       Hello and how are you guys? I hope you all are good . I've had a good day. I played with my kiddo and did some diamond painting. Now I want to work on my blog some!

Title: Nothin But A Good Time Authors: Tom Beaujour & Richard Bienstock Genre: Non-fiction Pages: 535 Rating: 3.5 stars Synopsis: Hard rock in the 1980's was a hedonistic and often intensely creative wellspring of escapism that perfectly encapsulated- and maybe even helped define- a spectacularly over the top decade . Indeed, fist-pumping hits like Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It," Motley Crue's "Girls, Girls, Girls," and  Guns N' Roses "Welcome To The Ju...
