Questions for Debbie Gibson?
Tomorrow, for a very special taping of Stuck in the '80s, Deborah "Debbie" Gibson will be visiting the studio LIVE! IN PERSON!
The '80s pop princess is in town promoting a number of things, including a performance arts camp, an online reality show and her upcoming residency at Atlantic City's Harrah's Casino.
Spears and I are in a flop-sweaty froth about this. In fact, we just consumed large quantities of Thai food while excitedly preparing for this legendary interview. But we need your help.
So...WHO HAS QUESTIONS FOR DEBBIE GIBSON?
Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers rock Tampa Bay. To hear the latest "Stuck in the 80s" episode now, 
I already gave Steve a question (and a warning: no looking at the Playboy pictures before the interview), but I'll give you one too.
How do you think you were viewed by the established artists at the time, when you first came on the scene?

How about this...
If you had a time machine, would you use it to return to yesterday and prevent the two sweaty, creepy and rather pungent men in front of you from consuming the Thai food that is currently assaulting your nostrils?

Your life is too good SD! Sparky would take that gig. Wow did I have a HUGE crush on Miss Gibson when I was but a youngin. I still have both her early CD's stuck in the collection of hairmetal. If you could somehow swing an autographed 8x10 that would be HUGE!

Sean, I have a suggestion for you. Rather a command. YOU MUST CONTROL YOUR GURGLING! Perhaps prominently displaying a framed photo of your beloved FF, Lulu and Twotwo on the desk will help you. Just a thought.
As for the question. Hmmm. Why is it so difficult for her to accept that she'll always be DEBBIE GIBSON to the world. Fighting it seems futile. What gives?

Does Ms. Gibson have any future collaborations with the Circle Jerks planned?
She sings background vocals on 1995's "I Wanna Destroy You."

Why was "So Close to Forever" relegated to a b-side?
Will she ever get married? Does she need a volunteer?
Tiffany or Debbie Gibson? Who looks better naked?
