So, week before last, I’m driving back to the hotel after enjoying a nice dinner at Cunnetto’s House of Pasta with my old girlfriend Patty and I’m listening to KSHE 95, the best rock station in the world. They have a program called Hair Band Durand where the DJ Durand plays music from some of the hair bands of the 80’s and this song came on by Autograph, a one hit wonder band. For some strange reason, I thought this was a song by Kiss with a keyboard part added. Here’s Turn Up the Radio.
It’s always a mystery why some bands can record a killer song like this and then they cannot do anything else as good the rest of their career. It’s like Boston was able to record that one really great album and then nothing else as good for the rest of their career. Scholz shot his wad on the first one and it took him a long time to reload.
