By the way, the song Shannon was inspired by the death of Beach Boy Carl Wilson’s Irish Setter.
Yeah, but not in the way of casual recognition of “Where’s the Jazz Singer now?”
Thanks for the link, NoCoolUserName. Who would’ve thunk it that Neil would have made so much money?

Rick Springfield was at Woodfield Mall back in the early 70s, promoting his album. We did not know this. We saw this devastatingly handsome dude walking around and started following him. He spoke to us briefly and then gave us autographed albums! Weren’t we shocked! Boy, was he a cutie! I no longer have the album, but it was thrilling that he wrote my name. (sigh)
How about “Sade” – whatever happened to her? She seemed like she was a cut above the regular 80’s pop fodder, and never would have figured her to just up & vanish like she did. Any one know what she’s doing now?
She had a kid and had some legal problems which revolved around a serious car accident, but she released Lovers Rock in the Fall of 2000 and it was well recieved by both critics and the public. Her concert tour to support the album sold out many of its dates.
So, she’s still out there.
Whatever happened to Ace of Base?

I also seem to recall that Sade is a germaphobic, anyone back me up on this?
Anyone else remember a song from the 80s called “Mona with the Children”?
And anyone know what happened to El DeBarge?
They released The Bridge in the fall of 1995, and while it went platinum within 6 months, their moment had passed. After 3 years off they released Cruel Summer which sold worse then The Bridge did. In 2000 they released a greatest hits album.
He has released several albums and singles since 1985, but save for his appearence on Quincy Jones 1990 hit The Secret Garden (Sweet Seduction Suite none of them have been successful.
I’ve been singing Alone Again, Naturally lately, and have been wondering about Gilbert O’Sullivan…anyone??
