After being distracted ALL DAY at work today, I think I finally have #8 figured out!!! Is it Kenny Rogers?
Holy shnikeys, I posted that at the same time Pjazzy gave her answer!
Well, Kenny's not my favorite singer because of the way he treated his Becky in "Coward of the County." Sheesh.
Anyway, Editor and pjazzy, my '80s music quiz is still open. I'll be posting the answers late on Thursday. I think Malcolm is winning at this point, so if anyone would like to knock him out of the ring, here's your chance. :)
