LoveSong of the Month “Good 4 U” (Olivia Rodrigo)

When I was my daughter’s age, it was the Spring of 1984. I would never declare that “music was better in my day,” but still, some pretty timeless, indelible classics hit the racks at this time. Look at just a handful of the albums released within a month or so of when I was her age:

– Van Halen                      “1984”
– “Weird Al” Yankovic     “In 3-D”
– Prince                              “Purple Rain”
– RATT                               “Out of the Cellar”
– Echo & the Bunnymen “Ocean Rain”
– Twisted Sister                “Stay Hungry”
– Bruce Springsteen         “Born In the USA”
– Scorpions                        “Love At First Sting”
– Madonna                         “Like a Virgin”
– Metallica                          “Ride the Lightning”
– “Footloose”                       Soundtrack
– Judas Priest                    “Defenders of the Faith”
– The Cure                          “The Top”
– R.E.M.                              “Reckoning”
– Hüsker Dü                       “Zen Arcade”
– INXS                                 “The Swing”
– DIO                                   “Last In Line”
– U2                                     “Unforgettable Fire”
– Killing Joke                     “Eighties”

While music styles come, go, and evolve, it is comforting to see that it can still inspire the same reactions I had when I was 11. Here is my daughter and me trying our hand at one of her current favorites:
