Music Flashback: ‘Til Tuesday

*** I have decided that I really enjoyed putting together my flashback blog, especially the posts regarding the musical artists of the 70′s and 80′s, and have decided to keep that blog alive….by transferring its posts to my main blog…..one musical act at a time. Fear not, I will still do my usual goofy comedy blogs, intermixed with the occasional delusional political rant, non-stop complaining and whining about my physical health, and the ever-so-rare serious post or two, while I sneak these music posts onto the blog each evening. I really love music and will listen to almost anything that is out there. I really loved the music of the 70′s and 80′s and my flashback blog was a way for me to revisit a bunch of the great music and artists of that time frame. These music flashbacks will hopefully take those of you my age back to some fond memories. For those of you that are young, chances are you may have not heard of some of these artists. I’ll post a different musical flashback each evening until all the posts off my flashback blog have been transferred. Once I have them done, ya’ll can help me make a list of all the great artists I have yet to get to from that era. Why am I transferring these instead of just resuming blogging on my flashback blog? Well, to tell the truth….I’m lazy. I want to do both blogs but I don’t want to bounce back and forth any more than you want to bounce back and forth by adding yet another blog to your reading. So…on with the posts….. and first up….

‘Til Tuesday
