Today's AT40
Jun. 8th, 2008 12:25 pmJune 13, 1987. The summer between my Junior and Senior year, and a "summer off" - no summer school (I'd previously taken biology and chemistry over the summers to "get ahead" and keep a spot free for taking psychology - Senior year I'd dropped Latin so I had the space free for the electives like touch typing).
As a result of this wonderful summer of "doing nothing", I actually have very little memory of it other than images of my house and watching Robotech on TV most days. Between that and my already growing dislike of a lot of pop music and increased listening to classic rock (2 months later would be my first solo concert: Roger Water's Radio KAOS), well, there wasn't much going on. I'd gotten my license but rarely had the car.
The Nylons come in at #39 with their cover of Kiss Him Goodbye. I didn't know more of it at the time, but certainly did later when I saw them live in '91 in my first trip to the Birchmere. That's followed by Madonna's overplayed La Isla Bonita. Europe rock's the night with, well, "Rock the Night". More big hair with Motley Crue's censored video, Girls Girls Girls.
Casey *seriously* geeks out by explaining the plot of Star Trek's Amok Time in order to explain where the [one-hit-wonders] T'Pau got their name, followed by said one-hit, Heart and Soul.
( rest behind the cut... )
