Reliving 80s Night at Tropicana Field
Ever wonder what some of our long-time fans look like? Well, here's Sweet Lou Grilli and his wife Barbara with me at Tropicana Field for 80s Night.
Lou reportedly has 15,000 songs on his iPod, and has listened to every Stuck in the 80s podcast since Episode #1 nearly three years ago. He was one of a handful of fans who won free tickets to that night's Tampa Bay Rays game in our podcast giveaway.
Speaking of podcasts, the latest episode is now online. The topic: Sean Daly and I revisit 80s Night at Tropicana Field.
But there's so much more, including Sean's retelling of his first visit to the "Spears Lair." And the ultimate 80s trivia challenge. The first five people to send in all five correct answers win a tampabay.com baseball cap. So far, nobody has sent in the correct five answers. So don't give up!

SUNDAY CHAT: Yes, we're chatting tonight about 9 p.m. The subject: Earworms of the 80s. Stay tuned for the official blog post.
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.

too funny, tonianne. i actually looked it up after i sent the message. that could be anything. it could be the last song i hear before leaving the house, car, whatever.it could be anything from good to bad. it could be the very awesome photograph by def leppard, or the cringe inducing mickey by toni basil.

I might be accused of questionable parenting when I confess that my son listened to the podcast with me. He kept rewinding the intro because it cracked him up everytime. The laughter was so strong that it induced the hiccups. Rosie Perez' encounter with Sean took him there.
The look on his face when he heard my name was priceless. Then, momma had some 'splainin' to do.
