Guilty Pleasures #7 and 6: Debbie Gibson Out of the Blue and Electric Youth



The absolute height of cheesy 80's pop. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Had the posters and everything. Only one person possibly had a bigger crush on this girl and it was Tony Amato, younger brother of my buddy Anna Marie Amato. He is now Clubhouse Manager for my beloved and currently slightly inept Cleveland Indians. I recently talked to him down in the dugout at Comerica Park here in Detroit. Anyhow, back around 88 or so myself and 3 other guys Greg Sech, Tony, and my good buddy Donn Prokopius road tripped from Parma, OH to then Pine Knob in Detroit to catch her then hot act, in my parents old Toyota Minivan with a CB radio, so I guess you can imagine what a bunch of teenagers with a CB on the turnpike would be acting like.
