Wow -- 88 was a totally different type year for me. I worked in a nightclub (yes I know but ya know -- as a single mother it paid the bills). I will say this -- the music of the mid to late 80s was at least tolerable from a listening standpoint. I'd never made it during the disco era hearing that blaring 5 hours a night *shudder*.

In a strange way I miss Belinda Carlyle. Some of the other chick singers from the 80s make me cringe.

Frankly I liked Eric better with The Raspberries but apparently the rest of the world preferred him solo ......
