Watching “Fast Times At Ridgemont High” tonight triggered one of my favorite ear worms from the early 80s.

Life isn't easy from the singular side
Down in the hole some emotions are hard to hide
It's your decision, it's the chance that you take
It's on your head, it's a habit that's hard to break
Do you need a friend, would you tell no lies
Would you take me in, are you lonely In The Dark
Monday nighty night jam from what I consider to be his best album.

Do you need a friend

Are you lonely
In The Dark
This album and “Making Movies” from Dire Straits - and steady doses of Led Zeppelin, of course - helped me get through my junior year in high school.

We live in confusion times
My world is a vice
Nobody gets out alive
But you can break through the ice
Don't Say No
My wounds are the open kind
I bleed every day
I pray for a change of mind
You can take me away
Don't Say No
I have visions of the “Guitar Hero” scene in the flick “Couples Retreat.”

Lonely Is The Night
When you find yourself alone
Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own
Lonely Is The Night
When there's no one left to call
You feel the time is right--(say) the writin's on the wall
Back on deck after a long weekend that included my dad’s funeral. Tomorrow, it’s back to “the grind” but for now, it’s simply too nice to be indoors.

You never listen to the voices inside
They fill your ears as you run to a place to hide
You're never sure if the illusion is real
You pinch yourself but the memories are all you feel
Can you break away from your alibis?
Can you make a play?
Will you meet me In The Dark?

As the sun sets (and before I get another cup of tea), the title track from what is, as far as I’m concerned, one of the better rock albums from the early 1980s.

Some people
They treat me kind
Some drive me away
Some people
They blow your mind
It's not easy today
Don't Say No
A Monday road jam: always thought it kicked ass from the very first time I heard it on the radio as a high school junior about this time 43 years ago.

Might just be Billy’s best. I know it’s been a favorite of mine since my high school days. Just a few years ago. 😉

You take no interest, no opinions to dear
You make the rounds and you try to be so sincere
You guard your hopes and you pocket your dreams
You'd trade it all to avoid an unpleasant scene
Can you face the fire when you see me there?
Can you feel the fire
Will you love me In The Dark
