Since I am back to work today this seems very appropriate. Here’s to all the folks who are working for a living and to those finding their way back to working for more. Released in 1982 this Huey Lewis and The News song still has a great beat.

Tunes Tuesday – Pat Benatar – Love Is A Battlefield
This classic rock anthem from the 1980’s is about female empowerment and great dancing. Love is a battlefield among other things.
Tunes Tuesday – U2 – Pride (In The Name Of Love)
Our nation is still reeling over the events in Orlando and those wounds will take a long time to heal. This song from long ago seems so fitting today. These lads from Ireland know how to share the consciousness of what people are thinking and feeling. What are you doing in the name of love?
Lyrics
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed up on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
Early morning, April four
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
Tunes Tuesday – Bon Jovi – Livin’ On A Prayer
This song tells a story of a couple who are going through tough times. I think the central message of living on a prayer is what many experience as daily life. Prayer and persistence through trials can make the difference. Bon Jovi released this in 1986 and he sounds as good today as he did back then.
Tunes Tuesday – Brooks & Dunn – That Ain’t No Way To Go
I was a student at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, TN back in the early 1990’s and I was becoming a country music fan at the time. I cut my “country teeth” on Brooks and Dunn who were a rising powerhouse duo. This song is one I have great fondness for its soul and storytelling. Ronnie Dunn is a great vocalist who has a classic tone to his voice. Enjoy this blast from the past.
