FMM: It's a pair affair

What better way to wrap up this week's "Pair-fect" week than with a classic 80s song about "a-pair."

Well, the song title has "affair," but it's close enough, right?

Rick Springfield is one of the biggest musical stars of the 80s. My sister was a big fan and she had Tiger Beat magazines with Rick on the cover. Not 100% sure about this, but she might even had a Rick Springfield poster in her room.

But Rick's popularity isn't surprising. He was churning out hit after hit after hit in the 80s. And his songs were commonplace in parties and discos during that decade.

One of his most popular songs is "Affair of the Heart." 

This is a fitting close to this weekly pair affair.

Slick Rick

When I was younger and people asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up, one of the answers that I gave was:

"When I grow up, I want to be like Rick Springfield." Harhar!



Rick was the quintessentially cool rock star. And his songs were totally infectious. That's why his songs were always on my playlist. Especially his song "Love Somebody" which I sang non-stop as a young boy.

Yup, I suddenly feel like a young boy again.
