Mr. T "Be Somebody Or Be Somebody's Fool"

I wasn't really sure if I was should post this song for April Fools, or for Mother's Day . . .

Please enjoy the 80s awesomeness from a motivational video called "Be Somebody Or Be Somebody's Fool," featuring the song "Treat Your Mother Right."


Hear Mr. T drop some knowledge, on Youtube.

The Bangles "I Will Never Be Through With You"

I've blogged on The Bangles before, mentioning that it's easy to write them off as a bit of 80s silliness, based on their videos and their hits.

But I've come around to the point where I recognize what lots of their fans, past and present, acknowledge---they're actually a pretty rocking band, with a great 60-Pop sensibility.

If you can get past your burning desire to Walk Like An Egyptian and mock them, you'll find that this new track is a really well crafted, pop-rock song.

It's not really getting any attention anywhere, because folks are quick to dismissed an artist, based on 25-year-old feelings.

So really, discovering this song, is like discovering a new band that your friends don't know about!
