Man, this makes me feel old. I remember when it was released I was in 1st grade and begged for the LP which we bought at Record Bar (remember that place??
I think it still holds up as an incredible compilation of some of the best talent of all time in one of the best songs of all time.
Thirty Years. Wow.

Posted: 1/27/15 at 4:51amTo this day, I can't hear the song without wanting to label all of the artists. When I am alone in the car, I give many a name drop.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!
