Look who we're interviewing today...
That's right, Kenny Loggins will be our guest on the Stuck in the 80s podcast. Kenny just released a new album -- How About Now -- and is touring in support. He plays Clearwater's Ruth Eckerd Hall on April 13.
Times pop critic Sean Daly and I will ask him about his string of soundtrack hits from the 80s (including signature tunes for Caddyshack, Footloose, Over The Top and Top Gun), his phenomenal collection of duets with artists including Stevie Nicks and Steve Perry as well as his recent tour with former partner Jim Messina.
In the meantime, here are a group of songs to download to get you ready for the podcast:

Relive the music, movies and culture of the greatest decade ever with Times online editor Steve Spears. A teen during the decade, Steve is obsessed with everything from Duran Duran to Journey, John Hughes to John Cusack, and parachute pants to Reaganomics.
E-mail Steve Spears:
What about "I'm Free" from Footloose? It is him singing it, isn't it, or have I forgotten who it really is? Maybe no. 6? He was on Rachael Ray today and I'm very frightened that I know that.
