Dude! Joe's Jottings, Mostly Junk

is...April 23, 1988, 21 years ago.  I'm 2 months from graduating and SO into senioritus, though my grades actually went up.  Go fig.

Right now this happens while I do laundry and pack for 2 days in Jersey.  Not even an interesting part, neither (yes, NJ has interesting places to go).

We review "last week" with

3. Where Do Broken Hearts Go
   
2. Devil Inside
   
1. Get Out of My Dreams, Get Into My Car (I still don't get it)
   

And here we go with...( 40-11 )And into the top ten with...

10. ...more crap: Taylor Dayne's Prove Your Love
    
9. Natalie Cole's cover of Pink Cadallac.  boy we're not doing very well this week.  6 artists I like, and only 1 song I *really* like (and it was a one-hit-wonder).
   
8. The real Gloria Estefan with Miami Sound Machine, not that you'd notice with the ballad Anything For You.  Actually, hearing it today I notice the band contributing in a very stylish, understated way, in the backing tracks, an aspect definitely missing in her early 90s "solo" hits.
   
7. Mall-goddess (at the time) Tiffany covers the Beatles with I Saw Him Standing There
   
6. Aerosmith's comeback continues with Angel
   
5. Pebbles's Girlfriend.  bleh.
   
4. Casey reads off a whole bunch of critics praising Terrence Trent D'arby and Wishing Well as "the future of pop music", while I laugh my ass off at how history turned him into a one-hit wonder REAL fast.
   
3. Billy Ocean's Car falls from #1.
   
2. INXS hold onto their #2 spot with Devil Inside, tragically meaning that
   
1. Whitney Houston is #1 with Where Do Broken Hearts Go.

Gee, guess how much I liked 1988...
