Well, I was all set to dedicate today's '80s flashback to Kevin Dubrow of Quiet Riot fame who passed away earlier this week. But Polli beat me to it. Don't worry, I banged my head plenty in honor of Metal Health.
So instead of head banging and rampant insanity in mosh pits, I'll slow things down. This week's flashback is also pretty much a one-hit wonder and I wouldn't be surprised if only a handful of readers actually know the name of the band that performed it. While the song gives off a melancholy feel, it's always seemed like a beautiful tune to me. And for some reason, I always think of the Brat Pack flick "St. Elmo's Fire" when I hear it, even though it's not on the soundtrack at all. Maybe it sounds a "little" like the instrumental love song from the flick, I don't know. Anyways, as winter gets ready to rear its ugly head and the cold starts setting in, this one should help you cope.

Love this song s much Andrew. Great choice. Thanks for linking to my Kevin DuBrow memorial post as well. When this song came out when I was a teen, I lived in Alaska so it really hit home for me.
I was truly in a northern town. My online name used to be "northerngirl" before I moved down here and took up my childhook nickname -- Pollwog. I relaly love this flaashback series you have. Oh! I wanted to ask if you have any badge/graphic/widget other bloggers could put on their blogs or sidebars to promote your coupon blog? I'd really like to add one to my blog if you do. Kinda like the ones Mike made to promote Gummy. Because, as YOU know, everbody loves coupons! 
I used to love this song! And I actually knew the name of the band.
Good choice, Andrew!
@Polli - Wow, Polli. You really have lived the adventurous life, haven't you? I've always dreamed of visiting Alaska actually. Maybe one day. I can totally see how that song'd hit home for ya, Northerngirl.
Oh, and I don't have any badge promoting my blog, but that's a great idea. I'll get right on it! Thanks so much for the idea and for offering to slap it in the pond!
@Tish - Bonus points for Team Tish for knowing the band! And why did you "used" to love that song, T? You STILL can love it, y'know. Heh.
