Music Monday

It's Monday again.

And today's theme?


Build a playlist of your favorite songs from the 80s or 90s.


Too many choices!


I'll limit it to acts that I've seen perform live (though not  in the 80's)...that will narrow it down....


We start with Sir Paul.  I saw him at Citi Field, July 2009




Kenny Rogers...we saw his farewell tour, Christmas 2016.  One of his big hits in the 80's was  this song



Joan Jett opened for The Who at the Nassau Coliseum in May 2015.



I saw Jackson Browne  with John Fogerty in August 2014 at Jones Beach.


Huey Lewis opened for Jimmy Buffett at Jones Beach, August 2015


The first concert ever held in the Meadowlands Stadium was Bon Jovi, June 2010




Rod Stewart, Jones Beach, August 2014.  We had tickets to see him at Jones Beach  in the summer of 2020, but that tour will now take place in the summer of 2022.

 
I've seen Billy Joel twice, during his residency at Madison Square Garden.  January 2014 and again in December 2014.

And we have tickets to see him next year, our May 2020 concert is now set for January 2022. So I'll include two of his songs.





And today's bonus hit.

Cheap Trick was supposed to tour with Rod Stewart in 2020. We will be seeing them, with Rod, at Jones Beach  next summer.





You can tell I feel deprived....no live music in ages...but that's about to change....

    Robin,

    You've got a new look! Well...your blog has a new look. :D You rolled out some of the best artists from the 80s. I wasn't into country music much back in the 80s but I always loved Kenny Rogers. "Lady" is so beautiful. His adult contemporary song was a number one hit. It goes without saying I can't think of the 80s without thinking of Huey Lewis & the News which then makes me think of the Back to the Future movie series. Great music! Great movies! Man, what a decade for entertainment!! It's fabulous having you on the dance floor, darlin'! Here's to you getting back to going to concerts. ;)

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
