I hadn't heard the Kokomo song before.
Eddie Van Halen was a favorite of mine. I thought he was adorable back in the day on the 70s when they came out.
I loved the long-haired guitar players and married one! My husband still has his long hair. Are you familiar with Mr. Gold on "Once Upon a Time"? He looks just like him. Facial features are very much the same as his, as is the hair. People ask him all the time if he's Robert Carlyle.
I remember the first time I heard "Running with the Devil". Great song, and David Lee Roth was a great frontman, probably the best ever. I wish we had seen them when we had the opportunity back then.
The year 2020 sucks. Hall of Famer Joe Morgan dies today at age 77. I have many fond memories of seeing The Big Red Machine play at Riverfront back in the seventies. We were spoiled with this starting lineup: Rose, Morgan, Bench, Perez, Foster, Griffey, Concepcion, Geronimo. Morgan was one of the best players on one of the best teams ever.
I loved it when Morgan retired and started broadcasting games. Somewhere during the broadcast, Joe would always seem to sneak this in: "That reminds me of the time I won back-to-back MVP's..." lol...a little self-promotion never hurt. He always had the confidence. He will be missed.
RIP Joe Morgan.

Hold on a sec - I thought your earliest TV memories were of watching Spongebob Squarepants?Back in the days it was worth memorizing line-ups because they weren't gonna change with the next negotiation. My favorite non-Tiger was probably Brooks Robinson.
great time to be in middle school, first mitt, bat, cup (lol), being on the team (Indians, blah).
shhh, Hubman ain't on this thead. Is it Bob? I thought it was Blob?Hold on a sec - I thought your earliest TV memories were of watching Spongebob Squarepants?

I remember that time in my life well. It was the same for most of the boys my age on my street. Reading the annual Street & Smith cover to cover several times during the summer certainly contributed to that.Somehow I ended up a Phillies fan. C- Boone, 1B- Hebner, 2B- Sizemore, SS- Bowa, 3B- Schmidt, RF- MCBride/Johnstone, CF- Maddox. LF- Luzisnki.
I couldn't tell you what I had for dinner but I can remember that lineup 45 years later.

Fleetwood Mac‘s seminal 1977 album ‘Rumours’ has re-entered the top 10 of the Billboard 200 after 42 years thanks to recent surge in popularity.
The album jumped from #13 to #7 this week, following its newfound popularity after Nathan Apodaca – otherwise known as 420doggface208 – posted his viral TikTok seen around the world of him longboarding while listening to ‘Dreams’ and drinking cranberry juice.
Is that because of the skateboarding cranberry juice guy that's trending right now?Rumours back in the TOP-10

Now that I think about it, after all these years I never heard a thing publicized about Spencer Davis himself. I couldn't tell you if he wrote songs or what instrument he played. You hear the name, you think "Oh, Stevie Winwood". But an iconic figure nonetheless.The Spencer Davis Group recorded one of the great songs of the mid-1960s.
R.I.P. Spencer Davis
^ Agree. That and the stars of yesteryear seem to go quietly in the night unlike the days long fanfare of today. I suspect they prefer it that way.I don't know how I missed this one...
(well, I do know, can't stand to watch the MSM news anymore)
Just caught the snippet on TCM on Rhonda Fleming ( "Queen of Technicolor") passing 10/14/2020

I learned something earlier today about one of the songs referenced, so I'll say the connection is "Philadelphia".I'll toss out a "softball" related trivia question for anyone interested. What is the connection between Wilt Chamberlain and The Dovells ?
