My Dear Kevin,

Take all the time you need on your break from blogging my friend. But always know that you have friends who simply adore your irrepressible wit and the warmth of your sunny self. I hope you know how very dear you are.

So, here are some 80s tunes/videos I thought you might like (I know I did/do)...ENJOY!!!!

IRENE CARA - The Dream (Hold On To Your Dream)

BIG PIG - Breakaway

GEORGE MICHAEL & WHAM! - Careless Whisper

ALISON MOYET - Ode to Boy (OK, this version is from the early 90s...But HEY, it's Alison Moyet!!!)

NEW ORDER - Blue Monday (...and not with a Bulgarian accent!;^)

FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD - Welcome to the Pleasure Dome (...Errrrrrrect!!!)

THE CURE - Just Like Heaven ("...show me how you do that trick...and I'll run away with you.")

THE POLICE - Don't Stand So Close To Me (When I first saw this one in the early 80s it made me all tingly down south--blame it on Sting! ;^)

TOTO - Africa (WOW!!! I forgot how awful this video was...good song though)

JANET JACKSON - Control (I ask you, what would the 80s be with out MJ & JJ?!)

DEAD OR ALIVE - Lover Come Back To Me (extended remix...as if the reg version weren't enough!)

FALCO - Der Kommisar (Falco was so sexxxy--even in this cheesy video)

DEPECHE MODE - Strangelove (Great song from a GREAT album--"Music For The Masses"...check it out!)

TECHNOTRONIC - Pump Up The Jam (Back in the day I couldn't get enough of this one on the dance floor!)

SOUL II SOUL - Back To Life ("However do you want me..." Another BIG HIT on the dancefloor!)

THE SMITHS - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out ("Take me out tonight...and if a double decker bus crashes into us...")

...NUFF SAID 8^)
