A soundtrack tune to my life in the late 1980s. Lots of money, booze, cocaine, and women. Yeehaah!

I'll squeeze in between you guys. Graduated Sac State 1986. Saw these guys at the Crest Theater. Loved their music. Good to hear on RP. |

Vastly underrated. Straight-forward toe-tappin R&R.

I enjoy Smithereens once in a while. They don't have much variation, but I do like them loud here and there. Will the wall of sleep protect me from the doldrums of awakeness? Just curious.

Saw Pat doing his one man show in Vegas recently - it was a great night of music and story telling. |

No machine shilling "This is what you -SHOULD- like crapola... Just good music, good mix and a nice flow... Thanks

Love this song. I always imagine him singing about Molly Nova of the "Blue Band" here in Iowa, especially the line "well she stood just like Bill Wyman"..... Miss those days, Molly.
