It’s Rick Astley’s birthday
To celebrate this momentous occasion, I bring you one of popular music’s all-time worst songs. If there is one thing that screams “eighth grade,” it is this song, which is a fine example of the wasteland that was late-1980s pop music.
(Probably not-that-) Interesting anecdote: Pretty much all of us had bad haircuts 20 years ago, myself included. Notable A.C. commenter Steve had some elevation to his coif, to the point that another friend of ours (who now is an operative with the Obama campaign) started calling Steve “Rick Astley.”
