[@janvanderstraaten7499]

It happened last week. My mother was in the nursery home in the Netherlands, she is 90 years old and in the last days of her life. My wife and me were in the car, coming from Denmark on our way to the Netherlands, to make sure to be in time before she passed away. When we were half an hour on the road, we got a phone call from the nursery home, that my mother just passed away. We did not make it and were too late. I pulled the car aside on a parking lot, and just when we stopped, the Simple Minds - Alive and kicking was played on the Danish radio. Just on the exact moment that we heard that my mam passed away. My wife and and me hugged each other and bursted in tears. I miss you mam, R.I.P., be alive and kicking in heaven.

I'll be 60 years old this year. I've lived almost six decades and yet, the best music still came from the 80's. And there's not just one powerhouse group. There were dozens and dozens. Simple Minds may have been just one of many but they were never just Simple Minds. Their music rocked stadiums, night clubs, and many private parties in the Air Force dorms. We had the best music, the best clothes, and the biggest hair. Never been another decade like it. Never will be.

Simple Minds - quietly one of the best bands of the 80's era. You just don't realize how big this band was until you start listening to all the hit songs from this time frame. I am on of their biggest fans - graduating HS is 1987 - I still have printed on my checks "ALIVE AND KICKING"........and will never change that!!!!

[@Meowbay]

from '66 too? I am. I too write "alive & kickin'" here or there every now and then ;-) I agree, it's in hindsight that you realize how good much of the 80s music really was. Amazing. Nothing like it.

[@saraswatisky3119]

I graduated in 1987, too. But, I wasn't a fan. I was more into U2, Madonna The Cure, Susie and the Bianchi, Duran Duran. I heard this song a lot, but it didn't stick. I guess, I was more into pop. INXS. I loved them and The Violet Fams.
