    the only time i ever saw my husband dance to a song, in his entire life before he died, was just this one time when we were teenagers to She Blinded Me With Science. This song will forever remind of him and make me smile when i hear it. Still sounding good, too!

    My brother, John, who was living in Costa Mesa down the coast from LA had me come stay with him for the summer of 1985 when he flew me from Detroit. He was driving me around Hollywood looking at all the usual tourist stuff. We pulled up next to a Jeep on Sunset Boulevard at a red light next to an open Jeep Wrangler (Or CJ at the time -- It was a Jeep :)
    We looked over and said to each other, "That looks like Thomas Dolby!" Having both been alternative music radio DJs in college, we were quite sure. We both stared before the light turned green... Mr. Dolby looked at us, smiled, and nodded.
    Being in business theater for 20 years, I have met many celebrities and sports stars who end up backstage where I operate graphics to big screens. That smile and nod was as good as a handshake and signature on an album cover. Good times!

    • @breath888
      @breath888 9 лет назад

      Gary Lewis That's so awesome. Did you stay in LA or return to the D? Which alternative stations did you DJ for? I'm pretty shocked that my kid loves music from the 80s. I expected him to totally tease me, but he loves tons of it!

    • @DetroitLew
      @DetroitLew 9 лет назад

      I thought about staying out west and going to UCLA but I was halfway through college so I went back to Detroit. I worked at our Oakland University campus station WOUX (Now WXOU) and played live at a bunch of bars around Oakland County. Good times!

    • @breath888
      @breath888 9 лет назад

      Gary Lewis I can't remember the college station that used to come through in Macomb County. Maybe it was from Ann Arbor. I used to listen to 88.7 before it had strict playlists (before 89x). That was Canadian, right? I also remember listening to a local high school radio station (Mott, I think). I'm so glad I don't have to rely on radio to find good music these days. I can't imagine running out of music to hear.

    • @xdj8934

    it's an absolutely cracking track, and amongst lots of brilliant elements (funky bass line, Magnus Pyke, sinuous synth solo, etc), I always love the fantastic ending. Such a tricky thing to write so that it's perfect, but it just enables the track to go out with a BANG. Chapeau, Mr Dolby!

    A hot young librarian with glasses " Blinded Me with Science " after checking out a college science book. Whoo- Hoo. When this song was on the top 100 billboard charts in 1982.

"All my tootin' eyes?" "All my truth 'n lies?" So embarrassing. But this piece is still so much fun to listen to...!

    I was hoping for a lot more run on this guy. This song was the break out hit of the 80s and I expected a whole new era of cool to emerge but it seemed like he peaked with this one hit. Regardless he put a permanent time stamp and PWNED the 80s. I'm here because I hear this song on Pandora all the time, and it never fails to please. Rock on Mr. Dobly (nod to 80's Spinal Tap hehe).

    • @spookyelectrix
      @spookyelectrix Год назад

      He may have peaked commercially, but I believe that his artistic peak came with the follow up to Golden Age, The Flat Earth. One of the absolute best sounding albums to come out of the decade, and the songwriting was incredible.
