Throwback Thursday – Styx – Mr. Roboto #TBT #Styx

Styx is a rock group that made it really big in the 1970’s and 1980’s. I saw them in Concert in 1983 during their “Kilroy Was Here” tour. This song is theatrical and has a theme of people not wanting to be robots but to be themselves, something everyone can identify with.

Throwback Thursday – Queen – Under Pressure #TBT

Today I am feeling the pressure from several directions. Queen featuring the late David Bowie sings for me today. Pressure sucks!

This is a photo collage from a visit to Gatlinburg, Tennessee back in 2008. It’s a picturesque tourist destination in the Great Smoky Mountains. This past week the town was hit hard by fires that burned homes, attractions, lodges and other businesses. This is a good place to chill and it will come back.

Throwback Thursday – Pet Shop Boys – West End Girls #TBT

This duo has one of the great sounds of Brit-pop of the 1980’s. Something about their voices and the music that paints a mental picture of a place with real people.

Trowback Thursday – The Power Station – Communication #TBT

This is a super group featuring Duran Duran’s Andy Taylor and John Taylor with the late Tony Thompson and late Robert Palmer on lead vocals. “Communication” is one of my favorites from this record.

Communication changes in the technology we use, however we should always try to focus on the message and being clear and concise. It’s a say what you mean and mean what you say sort of thing. The conversations in your head need to sometime be open to those who need to hear what you are saying.

Today’s Throwback Thursday is dedicated to back to school and Schoolhouse Rock is a retro look at how a generation learned on Saturday mornings.
