On That Note: Boys to Men

[IsUaClone2]

I think you're first for "Honky Tonk Man."

"Man on the Moon" is in @MeanDean's initial post.

I'm learning that if a post includes just the link and, therefore, has no text; the search engine is useless.

Although I have a pretty good memory, my recall-capabilities are significantly deficient. I sense continuing problems so I'll just apologize in advance and promise to vacate any awards I've been given for any duplicative posts.

I don't think any of these have been posted. If so, I hope to be forgiven since it's already 12 pages.

Just realized, I almost forgot about Sylvia.

Apparently, lyrics/storyline was inspired by an actual crime/shooting case, but for the life of me, I can’t find the details.

Storyline is maudlin (although heart is in a good place). Not sure which AM station it was, at the time, but it was hourly, heavy rotation for about 3 months straight.

Just realized, I almost forgot about Sylvia.

Sylvia was an absolute favorite of mine in the 80s (second only to Babs Mandrell). My dad loved her, too. We went to see her in Hilton when she was touring with some rodeo, probably around 1983. That was the only time I got to see her perform in person.

Fun facts about Sylvia: she won the 1983 Female Vocalist of the Year from the Academy of Country Music while never having received a single nomination from the CMAs. Also, her mega-hit "Nobody" won the BMI Song of the Year for 1982, being the most-played song at country radio.
