Haha, I see. If you played four early Loverboy songs, they had to have been The Kid Is Hot Tonite, Turn Me Loose, Working for the Weekend and Lucky Ones. Yes?
To paraphrase Meat Loaf, two out of four ain't bad. We did "Lady of the 80's" and, for some reason I never quite understood, we did "Jump" (was that song even a hit?). It was my idea to seque "Jump" into "Workin' for the Weekend" -- rather than the four strikes, we led in with the synth hook -- and we also did "Lucky Ones".
I missed most of 1983...
Musically, or in general?
In general. The band broke up, I moved back home and started taking classes again, and I got a job working third shift at a 24-hour campus restaurant. I worked, I went to school, I slept, in that order. The seemlingly few hours a day I was awake were spent with my girlfriend, in a perpetual fog induced by too little sleep and too much
non-tobacco. The mid 80's were basically lost years for me.
