I Only Want to be With You – What Happened to The Bay City Rollers
OK, I am a big fan of pretty much everything about the 80's. Tonight I decided to check out "That 80's Show" on Hulu.Com. I was watching the pilot and they made a reference to "The Bay City Rollers".
I remembered being a big fan of "The Bay City Rollers" in he late 1970's when I was a "tween", even buying and still owning a 45 of "I Only Want to be with You" and skating at the local roller rink to "Saturday Night".

The Lasting Legacy of Whitney Houston
Whitney Houston was arguably the second most famous female pop star in the 1980s.
Her untimely death at 48 hears old is, while unfortunate, was probably not a big surprise to many.
Houston set the standard for pop-soul singers in the '80s. She was vibrant in the 1980s, sharing her passion for music and life with complete enthusiasm.
In the last two decades however, it appeared the Whitney had lost her way and no longer had anything in her life that she was as passionate about as music.

Singer Michael Jackson, 50, died in Los Angeles today, various news sources reported.
Jackson, a child Motown sensation who grew into a moon walking megastar, sold millions of records, earning worldwide adoration in the 1980s.
Later he came to be regarded as one of show business's legendary oddities, hopping from one public relations crisis to another.
The Los Angeles Times, citing city and law enforcement officials, reported late this afternoon that the singer was dead after being rushed to UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles around 3:30 p.m.
The Top Ten Things U2 Has Learned Over The Years
On Wednesday March 4th U2, as part of U2 Week, presented the Top Ten List - The Top Ten Things U2 Has Learned Over The Years
With a new album and a long career, the band remains one of the biggest selling acts from the 1980s.
U2 has always been outspoken, but has remained forever true to their 80s roots.
For sure, the tour to promote the new album will again break records. Unfortunately, one of those records will likely be the price of a ticket to the show.
The US Festival Summer 1983 – A Day to Remember
As graduation approached in the spring of 1983, I began to plan, well hope is more like it, that I could attend the US Festival in Southern California.
This was four days of live music and entertainment from all those acts we saw on MTV (back when they used to play music videos).
There were very few artists who did not play at The US Festival.
From Van Halen to the Scorpions, to The Clash and Missing Persons, there were more than 100 bands and musicians at The US Festival.

Remembering LiveAid 1985
Do you remember LiveAid from the summer of 1985?
From Band-Aid - Do They Know it's Christmas to We are the World, it was a year that stood the 80s on it's head.
The 80s was all about money, fashion and fame! but, Live-Aid was all about giving and caring for your fellow man.
This is the first time I have seen Live-Aid in a few years, and it always has an impact on me.
