It’s an 80s Thing #21 – Famous “Dicks” and artists AKA …

After providing data for hundreds of Soundwaves 10@10 episodes, Intern Steve steps into the spotlight with a deep dive into All Things 80s. Almost every episode will be two parts … each half a distinctly different subject from its counterpart … seemingly unrelated pop culture and music topics that (more often than not) will have a connection!

Today we’re going to hear from an artist whose stage name translates as Pretty Voice, we’re going to hear from yet another artist who got her start on Kids Incorporated and we’re going to hear and we’ll hear from an artist who got his nickname because he thought he “rocked well.” LOSER. Today’s trivia question, we’re kicking off today’s set with one of my favorite 80s tunes ever, Kyrie, do you know what the Greek to English translation for Kýrie eléison means?
