Picture this: the year is 1980, and the air is buzzing with the electric sounds of Starship and the soft hum of a Donna Summer ballad. As Scott McLean, Mark Smith and Lou Colicchio, sit down to reminisce about those glory days, we're not just talking about the music that had our toes tapping - we're sharing the personal side of things too, like the heart-pounding adventures of my daughter Amanda's spring break that had me, as a father, holding my breath. Join us for a trip down memory lane that's not just about nostalgia; it's about the stories behind the tunes and the movies that defined an era.
Now, let's shift gears to the heartbeat of the year's music scene - from the raw metal riffs of Iron Maiden's debut to Bob Marley's historic performance in Zimbabwe. We're tipping our hats to the artists we've lost, like Eric Carmen and TM Stevens, and debating over one-hit wonders that still have us humming decades later. Stick around for a deep dive into the bands that emerged in 1980, like Depeche Mode and The Church, and discover how their unique sounds left an indelible mark on the music industry.
Lastly, as we gear up for St. Patrick's Day, we're tapping into the rich tapestry of Irish culture. From culinary showdowns (corned beef versus shepherd's pie, anyone?) to the legacy of bands like The Cranberries, we're celebrating the spirit of the Emerald Isle. And because we love a good brew as much as the next person, we'll even settle the great beer debate: Guinness or Harp? So, grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let us regale you with tales, tunes, and a dash of cultural flair that's sure to entertain.

Speaker 3:I wasn't. I didn't see that All right, let's see.
Speaker 1:Let's jump right into a January 1st 1981. Cliff Richard is appointed an MBE by Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom. Cliff Richard, right yeah, don't look back. Right, did he say that?
Speaker 3:Um, most is not hungry eyes. That was our comment. He was in a bank called the shadows. He was a contemporary of the Beatles. Oh was he. Yeah yeah, British invasion. Oh yeah, I forgot. He had a couple of hidden singles in the 80s.
Speaker 1:I'm thinking that you make in tune. Oh, eddie Grant. No, no, that's saying, don't look back. Cliff is his last name, jimmy Cliff.
Speaker 3:Jimmy.
Speaker 1:Cliff. Oh well, with the woman, Mick Jagger. Yeah, with Mick Jagger. Yeah, yes, don't look back. Yeah, that was Jimmy Cliff, not Cliff Richard. Oh yeah, Well, before we get into this, let's let's kind of pay a little homage to Eric Common.
Speaker 4:We lost him this week.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, like I had posted in Facebook kind of the pot of the soundtrack of our youth. I know at least Lou and I right yeah, Mark, Mark, hold on.
Speaker 3:Mark heard on the oldie circuit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the raspberries. Right, yeah, raspberry. Yeah, yep, he sang go all the way, didn't he?
Speaker 3:Yes, he did.
Speaker 4:Great intro to a song. That's one of us.
Speaker 1:That's what I said is one of my favorite intros ever Great guitar sounds.
Speaker 3:A very bright record is still sounds good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, from New Jersey. Ah, okay, and who else did we lose this week?
Speaker 4:TM. Steve, I lost poker for 45. Poker no we lost the bassist called TM Stevens. Not many people know him but he was a big session guy and he played on a few key records and what's sad thing is, I knew him as a strong funk bassist, everything and a 72, a dementia. When you hear rock musicians just having dementia it's scary.
Speaker 3:You know he was he was diagnosed a while ago, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's been a while.
Speaker 3:Unfortunately.
Speaker 1:I thought we lost somebody else this week too, Another musician.
Speaker 4:Google who died this week?
Speaker 1:I could have swore, we lost another musician this month. Yeah, who did we lose somebody last week? Oh, it was like in almost like the same day. Oh, you know, I'll find out Because I know, I know that I let me see, I know we did, let me see.
Speaker 4:Rapper boss, one of the first women signed to Jeff Def Jam. No, no, wasn't that. She died at my age, wow.
Speaker 1:I don't know, it was somebody else. I know it was somebody else that died this week. Anyway, we'll, I'll figure out. Moving on, yeah, january 5, 1980. Donna Summers third double album in a 14 month period on the radio, greatest hits, volumes one and two, released on 15th of October 1979, reaches the top spot on the Billboard album shots. It was a dynamo. What time do you ask clowns start? Seven o'clock. Ass Ass hole, colin McClain. Thank you as a as comes. Yeah, anyway, january 7, 1980. At the age of 44, songwriter Larry Williams is found dead in Los Angeles, california home, of a gunshot wound to the head. Investigators are never able to determine whether his death was murder or suicide unsolved Huh.
Speaker 1:Unsolved. You know, anything about him.
Speaker 3:He wrote like bony Maroney, the Beatles covered some stuff Slow down. Do you write slow down? They're not sure? Yeah, he was pretty prolific, I think, but um, he was covered. I mean, the Beatles covered quite a few songs.
Speaker 1:Short fat. Wait, what was it Short?
Speaker 3:matchbox, matchbox. He wrote a short fat fan.
Speaker 1:Short fat fan, yeah. January 13, 1980. The Beach Boys, the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Starship perform at a benefit concert at Oakland Coliseum for the people of Campuchia. January 14, 1980 rush releases. Oh, uh-huh, what album mark permanent waves. Yeah, which eventually becomes the band's fifth platinum album. That was a biggie. Yeah, it was a biggie.
Speaker 3:And was that transition through? Yeah, yeah, yeah, spirit of the radio.
Speaker 1:Yep, great way to start the decade. Yeah, january 16th. Paul McCartney. I remember this. Paul McCartney arrested in Tokyo for having a half a pound of weed. The rest of his tour for with wings was subsequently canceled. Good job, asshole.
Speaker 4:It was the end of the wings they never played again.
Speaker 3:No, he wrote a song about that experience on his next album too.
Speaker 1:You know, he was never at his best than when he was in the 70s. Yeah, I'm gonna hit some of the 70s was just yeah, and then he got into the 80s and he was. You could see he was hitting that point that all these great artists like Elton John, they hit this point where they're kind of pop-ish and they're good and but not great Like nothing like Junior's Farm ever came out again. Jets Nothing like that ever came out again.
Speaker 4:But I would say in the 90s he had some peaks. I mean we bounded real nice with flowers and the dirt yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he started rocking again.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well even in the 80s. You know some of the more slick stuff. Well, I like the only nights. That's a beautiful song.
Speaker 1:I like no more lonely. I actually do like that, but that's to me that is a, an anomaly amongst his other ones you know Ebony and Ivory and say, say, say what I mean, but that was with him and Michael Jackson on his own he never reached that 70s status. And I said this, I've said this my theory on these things is these guys that are in these bands, these great bands, they leave the bands and they have a fucking small book of songs, yeah, that they just never got recorded with the band they were with Morrissey, great example, left the Smiths stayed on top but then eventually kind of started to. You can hear his sound change, but they leave. So listen to Uncle Albert. Right, that is a Beatles fucking song.
Speaker 3:But that's a.
Speaker 1:Beatles song.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know it could have been on the Beatles next album.
Speaker 1:Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. So okay, I would say one.
Speaker 4:Can I say something? I mean, in the 70s you had people that were just a little older than the 60s. He had Beatles fans, yet that generation is still listening. 80s was a whole different generation that came about, and so a lot of these guys too. They just lost some of their popularity because of that. There were so many new artists coming in in the 80s. You know it's bound to happen.
Speaker 3:Paul didn't lose relevance though. No, he didn't, because he's a beat, Because even the stuff he put out in the 80s, I mean like even say, say, say. I mean I don't like it, but it's not badly constructed. It's really not necessarily musically bed. I don't like the sound and the feel of it, but you know, judging by how well he I mean even his sales reflected it. I mean George Harrison didn't do shit until cloud nine, really, except for a few great singles. But you know I don't. I agree it does not come close to the 70s where, you know, post Beatles, he was on a fucking roll, yeah, right up until 1980, you know.
Speaker 1:January 19, 1980, the first UK indie shot is published in record week. The Spiz energies wears Captain Kirk topping the singles shot and Adam in the Ants, dirk wears white socks popping the album. I was a big Adam in the Ants fan, great song title yeah. January 25, 1980, paul McCone. He's released from jail in Japan, so he was in there for like I don't know. It's from the 16th to the 25th.
Speaker 3:Wow, he said it was really cold Almost 10 days. Yeah, they didn't treat him all that well either, apparently. No, back he was a beetle, didn't mean all that much. No, you remember his SNL appearance where they were? I think he did it remotely where they were. They had a koala bear on and they were like during how the koala bear likes to eat. You can lift this and how, paul?
Speaker 2:yes, you can just yeah.
Speaker 1:He's released from jail in Japan and ejected, not kicked out, not asked to leave. He's ejected from the country by Japanese authorities.
Speaker 3:They can't count over in the plan. Well, he wrote a song, the song you know. This song he wrote, but it's called frozen jab. Oh, there you go.
Speaker 1:Get away with that today? No, you cannot know. You can't because Asians don't care, asians don't care.
Speaker 3:I don't they care, then no, they don't in 1981 or 82 when he wrote it.
Speaker 1:They don't care no.
Speaker 3:Well, I think it was a flip side of temporary secretary, your favorite.
Speaker 4:Oh God, I hate that song.
Speaker 3:Oh, paranoid, paranoid. Oh, I did.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I know, we disagreed.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, let's see what we got here. February. February 7th 1980. Pink Floyd's the Wall Tour opens at Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. February 19th 1980. Oh, sad day, very, very sad day In the what would have been category, what could have been category. February 19th 1980. Bond Scott dies in London. Oh yeah, although common folklore cites pulmonary aspiration of vomit as a cause, was that the official cause is listed, as either of you know exposure Nope.
Speaker 4:Hmm, I just thought it was what you said.
Speaker 1:I'm not futuretime aspirating here, then you have the the. Uh, let me see.
Speaker 3:Did he freeze? Did he freeze, or something?
Speaker 1:No acute alcohol poisoning and death by misadventure.
Speaker 3:Ah, misadventure, yeah, that means you're partying, too much, yeah.
Speaker 1:Wow, february 27th 1980, the 22nd annual Grammy Awards are presented in Los Angeles. See, now they're just doing them in one place, like they should have been doing. They're presented in New York, chicago, la, fucking, boynton Beach, florida, like whatever Boynton Beach baby, shit off. Yeah, it's kind of a weird place. I know someone who lives there. You get out town it's kind of it's very bohemian. Yeah, downtown Boynton Beach is not really a flourishing downtown, but it says it's kind of bohemian feel to it.
Speaker 4:I have an open invitation to see someone there. Yeah, I mean you should.
Speaker 1:I mean it's not a bad place. You got all played Lake Worth right next to it, you got Delray right next to it. Hey, you just said it was a shithole. Well, I mean to live there. I mean, every place has a nice place, by the way. Yeah, yeah, it's just a weird place. I shouldn't have said shithole, let's see.
Speaker 3:Like like Ashle before got very popular.
Speaker 1:It's hosted by Kenny Rogers. Billy Joel's 52nd Street wins album of the year, while the doobie brothers what a fool believes came out in 80.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm raising like if you asked, I think the average person they'd be like I'll be on the seventies.
Speaker 3:I think the album came out in 79. So yeah.
Speaker 1:So what a fool believes when wins both record of the year and song of the year. I hate that's. And Ricky Lee Jones wins best new artist Chuck E's and love.
Speaker 3:Wait, that's 1980 or 79, 1980.
Speaker 4:Well, the album probably came out late, 79 maybe, and then she built up a following.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, I know I'm on 1980. Sure, don't fuck me up now. Yeah, I'm on 1980.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I thought the best new artist was a different person. Well, who do you have, christopher?
Speaker 1:Cross, wasn't that 81? I'm what you know. I typed in best new artist Grammy's 1980. Oh okay, Well, here it is right. Here, ricky Lee Jones, moving on, did you have something to say about Christopher Cross?
Speaker 3:He actually he was not a one hit. Yeah, remember, sometimes he's best new artist. That's all you ever hear of them. Yeah, he did more and sort of Ricky Lee Jones, not as much as Christopher Cross, though.
Speaker 1:But she never had a bigger hit than Chuck E's and love.
Speaker 3:Where she drops the N word twice. Yeah, can't do that today.
Speaker 4:Okay. At the 23rd annual Grammy Awards held at New York City's Radio City Music Hall in February 25th 1981, christopher Cross took home the prize.
Speaker 1:Thank you very much Thank you Big four.
Speaker 4:album of the year, song of the year, record of the year and best new artist.
Speaker 1:I know stuff. I'm not stupid like you think I'm smart.
Speaker 3:And I always expect His album came out 1980.
Speaker 4:I guess. So you know, hold on, hold on. I remember I was damn young when it came out.
Speaker 1:I was like losing the bizarro land website. He's on the web.
Speaker 2:Andy Morris, if you can't get through.
Speaker 1:I call him yeah.
Speaker 4:Christopher Cross's first album came out in 1979. According to Spotify.
Speaker 3:So he didn't win the Grammy, 1980 Grammys, he didn't win Best new artist.

Speaker 4:You know I bet money about them. Totally regional they they filled Madison Square Garden but nowhere else in the country could they do that. You know right yeah right, that's it.
Speaker 1:Suicidal tendencies for me. Oh, I want it was a Pepsi. I was one of the Pepsi. I want it was a Pepsi. Ah, who else? Who else is only a few more. The violent firms still touring, wow, wow, 44 years.
Speaker 3:Still I know Same same lineup.
Speaker 1:I'm I'm pretty sure. I mean maybe, maybe not. Oh, but that's one of those things where the lead singers really what matters.
Speaker 3:Gordon, gordon, gecko, gordon gano.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, they're the. They're the ones that really matter in a band like that right.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, his voice was so quirky and just yeah yeah, recognizable, for, like the church, the church, the lead singer for the church. His voice is the group you know, you know so funny, I agree. And the record companies hated it Early on their career. They thought he was just, he wasn't dynamic enough of a singer.
Speaker 1:But from the church.
Speaker 3:Yeah, steve, yeah, the thing was, you know it's, but they had to stick to their guns fucking dude.
Speaker 1:I mean, I just saw them and that's fucking great.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he's no opera singer, but he's just the way.
Speaker 1:No, but he has the songs for his voice. Exactly, and it's, and it's every song in that show and and my friend Phil Kelly, he came down here, we went and he wasn't really familiar with them. Very rarely will I say this. Every song in that show was good and they finished fucking big Like they were no joke. It was a really, really entertaining show. Uh, let's see so, uh, yep, violent fems, vixen, ah, this one, 1980, wang Chung baby. Hey, listen, they coined a phrase for a decade. Everybody.

Speaker 2:They were an Irish Cranberries chattanooga, the angst of what was going on in Ireland in their songs you know.
Speaker 1:That's still nothing. No, no, for some strange reason, no artist's death has bothered me more than her death. To this day, that still fucking bothers me. It's never a fucking Literally, I'm not lying. It unsettles me that she died in a fucking hotel room. Yeah, you know, and there was no ever. They never said, I don't think, what it was.
Speaker 3:Wasn't she anorexic? No, no.
Speaker 1:I don't think she had kids too. I had like three kids, I think.
Speaker 4:You know what it's, what makes us all feel.
Speaker 1:It's like a voice of a fucking angel.
Speaker 4:It's what makes us all feel mortal. Sometimes people do just die. That's what makes you enjoy it.
Speaker 1:That one bothers me still. It's just sad, it's just. I get this somber feeling about that.
Speaker 4:She, just she was young and she had so much more to say.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that would have been a great reunion tour. Yeah, they would have been fucking huge again. Yeah, okay, mark, you too, or anyone else.

I think I like some stuff that diehard fans don't I used to love Some of those Latter Day singles I used to love.
Speaker 1:And then they did this whole like 40 shows at the Sphere, right yeah.
Speaker 4:Did you see the numbers on that? I talked about it on our show.
Speaker 1:The number of them were phenomenal. Yeah, you did, of course, they were, of course. And then the last show fucking Bono can't fucking help himself. He can, he's got a big mouth. He goes and fucking sings a song. He wrote a song for Jill Biden. Of all the first, ladies, that useless piece of shit. Ay, ay, ay ay. She is dude, even more so than the Lonnie Look. Michelle Obama was not my favorite fucking person in the world, but her cause was fucking, you know, helping the overweight kids. They all have a cause. What?
Speaker 3:the fuck is.
Speaker 1:Jill Biden done with her fake doctorate. It's not even a PhD, it's an E-D-H of some shit.
Speaker 4:I'm uneducated so I can't comment on that.
Speaker 1:No, it doesn't mean. I've read her dissertation. It's fucking garbage. It's absolute garbage. It's got mistakes in it.
Speaker 4:Did you hear Tucker Cole talk about it?
Speaker 1:No, I give her no credit, I give her zero credit. Bono goes and writes a song about her.
Speaker 4:I would say the worst first lady initiative was just say no, just say no.
Speaker 1:But you're still talking about it today, aren't you? Yeah right, so there you go. It couldn't have been that fucking bad, but it didn't work.
Speaker 3:It was because of the insipid nature of it, just say no Come on, but it was, but it was.
Speaker 1:it's iconic.
Speaker 3:It's iconic Only because of people left at it.
Speaker 1:I'm going to go by, I'm going to get it.

Speaker 4:So Finnegan's Pub in Westwood, new Jersey, serves the best shepherd's pie. This is this is going to kill. This is going to be surprising for me to say, but I can't eat corn, beef and cabbage a lot. If I tried to eat it four times a year, I wouldn't be. It's it's gastric and keep talking, keep talking.
Speaker 1:I'm just going to go. I'm going to go doc for a second. Hold on, keep talking.
Speaker 3:I can comment on your comment about corn, beef and cabbage.
Speaker 4:The next day is rough.
Speaker 3:Oh, it's rough. I actually I made about a month ago because I don't plan on doing it on Sunday, cause it's been forever, and for like a week after that I said I asked him. I said work. I said can we're sweatpants all week? I can work, and they're like no, you gotta, you gotta, put regular clothes on Lou.

Speaker 1:Yeah, Great the next day. You know what my, my father says my grandmother used to cook it in a pan the next day, like for two days the cabbage and the vegetables, and she called it bubble and squeak. Bubble and squeak.
Speaker 2:I grew up on that. My sister knows.

Speaker 1:I freaking love it and you can make it, so you saved the crust for the for the end, the top, the eat underneath it. Yeah. Does yours have the top over it, or is it just the top over? Yeah, yeah, pop pies every I eat underneath it. And then I save that, all that doughiness, for the end.
Speaker 4:Now Finnegan's in Westwood Lou. You know that place they serve it with shredded beef and it's good, it's really good. It's. It's a little different, you know so.
Speaker 3:All right, Lou Liam Neeson. I didn't get the yes media, I didn't get the culinary course.
Speaker 1:Oh, all right, I figure Italian. So that's all you claim.
Speaker 3:So I like to drink. He wants to have a corned beef or cabbage or shepherd's pie.
Speaker 1:A good shepherd's pie, shepherd's pie. My brother said the same thing. I got to go with the corned beef and cabbage. I just nothing. As my grandmother, lily, quinn, lily and Lily and Quinn used to say, corned beef and cabbage makes an Irishman savage.
Speaker 4:I think you could eat concrete with salt and you'd be fine. You have the most, you have an iron stomach and an iron intestine, I do.

Speaker 3:Dalton Below Timothy Dalton, really yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, I gotta go with Liam Neeson too.
Speaker 4:Who do you think was the worst? James Bond's got the worst.
Speaker 1:James Bond. Uh, it's one of those two, and I said so, I'd probably say Pierce Bronson.
Speaker 4:I'd go with the guy before Pierce that did two movies that he did Timothy Dalton, timothy Dalton, oh, timothy Dalton, yeah, I don't like him. He was just, he was pushing it, he was trying to be.
Speaker 1:You know what You're right. You're right. You just changed I get it. That's right. I would say that You're right. I agree yes.
Speaker 3:I think the worst was David Niven.

Speaker 1:Throwing out the last Bond movie with Daniel Craig that I will never watch. I didn't see it.
Speaker 2:I loved it. I loved it. Don't watch it. I loved it. It's gonna ruin everything about Bond that you ever wanted to see. Why is?
Speaker 4:that Scott.
Speaker 1:Well, because number one he's being driven around by a fucking. It's woke. Yeah, it's woke because they fucking give the 007 to a black female right that they didn't have to do. And then they got one of her driving him on the back. He's on the back of her scooter, yeah.
