Went to high school in the Philly area when these guys were just a hugely popular local band. WMMR and WYSP played the crap out of their locally released EP and their Philly fan base was huge. Not long after they got signed to their major label record deal, they had a contest where the high school who made the most hand-written index cards with some contest motto on it and delivered them to the radio station won a free Hooters concert at your school. Every one in my school chipped in and our high school won. That night they played in our gym was probably one of my best high school memories ever. We all knew their songs by heart because of the support of local radio back in those days.

It's sad that his generation will never know what it is to have music like this and what it was like to grow up in the best decade ever. I was only 12 when this song came out, but how I miss those days being a kid in the 80s, I wish we could go back to those simple wonderful days. Feeling so nostalgic now.

It surprises me to find my kids listening to so much of this music. I really don't play much of it, so they are digging it up themselves. It makes me happy thinking they are creating so many memories that they too will fondly reflect upon in later years.

A portion of the 70's and the whole of the 80's might be America's best era ... and not just music ... but the music will live on because what followed was a slow decline that morphed into the rapid decent we have today. There are no poets. No true musicians. No real artist, just the lowest common denominator of clownish entertainers :-(

A beautiful late-summer's eve in Pennsylvania in 1997. Right before I headed off to my freshman year at college. My buddy and I were out cruising in his dad's very roughly restored 4-speed '69 Corvette Stingray, with sidepipes burbling and targa tops removed. We rounded a hairpin corner at this one spot on a local rural road. He dropped a gear and that small block 350 bellowed through the valley literally just as the opening chords to this song came on the FM radio. We were on our way to a party to "meet chicks" (spoiler alert: we failed), but for the remainder of my days on this glorious earth that exact millisecond in time will instantly be reattained when I hear the opening chords to this song. Music is the closest thing we have to time travel. Every sensory perception is magically recreated and I'm suddenly a teenager again with the whole world as my oyster, if only for the brief 3 minutes. An era before I met the love of my life, now sadly gone, and before I became bitter and jaded. I'll never get tired of it nor wishing I could have that time back. Pro tip, kids: savor every moment and bite off big chews of life and never settle. As an odd coincidence, my soul-sucking corporate job for the last 15+ years is only about a mile from the old Exton, PA drive-in theater where this video was filmed back in 1985. And my unsatisfying marriage also originated within a few scant miles of the same location. Life is 'funny' like that sometimes...

Your message just hit home hard, bro. I had a few similar moments while growing up on the island of Tasmania (Which, coincidentally, has a Smithton, Somerset, Latrobe, Elizabeth (town), Scottsdale, and Exeter, all in a line along its northern border, just as Pennsylvania does on its southern border). Time is a strange thing: you can’t touch it, see it, or find it occupying a space in a specific location…. Yet, it affects all things and can be observed by its effects on those things…. It has no borders whatsoever, but completely blocks us from reconnecting with all the things, people, and moments it has taken away from us. Seen in this light, your advice about ‘biting off the big chews’ is a characteristic essential for a good life but not fully realized by most people…. I sure did ignore this fact, much to my own detriment…. But finally woke up to it by the time my daughter entered toddlerhood. I’ll never regret quitting law school to give her the quality dad time she deserves. I sincerely hope that one day, once again, the world will be your oyster, just as it was when you & your mate rounded the bend, hit the gas, as this song kicked into gear on your radio…. …. If there’s no such thing as a coincidence? Perhaps that moment was to be remembered as, once you pass through your dark night of the soul, it is a metaphor which contains a kernel of truth, that, when realized, is symbolic of the mind and energy you need to live your life by?… … like now.
