Music that time forgot (probably for the best)
The other day I heard a song on the radio that I hadn't heard in eons, Night Ranger's "Don't Tell Me You Love Me."
It's kind of a silly video, but from that era I've seen worse. Did you ever hear the song or see the video before now? Unless you're around my age, probably not. Now you might be more familiar with their most popular song Sister Christian, possibly because it was used in the drug deal scene in 'Boogie Nights.'
Anyway, I now think Night Ranger pretty much sucks, but that didn't stop me from liking them when I was 15. In fact, I liked them enough to purchase their first album 'Dawn Patrol,' which included the above hit. And I have proof of purchase:
Middle-aged men should not act like they are 15 again.
Don't ask about the paneling; it's an Irish-American thing.
Yes boys and girls; that thing I am holding is called a record. Made from vinyl. You may stop laughing long enough to gasp in astonishment.
So, do YOU have any old records, tapes, or CDs that you bought in your misspent youth, only to later say to yourself, "WTF?" Be honest, because if you say you're not, how shall I say it, abashed by any of your musical purchases we'll know you're lying.
So share with us now. Let the healing begin.
