Tamara Walker "Didn't We Love"

Things we loved in the year 2000: young girls in skimpy clothing dancing on bars. In this case, it wasn't bar patrons, but rather bar staff donning leather pants and cowboy boots while dancing on the bar top of country bars all across America. Credit the movie, Coyote Ugly, for jump-starting the trend.

Michael Bolton - "Soul Provider"

TRUE or FALSE
1. "Soul Provider" by Michael Bolton sounds like it came right out of 1989.

2. Michael Bolton once asked me to shoot baskets with him.

ANSWERS:
1. True.  "Soul Provider" encapsulated the sound of Adult Contemporary radio from 1988-89.  You can almost picture yourself walking through a K-Mart while the song blasts through the loudspeaker.

2. True.  Bolton was a guest on a morning show I produced in 2002.  What I remember from that morning is that Michael was wearing leather pants and talked about how his hotel had a basketball court.  He added that I should check it out which I translated to "Michael Bolton definitely asked me to shoot some hoops."

George Michael - "Jesus To A Child"

A couple years before being arrested pleasuring myself in a park bathroom, George Michael scored a huge international hit with "Jesus To A Child".  The 1996 ballad clocked in just under seven minutes, and the video somehow featured neither Michael's butt nor leather pants.
