I had just finished a year in college and my Chicago White Sox went on a second half tear and ran away with the AL West Division ("Winning Ugly!"). Unfortunately all that unraveled in the ALCS: Lamarr Hoyt pitched an awesome game at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium, and after that the bats fell silent. All came crashing down in Game #4, where Britt Burns pitched the game of his life, only to give up a 10th inning home run to (of all people) Tito Landrum.<br><br>Years later 2005 happened and all is right with the world! 1983 was quite a memorable year.

I had forgotten. The kegs have "NITRO" in them, just for the record. Perhaps heart medicine for these old fogeys (my dad's 81 and he takes Nitro, himself).<br><br>By the way, that's a really cool Fender Rhodes keyboard he's playing in the video. The sound of the song, however, sounds like he's playing a Casio CZ-101, a very plastic/antiseptic looking keyboard. Where is the truth in advertising? That video is so bizarre. I had forgotten.

I stayed at college that summer of '83 before my final semester. My roommate and I had rented a funky house just off campus that was about a quarter the size of a real house. We had cable with MTV for the first time, and I remember this Loverboy video being on all the time. You couldn't turn on the radio without hearing something off "Synchronicity", and "King of Pain" takes me right back to that summer to this day. 1983 holds many memories for me: Graduating college, getting my first real job, getting engaged to my wife. It' doesn't seem possible that this was all 25 years ago. Thanks for the memories. Wow, you struck several chords with this one. I stayed at college that summer of '83 before my final semester.
