The summer of 1980. I was preparing for my freshman year in high school (I know, I know...I'm showing my age. Ugh!), President Carter was fighting for his political life against Ted Kennedy on his left and Ronald Reagan on his right, and I was facing the harsh truth about my own sexuality.
My escape? As always, music. And 1980 was filled with some of the best.
Boz Scaggs' "Middle Man" album featured two superb singles that summer. They're both featured here as part of the Songs of Summer series...
"Jojo"
"Breakdown Dead Ahead"
