Billy Squier - Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You

^^^This was posted by Sondra.

Oh, I forgot to say, I'm in love with Martha Quinn (for those of you who know who she is! For the rest, she's the one with the gray sweater and pearls, I think she was the very first MTV deejay, along with that geeky guy, back when MTV played music ("Music TV", how cool was that!!!).

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS/HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

[Hello Goodbye]

Amazing!  I made it through all my life thus far without ever hearing of Billy Squier!

Well, now it's too late to go back!!

Hello-Goodbye, what do you think of this vid?

Amazing!  I made it through all my life thus far without ever hearing of Billy Squier!

Shocked! Okay, now you got me started. He was huge for a while back then. Last year when I saw Ringo and his All Starr Band, Billy was one of the performers. Still looking good too! The friend I went with hadn't really ever heard of him either and after the show she was raving about how good looking he was. Oh, and how good his music was. Heh.  My best friend and I were OBSESSED with him in the early eighties. Whenever they'd play one of his videos on MTV I'd run into the room like a maniac. My first concert was Billy Squier with Def Leppard opening for him at the Nassau Colosseum. I was obsessed with them too! Ha. Of course I'm back to the Beatles again though, but the break was fun.
You MUST have heard at least ONE of these songs!!

Martha Quinn, Nina Blackwood, Alan Hunter, JJ Jackson, and Mark Goodman. Can't believe I still remember all their names. Obviously I spent an ENORMOUS amount of time watching MTV back in the day. Heh.

[Hello Goodbye]

Sondra, I don't recognize any of those Billy Squier songs, not even Lonely Is The Night.  In the 80s I listened to WCBS FM.  It was all 50s, 60s and 70s stuff.  I never watched MTV, but would occasionally watch VH-1 so I'm familiar with The Police, a-ha, The Cars.  I guess I avoided music from the 80s on.  My turntable was kept busy with the records I had.  With the advent of CD players, I bought, you guessed it, 50s, 60s and 70s stuff.

If I wasn't listening to CBS FM, records or CDs, I was practicing my guitar repertoire....Delta blues (Ian Buchanan - my teacher, Hot Tuna - Ian Buchanan taught Jorma Kaukonen too), Beatles, Animals, Moody Blues.....60s stuff.

Sondra - did that video really destroy his career? He did kind of look like Richard Simmons for the first 3/4 of the video, but that was the 80's, everybody had at least one bad day then!

I don't care about anything else - that Christmas song you posted earlier makes me think he has done his duty to add to the positive karma of the universe

He lost most of his male fan base. Before that he was considered a hard rock guitar guy. Picture Eric Clapton in the video. How do you think his fans would react? Ha! Not saying he's anywhere in the realm of Clapton btw, just an example. Anyway, not smart to mess with your image when you've got a good thing going I guess.

I know it's after the holiday, but I love this one:

Run DMC - Christmas In Hollis (HQ High Quality)
