2022-11-18 Part 1

Part 1 of 2022-11-18 has a theme from the Life Moves Pretty Fast - The John Hughes Mixtapes box set that was released last week.  The basis of the set is the songs from the soundtracks of his movies that were a staple of my high school years in the 80s and many others who loved his films.  For those that don't recognize the name John Hughes, I am sure you will recognize the movies I will list below under the music player.

Setlist:
1. Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget about Me) - 1985 The Breakfast Club
2. Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark - If You Leave - 1986 Pretty in Pink
3. Oingo Boingo - Weird Science - 1985 Weird Science
4. Psychedelic Furs - Pretty in Pink - 1986 Pretty in Pink
5. Flesh for Lulu - I Go Crazy - 1987 Some Kind of Wonderful
