Van Halen: "1984"

I was a latecomer to rock and roll music...you know REAL rock and roll, but one of the first bands I fell for was Van Halen.
  The LP "1984" did it for me. I didn't realize til a few years later that the synthesizer on "Jump" was a rarity for them. That song topped the charts and opened up the band to a whole new audience. There is also "Pnama" and one of my all-time favorites, "I'll Wait." The hit "Hot For Teacher" is also a rocker.
You must remember that 1984 is also the year of "Purple Rain" and "Born In The USA", by Bruce Springsteen. It was a good year for music.

Bette Davis Eyes...

I was watching an Eighties video show on VH1 Classic a while back,  and I came across a video I hadn't seen in years.
There on stage it was Kim Carnes singing "Bette Davis Eyes."
That was one of my all-time favorites in the 80's and it still stands up today. How can you forget the "clack, clack...clack, clack?"
Classic.
  I wonder what happened to Kim?
