Ahhh… those college days. It seems like just yesterday… almost.
And then you go to a concert at Ravinia and they “force” you to come to grips
with the fact that it may have been a few more years than you’d like to admit to.
The Eighties weren’t all THAT long ago, right???

The show opened with “The B-52’s”… and I flashed right back to the basement of the
fraternity dancing the night away to “Rock Lobster.” Sad that I still know all the words!
And even with me singing along, they still sounded incredible – like it was yesterday!

Need a quick B-52’s reminder… of a Friday Flashback of your own?…
Click here for the videos – “Love Shack”“Roam”“Rock Lobster.”

After grooving to The B-52’s… it was time for the main act “The Go-Go’s.”
Sadly, since I’m already dating myself… I must admit that I saw “The Go-Go’s” in concert
when they were hot the first time during college. But that time, the opening act was
“A Flock Of Seagulls” during that one week that they were popular!

And for another musical interlude…
Click here for the videos – “Vacation”“We Got The Beat”“Our Lips Are Sealed.”
