Ready to get Regenerated?
This summer's most impressive 80s music fest -- the Regeneration Tour -- is starting to ramp up its publicity machine. Now there's an official website to keep fans up to date on tour news.
Only 16 dates have been announced for this tour, which includes The Human League, Belinda Carlisle, ABC, Dead or Alive, A Flock of Seagulls and Naked Eyes.
Keep your eye on the Aug. 2 date for Las Vegas, because a group of Stuck in the 80s fans are planning to attend (yeah, myself included.) Tickets go on sale Saturday, May 10. E-mail me at stuckinthe80s@tampabay.com if you want more information on what we've got planned for that weekend.
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:
Argh! Stop toying with me, Strange.

Spearsy I'm jealous like whoa. Have fun in Vegas while I sneer at tourists being driven around Boston and quacking. QUACKING.
Can I get a do-over?

I'll do my best... but with other things going on.. it may be too much for my pocket book! The Tampa show is a little more within my range.

Good GOD I wish they were coming here.
But a road trip to Atlanta is not out of the question.
