TWO, H.F. took Rocio's side...well I guess it doesn't take a genius to figure out why that was the case.<br />AND for the record the Jordan High 1988 Junior Prom theme WAS "Never Tear us Apart" not some metal balad Stryper song. What I may have lacked in debate skills that night, was compensated by love for INXS. I would not yield!<br /><br />Brad DeHaan was playing The Swing, 1984 while we played ping pong in the garage. He was the coolest teenagery guy I knew at the time, and the songs were soooo RAD!<br /><br />If you look closely at the cover art for this album and then some photos of Mike S. at that same time you can see we both loved this band!<br /><br />Good post!<br /><br />Good thoughts!Hermshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850203269716559213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937030690324691772.post-8863167859293724412009-05-07T08:51:00.000-06:002009-05-07T08:51:00.000-06:00The 'inks' line made me laugh as did Stryper being...The 'inks' line made me laugh as did Stryper being used for Jr. Prom. Who am I to mock though? I'm the guy who signed off on 'To Be With You' by Mr. Big for our prom. Not much better.<br /><br />Corbie - no reason to boycott the blog. I NOW like The Cure and if you recall the song of the day when my Mate died was 'Boys Don't Cry.'<br /><br />Bro - I remember that poster and I would have been fearful to hang it in front of your old man as well. No shame there. There is some shame in 'Wild Wild West' though because it is just a rip off of 'Pump it Up' by Elvis Costello. Give it a listen and tell me I'm wrong.kghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03186203941928566163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937030690324691772.post-668324315473841982009-05-07T08:18:00.000-06:002009-05-07T08:18:00.000-06:00Why would you go with Inks, when you can have Stry...Why would you go with Inks, when you can have Stryper for a prom theme song?

Okay, maybe top 20 to be safe. Great, great album. <br /><br />So many memories associated with these songs...<br /><br />A class officer planning meeting at the G house was the first time I heard anything from inks. I did not know his name at the time, but the funny kid with the pretty green eyes and the nose was trying to convince the class officers it was the perfect song for junior prom. Too bad his debating skills were not quite as sharp back then.<br /><br />The Loved One still remains my favorite song. I remember you blasting it over and over and it may have been the song that won me over. <br /><br />Thanks for the memories.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12541919627225487749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937030690324691772.post-26057975221280924302009-05-06T13:04:00.000-06:002009-05-06T13:04:00.000-06:00One time, I complained to Eric Lloyd that we didn'...One time, I complained to Eric Lloyd that we didn't have 'a song' and Escape Club's 'I'll Be There' happened to be on the radio and he said 'how about this one, then?' and I figured it was as good as any other so, why not, right? It makes me laugh every time I hear it (which is roughly 1 in every 5000 songs since it's on my ipod rotation).Corbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398238202579667140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937030690324691772.post-31695473491444477762009-05-06T12:46:00.000-06:002009-05-06T12:46:00.000-06:00Nothing drags me back to my past faster than this....Nothing drags me back to my past faster than this.<br />I remember spending hours in art class drawing the cover of that album. I think I still have it somewhere (the drawing).<br />KG will appreciate that the first poster I ever purchased was of INXS (followed quickly by U2 and Duran Duran), but out of an irrational fear of my father I hid it under my bed for three weeks. When I finally put it up he walked in, said "what is inks? He looks like a girl." Ahhhh the good old days.<br /><br />On a related note, seeing this album caused me to quickly find and download Wild Wild West, by the Escape Club.brohammashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916793129032434035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937030690324691772.post-61652421035789352322009-05-06T11:32:00.000-06:002009-05-06T11:32:00.000-06:00INXS reminds me of Robyn (when she was a Uribe) an...INXS reminds me of Robyn (when she was a Uribe) and of her brother Lee..and I love that album.

I still remember her pronouncing the name wrong....'inks'. What the what? I'm glad I had older siblings to teach me the correct pronounciation so I didn't look like an a$$.<br /><br />The Other KGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937030690324691772.post-67425596688681638522009-05-06T09:19:00.000-06:002009-05-06T09:19:00.000-06:00I loved this album.
