Easy Like Sunday Morning All Night Long

I am a child of the eighties.  I was a jelly wearing, pastel lip gloss lovin' feathered hair fanatic (freak?).  Yikes.  So glad those days are over.  

The thing I've never parted with is my love of the music from that era.  As a matter of fact, before I started dating husband (now married TWENTY years), we were sitting around with friends listening to music. It was the very early nineties, and the hot music of the time was grunge.  Bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, and the like ruled popular rock music, and I was a fan.  My then-acquaintance said to me, "Come listen to something."  He grabbed a Lionel Richie record and put it on.  I could tell he was trying to gauge my reaction, because people in our "rocker" group of friends may not appreciate something so old or sentimentally sweet.  We were Generation X, after all.  Well, there may as well have been fireworks going off!  This adorable guy was speaking my language.  This was the day I saw stars in my eyes and thought to myself, "this guy may be THE one."  I was smitten.  

Fast-forward twenty years to last week, Tuesday, June 3, 2014.  In honor of our anniversary, my sweet, sweet now-husband took me to see the Lionel Richie All the Hits All Night Long tour at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA.  Let me say, that Mr. Richie is the consummate entertainer, he is charming, endearing, and very funny!  Who would've thought?  The tour is certainly named appropriately; the performance included hits from my youth such as Hello? Dancing on the Ceiling, We Are the World (co-written with Michael Jackson), and beautiful ballads like My Love; but what I found fabulous is that Mr. Richie also performed several hits from The Commodores days, songs I also love, having grown up listening via my mother's records.  I mean, The Commodores had me at Sail On, which was included in the repertoire as well as Easy Like Sunday Morning, Brick House, and Endless Love, among others.  

Lionel Richie has an incredible body of work, is a true talent (who hasn't lost his voice), and if you have the chance to see him perform, you will not regret it!
