Old School Friday: Sophomore Year!

The year was 1986…I wore my hair big, my sweatshirts baggy, and leggings tight…I was known as Marvalus even back then and had it monogrammed on every sweatshirt I owned…C/O 89 BABY!!!

Right about this time, I was heavily into Whitney Houston…but I was also totally in love with Duran Duran, Bon Jovi, and this little group…

The Jets are still doing it today, albeit on the gospel circuit. Good pick.

OMG it's so interesting how our music taste converge. Biggie used that Duran Duran sample, and he died my sophomore year. I chose Diddy's tribute song to Biggie for today.

It was 1967 and there was a quiet before the storm. Elvis got married, war raged and an eruption of new thought was about to make it's debut. My sophomore year - a psychedelic segue to The Summer of Love, a musical novelette of peace, love and rock & roll by PopArtDiva.

I remember the Jets, I wonder where they are now. I use to love their energy and the lead singer was good. Come on over there is a party going on at my spot in 1972.

verite parlant

In 1986, I was in my 6th year of marriage, but I remember these songs, in particular "Notorious." I'm here right now dancing in my seat listening to it. :-)

The Jets were great. I had a crush on that lead singer. You schooled me on Duran Duran. Happy OSF.

Alrighty!
You and I have something in common for sure! Duran Duran was one of my favorite groups.

I've Got A Crush On You was getting play from my sons. Great choices for OSF!

I felt like breaking out with "Crush On You" and as for DuranDuran, I always thought I as in love with Mr. Taylor, only to realize that I was always madly in LOVE with Nick Rodes and those rosey pouting lips.
