As I mentioned a couple months ago, Debbie Gibson was a significant part of the late 1980s pop music experience of a lot of Generation Xers like me.  It doesn’t seem so long ago that the then-17-year-old Gibson was reaching the top 5 with her first four singles.  Yet, today, Debbie (who now goes by Deborah) Gibson, turns 40 years old.  Still performing, as her official Web site notes, Gibson will end a run in a Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy at MGM Foxwoods in Connecticut tomorrow.

Walking On A Thin Line is one of Huey Lewis and the News’ most underrated songs. This tune was originally released off the Sports album and received minor success. Thanks to Ray for inspiring this entry.
