'Cause I Live To Like You!
Corny movies with cheesy lines is something we grew up with during the 80s - but that's what makes them special and definitely encapsulated in time.

Which Is The Best Best Wine? Could It Be... Red Red Wine?
So I'm back... and this time, I'm not alone. Well, technically I am, but a couple of friends made some music magic for me with this new intro to the podcast! But I digress. Music in the 80s defined today's sound... Ask The Weeknd, he'll tell you all about it. The beautiful thing about that decade was that thanks to MTV, a lot different sounds came to light.
