Why not take Billy out for a bit of a spin? Just make sure he's wearing a helmet. My fave song of his. It's just too good.
It's a live version. Not too bad at all.

This is just classic 80's. From '82. It was such a striking song. i saw a UK drama show with the same title, about an English cop who travels to Greece to find his lost daughter.
But I don't think this song has anything to do with that.

Enjoy this one asap. Prince music tends not to last long on YT. Tomorrow, it could be gone.

I enjoyed the Prince. You're right. Who knows how long it will be available?
I think I like this song the best.

Just like me, she was a victim of the night. I put my hand upon the lever, let it rock and roll. I had the one arm bandit fever, there was an arrow through my heart and my soul.
Oh yeah. One of the best bands ever (with one of the greatest lead guitarists ever).
Enjoy

And another one from the boys. Wembley, live in '85. Gee, I'm rhyming.

I've changed my mind on this one. I'm gonna slide in April Sun in Cuba instead. This is Dragon, from around '83 I think. They were a Kiwi band led by the charismatic Marc hunter. Unfortunately, he died from cancer about 10 years ago but they were a pretty decent group.
Actually, it's from '77 on further checking but I'll let it stay.

You can never go wrong with Bryan Adams. He was just huge, then he disappeared...... However I did post that song way long ago.
From Wiki.
Dragon is a popular New Zealand – Australian rock band, they were formed in Auckland, New Zealand in January 1972 and relocated to Sydney, Australia in May 1975. They were previously led by singer Marc Hunter and are currently led by his brother bass player Todd Hunter.They performed and released material under the name Hunter in Europe and United States during 1987. Keyboard player Paul Hewson wrote or co-wrote most of the group's hits: "April Sun in Cuba" peaked at #2 on the 1977 Australian singles chart; "Are You Old Enough?" reached #1 in 1978; and "Still in Love With You" reached #15 also in 1978.The Hunter brothers with Todd's partner, Johanna Pigott, wrote "Rain" a #2 hit in 1983. The name, Dragon, came from a consultation of I Ching cards by early band vocalist Graeme Collins.
Dragon have endured tragedy and notoriety: members dying including drummer Neil Storey of a heroin overdose in 1976, Paul Hewson of a drug overdose in 1985 and Marc Hunter of smoking related oesophageal cancer in 1998; the Stewart Royal Commission (1980-1983) investigated the Mr. Asia drug syndicate and obtained evidence that Dragon members were clients; On 1 July 2008 the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) recognised Dragon's iconic status when they were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame.

I like that venue - the appeal to the fans, but maybe I can find another at the same concert. If so, I'll change it out.

Love that Bryan Adams song. Haven't thought of that in ages. That was great.
And looking up above that at the Tom Cruise thing......did anyone see the MTV awards and see Tom Cruise do his Les Grossman dance with J. Lo??? It was great.....I didn't watch the show but saw them replay it later on several other shows.

Ah, the Cars. How truly '80s. Here's an example of early 80's video clips.
