would think they would have wanted to just leave that part of their professional careers alone and kinda sweep it under the rug.

But I guess somehow the millions of records they have sold has convinced them that they are actually good…heh.

Here they are now, in concert at Madison Square Garden.  Let’s make fun of them, shall we?

Donny Wahlberg!  Hey man, I loved you in Boogie Nights!

Oh, you have a brother? Ok, well, say hi to your mother for me..

Jordan Knight, a.k.a. The Bitter One.

He was always pissed that nobody cared about who he was after NKOTB faded away. Bet he is happy now. But once they disappear into the pop culture black hole again he’ll need to go back to his day job…impersonating Ricky Ricardo.

Joey McIntyre was the youngest . He’s a total bottom. I can tell. An adorable one, however..

Danny Wood, the one who looks like a flying monkey from Oz….with a faux hawk.

And finally, Jonathan Knight, the Gomer Pyle of the group…just give him a few more years & a few more pounds..

From the 1985 album, Dead Man’s Party, it’s Oingo Boingo with ‘Just Another Day’.

The song also opened the 1985 film adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s That Was Then, This Is Now. And if you’re a true 80s buff, you’ll remember that movie too.

For the Johnny Cash Lovers!

A new, uncensored DVD box set documentary of Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison hit stores this week, and if you are super cool like me and love Johnny, you might want to check it out.

Johnny Cash’s At Folsom Prison: Legacy Edition is the 40th anniversary 2-CD and DVD box was recorded on January 13, 1968, when Cash played two shows at Folsom prison.

The box set presents the entire unvarnished 65-minute first show on disc one – expletives intact for the first time, and with seven previously unissued tracks; and the entire 75-minute second show on disc two, with 24 previously unissued tracks (out of 26!).

Make sure to check out the new documentary DVD – it features exclusive footage from inside Folsom, interviews with Merle Haggard, Rosanne Cash, Marty Stuart, and former inmates who witnessed the concert, and unpublished photography by Jim Marshall.

Not sure if I’ll be able to swing it, but I am working on getting a copy to giveaway. No promises - but I am trying!
