Thought these magazine tearsheets from the 80s would bring a smile to some faces today. mostly from SMASH HITS …anyone recognize or had these on their walls/school binders/locker? #me 😎😬❤️

This was about as perfect as it got for this lot

Some Vegas pics for you all - all shot by me.

Flairing this as "Entertainment" because I am having a giggle over the memory as I am sorting through some old photos. This shot is from June 2012, when my husband and I went to an 80's Prom at a local bar/club for the first time. We would patronize a few more over the years...for anyone who has never been to one, GO ~ they're a blast! Obviously my better half decided to rep Bon Jovi, and the JT shirt I had just purchased from eBay a couple of months prior. It was a must-have and I was also trying to atone for all my OG t-shirts (official or not) that are long-since gone, for any number of reasons. I still have it...but, it has been become battle worn and a victim of snags from my keycard lanyard for work (yes, I have made the thing "business casual" on many occasions). It definitely needs to be replaced....it is beyond the point of patch repairs.... 😬 I'm sorry, John...I guess I literally wore you out....no disrespect.... 🙏

Great set list, and they seemed to be having a great time.

They need to talk with their lighting guys, though. Spent a decent amount of the show completely blinded by that unit behind Nick. But the band and sound were awesome.

Only other negative was we were unfortunate enough to be stuck behind three main characters who kept blocking our view.

Even the guys in the row behind me kept yelling at them to sit the f- down, but that's got nothing to do with the band.

12 out of 10. No other notes!

Duran Duran continued they’re Las Vegas does with an epic concert last night. Great additions to the set list were Invisible, What Happens Tomorrow, Evil Woman and Free To Love, while a great omission was White Lines.

Sorry, I just found out that Andy played guitar on Belinda Carlisle's hit "Mad About You," maybe it's because I'd never seen the whole video.

Live . Belinda Carlisle "Mad About You" Live with Andy Taylor 1986

I was talking with my friend yesterday (the one I made all those posts about) and he's still going really deep on the Duran Duran river. And so, he began to search every single thing that involves a member of the band, even if not directly. Since he loves metal and has punk friends, he is listening to Missing Persons so they can have something else to talk to. And then, he simply says to me

"Y'know, Warren looks a lot like Roger"

The only thing I could say was a loud "WHAT"

"Just take a look at how he is in Missing Persons. The hair, the facial structure, the mouth, the eyes that droop a little, even the nose are a bit similar. They aren't identical, but they look like they could be brothers or cousins, something like that. Please, don't tell me you don't see it"

I don't. He got disappointed. Then we changed subjects and began to talk about Arcadia. Does anyone here see this?

....at least I know where to go now.
