    Back in 1987, I wrote a letter to this band telling them what I fan I was of their music. Not only did they send me an autographed photo of themselves, the singer, Valerie Day, handwrote me a letter of thanks. That was exciting to a 16 year old boy at that time

      I could listen to this song on repeat and not get tired of hearing it just like mostly all of the original freestyle before what they now call freestyle rap was ever a thing . IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER TO HAVE BEEN A TEEN AT THE COMING OUT OF THIS MUSIC . I WOULD OF LIVED IN A CLUB MOST IF NOT ALL OF MY TEEN YEARS IF THIS WAS WHAT THEY WERE ALL PLAYING THATS FOR SURE . COULDNT OF ROCKED THE AQUA NET TOWERS THEY MADE A HAIRSTYLE . NOT BCUZ OF THE LOOK , IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BECAUSE IVE NEVER HAD THAT MUCH HAIR ON MY HEAD LOL

    THANK YOU SO MUCH VALERIE..... We sang THIS SONG IN COMBAT nonstop. Especially at the part, "No turning back, it's much too late, to go back now would be a big mistake!" It was OUR good luck song, and I served 5 tours of duty. We ONLY lost one Marine, and I'm PROUD of that, especially with all the fire fights we endured. God rest his soul. I myself was wounded on my last tour, shot 7 times on my right side. I lost both hips and cannot walk normal, but I'm home safe and sound. I was well taken care of at Bethesda, 5 EAST, God bless those doctors and nurses. Again, THANK YOU VALERIE!!! Semper Fidelis, Captain T, U.S.M.C.

      @@derrickmoss8147 Drill Sergeant??? That's HARDCORE brother. I respect any DI or DS because you have to train those men and women to understand what Combat TRULY is. I was enlisted myself first. I didn't become an officer until I was a Corporal. I went in with a college education and just chose NOT to sign up for 6 years, which officer training was, and enlisted was 4. Four years is doable, but 6??? What if I hated this life. I wouldn't be getting out until I was almost 30 years old. My main years of career life would be over. I needed to be sure. Best move I ever made because the men that served with me, knew I was once in their shoes. Notice I didn't say UNDER ME because I always thought that was a Napoleon Complex, that you have to stress those men served under me, or they worked for me. NOOO, they work for the company and you just happen to be higher up on the food chain, that's all. I believed you GIVE RESPECT to those who serve with you and you get ten times back. I had WAYYYY more appreciation than any other officer. These men would have ran through a brick wall for me, and for that I'm honored. Many blessings brother, and I loved the Forrest Gump reference. Classic... Now you only have to say......JENNY!!!!

It’s hard to find good music and I do adore the music of the 80’s it’s fun exciting and vibrant I love it I felt as though it was apart of me .

      Yup. That seems true with most things. In the last half of the 20th century, every decade had a distinct identity. The differences in music, cars, clothes, and styles were vivid and unmistakable. It does seem like 2002 to 2022 has been one long era with only subtle changes in aesthetics. It’s like we’re stuck in the same time period, just with more advanced phones and meaner politics.

      That's a good question. I'm not sure about the technology back then but you definitely don't need to manually take all the individual pictures to give that stop-motion effect. You can record everything manually and then decrease the frames per second (fps) for certain scenes. About 5 frames per second gives that appearance.

    This song was on heavy rotation on LA’s Power 106 back before they switched formats and fired all the on-air talent including Jay Thomas.

      Its the best decade this Earth has ever experienced so far, the 90's is when things rolled downhill.
