    CW: "You got it all" - The Jets

    Our continental road trip #AprilAcrossAmerica is in #Minnesota.

    This side of the pond, we had Five Star. That side had #TheJets, eight members of the Wolfgramm family from Minneapolis.

    You'll remember their big hit "Crush on you" from early 87. The follow-up "You've got it all" is a lovely ballad - later covered by Britney Spears.

    The Jets are still performing on the nostalgia circuit, natch.

    CW: "The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades" - Timbuk3

    #AprilAcrossAmerica does #Wisconsin.

    Remember #Timbuk3? Pat and Barbara MacDonald recorded for six years, and had exactly one moment of cool. Early 1987 had "The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades", an anti-nuclear anthem disguised as optimism for the future.

    Make that two moments of cool - they turned down a million dollars to advertise sunglasses.
