I'm sure there's tons, but these are the first to spring to mind:
Just Like Heaven - The Cure
I Wanna Dance with Somebody - Whitney Houston
Modern Love/Let's Dance - David Bowie (I can't choose between them!)

A worthy read for Van Halen fans.
And a funny little cosmic book/life story: I saw VH in March 1984. The following month I met and started going out with my boyfriend and we realized we both saw VH the same night. As of yesterday, we're together 40 years! Just strange that I decided to read this book now 💫

Time for a little sex, drugs, and rock n' roll after all that corporate drudgery of my last read 🤘🏼
I watched the film a few weeks ago and today I listened to the audiobook. Priscilla, now 80, narrates this memoir that was published in 1986. The film closely aligns with the book, which is rare. They met when she was 14, he was 24. It seems unthinkable to let your 14 yo daughter date a 24 yo man, (even if it was Elvis), especially in 1958. I learned a lot…

I recently watched the Priscilla film; it was amazing with great acting and all my favorite tunes from the 50s and 60s. At top right is the real wedding pic, bottom is the film. Connolly‘s bio of Elvis is comprehensive and well-written.

I started this yesterday on International Women‘s Day, which I thought was fitting. I‘ve always thought Ann‘s voice was awesome, and that both she and Nancy were badass! This was a great account of their career - the highs and lows, the sexism in the industry, and their sisterly bond.

I honestly didn‘t know a whole lot about Elvis before I read this and I thought it was really interesting to hear Priscilla‘s perspective about his life and their relationship. Lots of really interesting stories and I learned a lot about the king of rock.

Today‘s the day! On Feb 9, 1964 the Beatles performed on the Ed Sullivan Show, watched by 73 million viewers. I‘m celebrating the 60th anniversary with Beatles book bingo! Each square has a Beatles song title. You can fit a book to each square however you want to - be creative and just have fun with it. I‘ll give some examples ⬇️
