I once believed that Hollywood lured all the crazies. But I recently discovered that Tinseltown has
nothing on the music world. I went to a music awards pre-party and saw dudes with outfits made from glued-on plastic gems, Elmer's oozing off the sleeves and dripping onto the bar. Wannabe groupies in outdated rubber dresses, snapping their ankles in 6-inch platforms. Guys with
Rockin' Like Dokken long hair, circa Sunset Strip 1987.
Guru types with shaggy grey hair and white linen suits. And
holy Corey Hart - so many people
wearing sunglasses at night.

While in Hollywood everyone strives to remain current, some people in the music scene (and I use the word 'scene' very loosely) become ensnared in very specific times in music history. For some, the world screeches to a halt once they find their favorite band, like
Captain and Tennille. Or worse, their favorite song, like
Kiss Me Deadly. And not in a cute vintage way.
