I've been on an 80's music kick lately.
It all started with my friend H. She has CallerTunes on her cell phone, and it plays "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. After rocking out to it several times, I thought, "Gee, I like Journey. I should listen to them more often."
I set up a Journey radio station on Pandora. Have you met Pandora? She's great. It's this little little website where you enter an artist or song you like, and it plays music similar. The Journey station is like an 80's dance party, 24-7.
This morning I sat down at my desk and turned on Pandora. I was listening while working, and I noticed that a song by Whitesnake came on. Pandora shows the album art for the current song, and I noticed that Whitesnake seemed to look a little . . . well . . . odd.
I did a Google Image search of "Whitesnake" and this came up:
After my initial reaction of "GAACK" (that was me choking on my Corn Pops) and hysterical giggling, several comments came to mind."Does that guy really think that PINK shirt is enhancing his masculity? 'Cause to me it looks like he's just wearing it open to prove that he is, in fact, boobless." "Wow. Are the tough looks supposed to distract me from the hair?" "That guy in the back looks like his head exploded." But mostly, "Oh my gosh! Does Farrah Fawcett know these guys stole her hairdo?!?!"
I continued with my search, and I found this gem:
Oh, so much fodder here. The stretch striped pants with the chain belt? The Bedazzled pants? It's like Richard Simmons, David Bowie and early Sarah Jessica Parker on crack. And again, the hair! It's got to be a fire hazard.
I know it was the 80's. Hair was big, and pants were (apparantly) skintight. Plus, they're British. But still. And you thought you were embarrased by your 80's pictures!
I did a search for the lead singer of Whitesnake, David Coverdale. I found this:
Oooh, now he's mooching looks of Julia Roberts!
And this:
Hey! Now's he's moving in on my territory! I have those same bangs!
Anyway, my David Coverdale search led me to my new favorite website.

I'm telling you, this baby will provide hours of entertainment.

Hello from New York! I remember in school in the 1980s all the girls had long long hair. I loved it though. I miss everything about the 1980s. The movies and music were so good. My favorite play "Cats" also came out in the early 80s.
Hmm...seems to me that David Coverdale has more talent in his frizzed hair than you've displayed in any of your blog posts. Maybe if you were good at something, you wouldn't have to trash someone as gifted as him. And the guy in the Pink shirt--that's Adrian Vandenburg. I'll bet he plays the guitar better than you also???
