Throwback Thursday: Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi, Big Hair, and Our First Guest Ever!


Originally aired: December 1, 2016 on Return to the '80s


This Return to the ‘80s classic is one for the time capsule! Join
Paul and Robert as they welcome their very first guest—Scott
Compton, host of the now-retired but still legendary podcasts 80s
Mixtape Autoreverse and 80s Reboot Overdrive.


We kick things off with some 2016-era Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
talk (Scott was literally casting his ballot for Journey
mid-show!), reflect on the recent passing of TV icon Florence
Henderson, and then crank up the volume for a full track-by-track
breakdown of Bon Jovi’s breakout album Slippery When Wet. We also
share personal stories, memories tied to the music, and plenty of
laughs along the way.


Highlights include:




A nostalgic tribute to Florence Henderson




Hall of Fame debates: Journey, ELO, Yes, and yes... Pearl Jam




Track-by-track breakdown of Slippery When Wet




Stories behind the songs—including one that came full circle
in the wildest way
