These were the soundtracks to my small town boy life in Nova Scotia. There was only hockey and music that held your interest. Reckless was a classic, hard riffs, power ballads that were bearable, melancholy statements on the passing of youth, Summer of 69 and all, a younger Canadian version of Bruce Springsteen, he doesn't make music like this anymore. Then there was Corey Hart, more of a crooner, who also was capable of hard hitting anthems, complete with cheesy, screeching metal guitar. He had already slipped into the world's consciousness two years previous with that sacred hymm to designer eyewear, namely Sunglasses at night, providing countless aloof teenagers the pleasure of stumbling into buildings, people etc. because they were sporting those damned shades. Then there was the hair, the denim, and that cooler than though non smiling pout. I am embarrased to say that there are several junior high pictures of me with a spiky coif and a smile nowhere to be found. Ah, wasted youth. While across the pond much cooler artists with substance like the Replacements, Smiths, New Order, Jesus abd Mary Chain, EATB, Killing Joke etc were in their prime, I was absorbed with looking like a teen idol. I didn't realise until much later that his "look" was just a watered down safer version of the punk look, in which a certain Sex Pistols record reexamined my beliefs "ever get the feeling you've been cheated"? As for the music, it veered from tough posturing to moments of sensitive reflection. Turns out that the title track Boy in the Box was the dinkiest and most dated sounding of the lot. Never surrender, everything in my heart, and Eurasian eyes got all the girls misty eyed, while the hard hitting Comrade Kiev was brimming with cold war angst. Looking back on it now, the album isn't a classic, but more like one big guilty pleasure, he had a good crooning voice in which spawned imitation that could make you laugh, one of those records you admit is cheese, but you ask yourself why am I humming these songs?
