I woke to “Mr. Sandman” running through my head, but it was the Permanent Waves version from Family Ties, where Skippy butts in on the lyrics.
Mr. Sandman
YEEEESSS?!
Bring me a dream
That episode, Band on the Run, aired in 1987. It’s the one where Alex tries to manage Jennifer’s all-girl band. Christina Applegate rocked keyboard, Rain Phoenix on guitar, and I remember thinking Tina Yothers was such a good singer, you guys.
My favorite comment on this video was posted two months ago by morriganwest:
“Yeah…. Not a fan. Wanted to be, tried to be, and no. She should go back to acting she just doesn’t have it.”
Timely and incisive, Morrigan. Thank you for your input.
Sidenote, this is what the cools looked like in the late ’80s.
Jewel-tone satin, I can almost feel you fluttering in the breeze.

From Tina Yothers to satin-y jewel tones, I love everything about this post.

Yeah, I buttoned my black shirt up all the way yesterday and thought to myself, “If this was 1985 I’d be adding a brooch right here.” And then you shiw up with this post.

@Maureen–yes on the brooch, plus stirrup pants and Mia flats. I think that’s what I wore my first day of high school in 1985.

Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess
I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly
enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new
to everything. Do you have any points for newbie blog writers?
I’d certainly appreciate it.
