Here’s a fun game, courtesy of local rock historian David Enos:

It’s 1986.  You’re a 45 year old rock musician who is about to release a comeback album.  Your face is wrecked but your handlers picked out a new blazer and pair of jeans that will make you look more in step with the times.  Don’t forget to roll the sleeves up.  What do you call this album?

Find out here.

    I always wanted my debut album to be called “Greatest Hits: June 1981 – April 1983″

    How about, you are a guy in his mid 40′s about to release a record.

    Why is it a comeback?
