Big Hair and Parachute Pants - The 80's Re-Lived



Yep, Big Hair and Parachute Pants, that's how I remember it.

I grew up on the 80's Rock-and-Roll and to this date love listening to all my favorite songs from that era. So many great songs came out of the 80's so I was not surprised to hear that a Broadway Musical had been made called "Rock of Ages", which features some of the best songs released during that time

One2One Network gave me the opportunity to take a listen to the soundtrack to "Rock of Ages" and I was impressed. I wasn't real sure how they could take those classic rock and roll hits and make them into a musical with a soundtrack that I would want to hear, but they did. Not only did I listen to it, but I keep it in my truck so I can listen while I'm driving. Now, I'll admit, for the soundtrack, I think I would have edited out the "talking" but overall, they did a really good job on putting it together. The vocals were great and they did a fantastic job "blending" the songs.

If you'd like to buy a copy for yourself, just go HERE.

Cool info: New Line Records just hammered the in-store release of the Original Broadway Cast Recording of five-time Tony Award nominated "ROCK OF AGES." For those of you not in the know, Rock of Ages is the new Broadway musical starring American Idol finalist Constantine Maroulis. Set in 1987 in a legendary Sunset Strip rock club, a small-town girl meets a big-city dreamer and they fall in love to the greatest metal songs of the 80's. The musical is an arena-rock love story told through the mind-blowing, face-melting hits of Journey, Bon Jovi, Styx, Reo Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Foreigner, Twisted Sister, Poison, Asia, Whitesnake and more.

Who needs BlogHer, really, when I can stay home and ENJOY:

10. The most perfect weather for July, with temps hovering just around 90 degrees.

9. A full weekend playing with my brindle boxer, Tiger. He loves me so much!

8. A whole weekend without housework. I'm all caught up.

7. Couch time with my sweetie, Ollie. (see #1)

6. Hanging with friends of ours we haven't seen since last summer!

5. Quiet time in the country. (see #1)

4. Morning coffee while sitting on the deck in the country with my sweetie. (see #1)

3. Long nights, snuggled up with my sweetie. (see #1)

2. I am spending 4 days at the river with my SWEETIE. (see #1)

And, my Number 1 Reason why I am EXCITED to Stay Home with my Family this coming weekend:

My sweetie, Ollie, is coming home! Yay! I haven't see him in a month and will only see him one weekend a month for the next 9 months or so, until he completes this job in NEBRASKA. So, you can have your party at BlogHer because I have MY BABY! Which, by the way, I can give at LEAST 10 more reasons for staying home, but this is a site for family!
