Prince underwent the transformation from “rock star” to “media superstar” in 1984, with the release of Purple Rain, both as a movie and an album. This is the same year Michael Jackson wins a record eight Grammy Awards, and Ronald Reagan nearly runs the table in his re-election bid. Of several hit singles spawned by the Purple Rain, Mick and Jimbo discuss “Let’s Go Crazy.” We also take a look at the genesis of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time,” her #1 followup to “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” from her debut album She’s So Unusual. Finally, we dig into some “Ratt and Roll” with Ratt’s “Round and Round” because . . . well, just because. It was the Mickster’s graduation year, and it was part of the soundtrack of his life 🙂
