If there’s one song from the ’80s that describes exactly how we all feel about 2020, this is it. We had no idea how good we had it until concerts were taken away from us. Especially considering 2020 was about to become one of the best concert years in decades with so many ’80s bands going out on tour!

Yes please! Can I please turn back time to the ’80s and relive the decade one more time!

For those of us who were fortunate enough to be stuck in quarantine with our best friend, 2020’s quarantine wasn’t too bad being stuck inside with them…
The Police – ‘Don’t Stand So Close To Me’
Lookout now… keep your social distance and don’t stand so close to me!
Georgia Satellites – ‘Keep Your Hands To Yourself’

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – ‘Don’t Come Around Here No More’
Hey, hey
Don’t come around here no more
Don’t come around here no more
Whatever you’re looking for
Hey, don’t come around here no more
I’ve given up, stop
I’ve given up, stop
I’ve given up, stop, on waiting any longer…
