Valentine's Day will be my fifth anniversary of officially converting to a fan. I always loved Eighties music, since that's the decade of my childhood, but I never dreamt I'd fall so in love with a band who actually got famous in my own lifetime! I thought they were like the Eighties version of NKOTB or N'Sync, and couldn't have been more wrong.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-85574594243564795402016-02-09T20:28:36.574-08:002016-02-09T20:28:36.574-08:00Good music, is good music, is good music.
