Mastering the knack of my Sharona

Unbelievable. I tried to use a different word but I kept coming back to this one. Caught bits and pieces of a show that was basically regurgitating one hit wonders by bringing them in front of an audience where they sang their hit.
The had groups from the 70s - The Knack; the 80's - The Motels and Tommy Tutone; the 90s - Vanilla Ice and Haddaway.
In the second half they returned to the stage to sing a cover of a current hit of their choice. I think that's how it worked.
Now, I will admit I was a fan of these songs and in the case of The Motels, I still listen to their music and I do not think they are a one hit wonder.

A thought occurred to me. Wouldn't life be grand if we all could revisit a high point in our lives, a time when we were at a the peak of our success? Why does celebrity afford second chances, express sentencing (think Russell Crowe) and even reality TV shows to spice up a floundering career (insert your favourte one here).

I wouldn't mind the opportunity to go back in time either. I could apply for that job I didn't, take that bartenders course that I didn't or stick with school when I didn't or take one step forward when I didn't; lots of didn'ts in my past.
And hindsight makes the mind grow wiser but the grow fonder and suddenly, I'm 10, 15 or 20 again, doing the same things I did the first time around.
