Air Supply Bringing Yacht Rock to the Hard Rock, Atlantic City

Ever since they started calling songs like “Your Song” by Elton John, “Biggest Part of Me” by Ambrosia, or “Just The Way You Are” by Billy Joel ‘yacht rock’ I feel stupid for liking it. As if I’m supposed to be wearing a white captain’s hat and holding a Mai Tai.

I mean, hey man, “Whole Lotta Love” by Zeppelin? “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by GNR? Absolutely! But there’s a side of me that also can mellow out with soft rock. Then they had to get cute with the name. Now I feel like I did at 13 when my cooler stoner classic rock friends would drop by and I literally would hide my James Taylor album. No, really, stupidly, I did that.

Well, we’re adults now. With all life’s stresses, there’s nothing to apologize for liking some mellower music. And if you agree, you might want to know the 80s group Air Supply is coming to Atlantic City’s Hard Rock.

Did Anyone Watch These TV Shows in the 1980s and 1990s?

While you might think “watching while distracted” is a modern habit, even back in the day the TV was just… there, humming along while you did other things. These were the shows that weren’t exactly “must-see TV,” more like “might-see TV” — part of the culture, but you had to wonder: who was actually watching?
