Dave in SoDak:

The guitar tone and riffs in general of Stan Bush reminded me of the Producers. The band, not the Broadway sensation... The Producers. What ever happened to those guys? I mean, "She Shelia" and "What's He Got" were staples in high school - both with drama jocks, band nerds, football and basketball homecoming king nominees - It was sort of a universal cool thing - along with the cheerleaders practicing routines for the GoGos - this was 1982. Good memories.

Damn EFD, you're getting serious (with the 1987 AOR deep cut)!

john astley sounds nothing like rick astley, but jon astley does sound like the vocal in the song in "better off dead" where jon cusack pulls out a sax in the crappy fast food joint. another great memory - that movie, anyway.

Jon and Rick are *not* related. But, at one point, Jon was brother-in-law of Pete Townshend. (He handled much of the remastering of The Who catalog.)

one other Jon Astley note - that's Slowhand on the guitar solo.

Ok, really weird Google results. When I Googled "astley", I got pages and pages of Rick Astley hits, other various Astleys like a vineyard and apartment building, but NO Jon Astleys.
