Aerosmith? The pain was self-induced, but during and after the Toys In The Attic album, they did a garage full of heroin and cocaine, They hit bottom, got sober, and returned with a vengeance with 1987's Permanent Vacation and stayed relevant well through the 90's.

I hope the plural form is acceptable 🫤

picked a rendezvous for the night

and the clowns have all gone to bed
you can hear happiness
staggering on down the street
footprints dressed in red
and the wind whispers...

half bear, the other half cat

So, in that timeframe I'm probably all of 14. I head over to the jukebox and play this so I can play air keyboard on the bar while I drink my orange Nehi.

The Amazing Fred "Curly" Neal was born May 19th, 1942. One of the most recognizable Harlem Globetrotters, he played in over 6,000 games in 97 countries from 1963-1985. He was just the fifth Globetrotter to have his number retired. The Greensboro, NC native passed away in 2020.
For many decades Republicans have preached "Unions bad", and many gullible voters listened and nodded like cattle to slaughter. Real wages tumbled, and corporate greed beat the American worker to a bloody pulp.
How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

water on your drivin' side
concrete mountains rearin' up
throwing shadows just about 5
sometimes you can smell the green

I'd probably be so indecisive and random that I'd yell "I don't know!! St. Elmo's Fire!!" When everyone stopped laughing I might pick this - to play air guitar on one more Vito Bratta solo.
