Old Enough to Forget

It was 1985 and sixteen year old wunderkind Charlie Sexton was making a run for the brass ring. It boggles my mind the level of maturity in his singing and playing that is here at such an early age. I was in my early 20s when this came out and was leaning toward what was going to be affectionately known as "hair metal" but I liked a lot of new wave, Bryan Adams and even Corey Hart (the last one more a guilty pleasure) and here's young Charlie already a seasoned player making it look easy. I remember hearing "Impressed" (written by Steve Krikorian, also known as Tonio K.) on the radio and thinking it was okay, but it didn't inspire me to run out and lay out my cash. I mean, I was buying a lot of stuff, but it's all relative. What you think is a lot, and what I think is a lot, aren't necessarily in the same ball park. We also didn't have MTV, we had Much Music, and while close, weren't the same. Although they both actually played videos all day...
