It’s no big deal- it’s just Wide Boy!

But he is super fab and groovy, and he struts and he crows!

When It’s Love - Van Halen

Now playing on MMM Brisbane

I only mentioned this as it’s a real “take me back” moment to nearly 30 years ago hearing this song on same station (then FM104) when on a family holiday up here in Surfers Paradise for Expo 88.

It’s times like these I would have liked to still have that FM104 Rocks T Shirt that I bought then with the kangaroo and the guitar. Oh well
