Mike’s Blah Blah Blog: Deja Video 1984
March 2, 2011 8:32 AM DEJA VIDEO 1984: I admit I have a problem. I’m a completist. My current completist obsession is the Hot 100 songs for every year from 1970 to 2010. It was while working on the 80′s that I noticed what a great year in music 1984 was. Superstars like Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Lionel Richie, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, and Van Halen seemed to be at their peak …
The “Footloose” and “Purple Rain” soundtracks churned out hit after hit, and Tina Turner made her triumphant return with “What’s Love Got To Do With It” …
It was also the year that – thanks to me doing what I do for a living – I was able to score good seats to the three biggest tours that year; The Jackson’s “Victory Tour”, Springsteen’s “Born In The USA”, and Prince’s “Purple Rain” tours. Concerts I still vividly remember snippets of all these years later … and believe you me, there ain’t a whole lot of the 80′s I still remember! But that’s a whole ‘nother blog posting
