Since have a late-year birthday, 1985 is kind of stolen valor for me. Let's look at 1986, a truly flawed and misguided music year for boomer icons (if not boomers themselves):

![[KISS guitarist/vocalist] Paul Stanley invited [then-DOKKEN bassist] Jeff Pilson and I up to his hotel room to write songs after one of the shows. We were very excited, knocked on his door, pushing our recording rack on wheels that we toured with. He let us in wrapped in a towel and soaking wet. He suggested we put on towels too and jump up and down on the beds to get our creative juices flowing, which we did, but then we never wrote any songs. That was weird."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bsisp2n32shkwtgn23aamoy7/bafkreidxvlxnijjb4xzk2p7x7afaynvuh47gvffqehqztovh55drc5anrq@jpeg)

I love that TFF went with the same cover art concept as Black Sabbath for the album where the band was reduced to one guy

That made my head hurt almost as much as the fact I was reading a story about Devo with this breaking news banner on top. De-evolving hard.

Near the end of the track labeled "Gary broken string banter" we get Bob (IIRC) explaining the meaning of the S+E tour t-shirt, which I didn't buy because I could not imagine spending ten 1992 dollars on it. Look at it!

There's apparently a dispute(?) about when this came out. Call me a 1985/86 truther because I remember being in high school when my friend and I made fun of this LP when we saw it at our favorite record store (I had graduated by 1989)
