On the verge of turning over a bunch of Ohs! Is 1999 a new beginning, or just a random configuration?
Raymond Taylor singsongs “Christmas 1999” about a pivotal time in his life. This pop existential crisis faces the new millennial pressure and caves! The honesty!
Much younger at the time, Evan Church’s rockingly pop memory adds Rock’m Sock’m “Robots” to the list of great toys he was buried in back then. Greedy brat, i love ‘im.
Perhaps a childhood memory that needs blocking, “Christmas 1999” recounts a BLUE ALERT confessional from the parents about who’s real and who isn’t. Driving rock played with tough love from Gregg Albertson.
I am the biggest fan of Spray’s “The Ballad of Xmas ’99,” a sprightly pop corrido about losing a song competition to Cliff (prolly Cliff Richard, whose ‘Mistletoe and Wine’ has been on the blog). Poor losers, great song. Wotta comeback!
