![]() Liberian President William R. Tolbert Is Killed in Military Coup (1980)Liberia was founded in the 1820s by former slaves from the US, and tensions between the Americo-Liberian minority and the indigenous majority have persisted since that time. On April 12, 1980, a group of soldiers led by Samuel Kanyon Doe stormed the executive mansion, killing Americo-Liberian President William R. Tolbert and 27 other government leaders. Doe, a member of the ethnic Krahn tribe, then declared himself president. How had a rice scandal seriously undermined Tolbert? More... Discuss |

I really like Hall & Oats, although Rich Girl is not my favorite song of theirs. I like their more soulful slower stuff more.
Private Eyes was the Eagle Rock YT channel's featured song a few days ago, but I didn't care for that one, so I looked through some of the rest and chose this one.
I think my main objection is that,when they had a hit song, it was just played WAY too much on the radio. I know, I know, interest breeds exposure, but there are limits and it wasn't just this song, but radio practically ruined theirs and other songs, like the Eagles and Hotel California, many others. (We Are the World had its anniversary not long ago, that was one that was played too much)
Thanks for the comment!
I loved the song Maneater , and a few of the others i heard in the 80's from them , I guess you are right Mike sometimes the radio does seem to play same songs constantly and i guess there would be very few and far between that i could list as not getting fed up of fast , one that comes to my mind is the Philip Philips song 'Home' I loved that one ,but sure after maybe almost one hundred times a week being played on the radio it started to become tiring to hear it .
I was thinking of other songs that were played too much and another that came to mine was Manfred Mann's "Blinded by the Light". I liked Peter Frampton, but his "Show Me the Way" was also done to death back then, too, esp. for the novelty of him making his guitar "talk".
Thanks f/ the comment, Alison.
