Music

Good early morning Friends & Family.  Music has always been a part of my life.  Just like Sports.  I started listening to early Rock & Roll from the 1950’s then moved into the 60’s & 70’s. Where I found bands like the Rolling Stones to the Beatles to Who to Led Zeppelin to the Eagles to Bad Company. Then came the Decade that really kinda shaped me and the way I think about things. The 80’s had it all kinda like the 60’s there was something for everyone from Heavy Metal to Pop to to voices and Guitar gods to Writers who just seemed to know how to make  a song different than ever before.  I’ve been fortunate to see most of my favorite musicians from the decade of the 80’s with a few exceptions. There were some bands or Artists that were just too big that I have never gotten see. The likes of Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen  U2, Michael Jackson were just to hard a ticket to get at times. Back in the 80’s there were all kinds of Monster tours wehre bands toured together.  There were also all kinds of festivals and Causes that brought people together like We are the World and the US Festival. The US Festival is where U2 made their name as a great live Act. It was shown on live TV. I have had the pleasure of seeing 80’s Stars such as John Mellencamp  Madonna, Van Halen and Rick Springfield.  John Fogrety and Sting after he left the Police.  I have also seen 80’s sensation Def Lepard a number of times & INXS . So in closing while the 80’s may not have been the 50’s or 60’s with as much as influence I think I can make a case for the Music of the time being just as Important.
