I don't think anybody who grew up around the time I did hasn't heard this song.  I heard it for the first time when I was in junior high school at a friend's house -- the same good friend who also had a Motley Crue poster on his wall that scared the crap out of me.  Anyway, I liked it then, and I like it now.  As does Heather.  I quickly discovered that she was into 80s music, particularly "hair metal" and the like.  Having both been born in the early 70s, that would make sense.  I think I'll play several selections from the 80s before I'm done with this "Hetta Music" feature.

Gotta love Def Leppard!

In honor of our troops everywhere (including our brother-in-law, Mical Crumbly, pictured below, who's currently serving in Afghanistan), I'm playing a ditty from Stryper.  This tune falls in the "Hetta Music" category because we went to see these guys together and she loved it.  Even more than me, and that's saying something.

If you believe in such things, say a prayer for the troops today when you think of it.

I'm going to see Van Halen next week. Jeff got us tickets to the Friday night show at Madison Square Garden. (Now, that's what I call a good boyfriend.) I am sooooo excited! I can't wait!!

I know. It's complete 80's nostalgia. But I don't care. I like it. And I know it'll be a really fun concert.

It'll be interesting to see what they play. The classics, of course. But, will they play anything from the Sammy Hagar years?

I'll be sure to report back.

PS Those of you who are jealous and wish you were going...you can maybe go see Van Hayride. They're a country VH cover band...they're actually pretty good. I saw them last year at Banjo Jim's in the East Village.

Seems like most of my friends at other schools have finals this week, which I'm kind of jealous of. I want this week to be overrrr!! D: This is my last week of classes, and then finals. I think I only have one actual exam, in music, but it's Friday morning right before I leave for Denver. So I'm gonna be antsy like woah :o

Anyway, speaking of "woah," this was hanging out in my favorites on YouTube and it's pretty awesome. Enjoy.
