Brings Back Memories Song Of The Day:

Cinderella - "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)

It's actually not a Cinderella memory that it evokes, but a Motley Crue memory. Well, it's kind of a Cinderella memory. Anyway, I was at the Spectrum for the Motley Crue tour for Dr. Feelgood. I THINK that Faster Pussycat opened, but I'm not sure. In any case, I was sitting in the Press Box because that's where my dad got me tickets. I went with my friend John Shepherd. In the Press Box, watching the show was who I thought was Jeff Labar from Cinderella. I said "you're Jeff Labar from Cinderella." He said "no I'm not." I said, "Yes you are man, I know who you are." He said "no, really I'm not." I said, "then who are you?" He said, "I'm Fred Coury." And at that point, I was the a-hole. Right band, wrong guy.



Best Song Of The Day:

Motorhead - "Ace Of Spades"

Although I don't entirely agree, I feel like someone would set the station on fire, if I don't pick this as the best song of the day.



Back In The Day Memory Of The Day:

April 1st, 1989.

The Spectrum.

Ratt/Britny Fox/ Kix

This was the first show that my parents let me go to without them. I was at two shows (as far as I can remember) before this one, but both accompanied by someone. They were the Springsteen Born In The USA tour at the Vet, and the Jackson 5 Victory Tour at JFK Stadium. It was for Ratt's "Reach For The Sky" record, which although not the most popular, is in my opinion, the best of their albums. It included the SMASH HIT "Way Cool Jr."
