Sounds so fresh, it's hard to believe it's Aimee Mann so long ago.

My son still lives there, and I still have a walk-in-closet sized crash pad in PDX. I was 1/3 of the way on June 28th, but turned back to Florida to see how my old dog fares. He wasn't doing so well in Louisiana. I'll be there by July 18th-October 3rd one way or the other.
That being said, the Portland I fell in love with is much less kind (at the hands of those demanding their particular flavor of social responsibility, ironically), more trashed, more hipster polysci and cynical these days. On the other hand, the beer, wine, food and music just keep getting better. I'm going to try to be the change I want to see while there. Drop me a line if you're in the neighborhood, I have extra concert tix.
I'm still in Oregon and still feel this song just as much! It's right up there in my book |

The hairstyles were pretty silly in the 1980's, but no more than it was in the 60's or 70's - or any time for that matter. For some reason, people prefer to forget how ridiculous many hairstyles were in the 1960s and '70s, and prefer to assert that it was not until the 1980s that an unprecedented travesty had occurred. It's not as if the present day is any better than the 80's either - and we're all twenty-five years older since this tune was released.    The 1960s The 1970s |

This song was also used in an airline commercial a long time ago - can't remember which airline, but I always loved the song...

This is the first time I've heard this. The only 'til Tuesday song I know is "Voices Carry." I recognized Aimee's voice right away. I love everything I've ever heard from her.

I even like, maybe 'especially' like, the parts where she's straining to sing lower than her voice will really go. Then she goes back into her normal register and nails it. Nice.

Fair enough, but look what Aimee has been doing lately, esp. vis-a-vis Mr. Ritchie's activity. No contest. And I am a huge fan of the Commodores. Lionel Ritchie, less so. |
