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.
This is the song I was referring to in my Daily Prompt post. Its a distinctly 1980’s song with a timeless feel. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the original video which I remember from back in the day.
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.
I made this on Bitstrips. I miss that app. Anyway this is a cultural snapshot and a clever use of nostalgia at the same time.
Here is a total blast from the past. The Monkees were a big part of the TV and music scene in the mid-to-late 1960’s. NBC first introduced them to America as a group of four lads starting a band and the adventures that ensued. As a group they had some very memorable hits on the radio that has been played on radio and streaming audio for years.
