Today’s Question:
Is there a 1980’s music video that’s stuck in your memory-if so, which one ? - I think the entire 1980s decade is stuck in my memory now.. I don't know, I have several, mainly those so-called Glamor Rock/Heavy Metal/Hair Bands, like Dokken. I liked lead guitarist George Lynch mainly because of his style on lead guitar.

Extra Credit:
Have you ever heard BBC radio (some NPR stations broadcast it during overnight hours) ? - Nope.. The only thing I wanna hear in the night hours is peace and quiet.

Bonus:
Do you prefer to have your top sheet tucked in or pulled out (or does it not matter) ? - It depends on what the sheet is.. are we talking about paper in a printer?

Just for Fun:
Did you (or do you now) have a favorite comic strip ? - Hmm.. I don't know.. I've never seen a stand-up comic do a strip act before... I don't think they do that in Comedy Clubs.. - Actually, I've never had one particular favorite.

but would look silly & unsophisticated to us now)

"Take on Me" by Aha I loved the graphics from cartoon to real life and I love the song especially when he hits the high notes

Yes I have and I promptly changed the channel

When I make my bed I preferred that it be tucked in because I like leaving enough out to pull the covers over me.

Yes, I used to look forward to the Family Circus because they always cracked me up.

One of the reasons I liked George Lynch's (of Dokken) style on lead guitar, he puts a lot of emotion in every note he plays, as in this example of the short solo. (1 minute and 36 seconds)

In case you wondered and for those who haven't seen this yet.. yes I had long hair through the mid 1980s... and don't worry, this is not a mug shot... (In November of 1983)



Instant hair replacement...

I'm a millennial born in the 1990s. I guess I'll say "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" by Whitney Houston. That's the only song from the 1980s that I know.

Why, yes. I have...

Bonus:

It doesn't matter.

Nope... This millennial was too busy on her Gameboy Advance.
