Music just takes me back

I don’t know if Magic Mountain in Southern California still has a concert hall but I saw Oingo Boingo when I was in the fifth or sixth grade. My friends laughed about how we had no idea who they were when we saw them as kids; it was before Dead Man’s Party which came out in 1986.

I was the most excited to see En Vogue in 1991 at Disneyland’s Grad Nite. I was completely captivated by the a cappella singing of Hold On. And the lyrics went straight to my heart.

Remember he needs space
Be patient and he’ll give his heart to you
