I remember it like it was yesterday. I have it vividly
pictured in my mind. It was 1982. My brother snatched the Working Class Dog
album from his bedroom, took it out onto our cul de sac, and broke it on the
pavement in an act of defiance. His friends had teased him about owning the
record album. Instead, he should have given it to me. After that day, my
brother’s musical tastes turned toward bands such as Ratt, Queen, and even The
Doobie Brothers.
So in memory of that day, I’m flashing back to that day with a YouTube rendition of
Jessie’s Girl. Enjoy! (Check out the fashions in the audience--not to mention Rick's choice of attire).
I actually like that song!

ReplyDeleteNice belly top, Ricky, hehe. Hey, this feature inspired me to restart Friday Flashacks at my facebook page where I post a movie line/song lyric & see who can guess where its from. Thanks for the inspiration. :)
ReplyDeleteShoot, I clicked off before making sure that comment posted...this is a test to see if I missed a step...
ReplyDeleteWhat? He broke the record? Maybe he just hadn't grasped how much it cost. Or maybe that's the grown up me saying something the younger me wouldn't have because as kids, we didn't really have a clue what anything cost lol!!!
ReplyDeleteI know this one, not a bad one to be spun.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you didn't get the record!
ReplyDeleteMy friend had an aunt who worked for NBC. She got to meet Rick Springfield and see him perform. I was soooooooooooo jealous.
Wow, this takes me back. I never had the album, though.
ReplyDeleteI remember when Rick Springfield was a doctor on 'General Hospital.' Said that I remember it.
ReplyDeleteBut, it's true.
I loved that song. It really brings back the early 80's for me.
ReplyDeleteI don't know him or the song, but I like it. I do know that kids will do anything rather than look uncool!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely love me some Springsteen! Jessie's Girl wasn't my favourite song, but I liked it.
ReplyDeleteJessie's Girl! Oh, the memories.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend!
Hm, not sure if my comment worked, so take two:
