1988 Was A Badass Year For Music

The Facebook post below just showed up in my suggested follows account last night. I couldn't help but notice all the amazing songs from 1988. So many great number 1 hits! There's so many George Michael songs here (Faith was a huge album folks!), plus Guns n' Roses, Def Leppard and INXS. Cheap Trick hit paydirt with "The Flame" and so did Poison with "Every Rose Has Its Thorn."

Bon Jovi reached the top of the charts with "Bad Medicine" and The Beach Boys made a comeback with "Kokomo." Such a great list of songs. Perhaps the best year for popular music, ever. Thoughts?

Cheap Trick Announces Las Vegas Residency

Cheap Trick will host a short Las Vegas residency beginning in late February. Tickets are on sale today and since there are so few shows, I expect each will sell out quickly. This is happening at the STRAT hotel. Good luck if you are planning on attending - let me know if you get tix!

We're ready for our new #LasVegasStrip residency at The STRAT Hotel, Casino & SkyPod in Vegas!!! First Shows Feb. 25, 26 and March 4, 5, on Sale Starting Jan. 3.
Fan Club presale begins Monday at 10AM PST using code CTLIVE - https://t.co/hjtNWEeide pic.twitter.com/WNqDUSugkG
