The Pompano Beach Amp is proud to announce their first concert of 2017. Eddie Money and Starship featuring Mickey Thomas will kick off the New Year with a rockin’ double headliner show. The concert will have fans singing all night long as both Eddie and Mickey crank out decades of hits.

Eddie Money burst onto the scene with his double-platinum album on Columbia Records in 1977 spawning the two hits “Baby Hold On” and “Two Tickets to Paradise.” Legendary rock impresario Bill Graham raved, “Eddie has it all…not only can he sing, write, and play; he’s a natural performer.”

Over the course of his storied career, Money sold over 28 million records and amassed over 20 hits with overwhelming success at both Pop and Rock radio including “Shakin’,” “I Think I’m in Love,” “I Wanna Go Back,” “We Should Be Sleeping,” “Walk On Water,” “I’ll Get By,” and his legendary hit with Ronnie Spector, “Take Me Home Tonight”. Money’s songs have appeared in dozens of movies including, television shows and hit video games including “Mall Cop”, the infamous Geico commercial, “Grand Theft Auto”, and “Guitar Hero”.

Mickey Thomas is the owner of the soaring voice that propelled Starship through the decades of the 80’s and 90’s. With his soulful and compelling vocals, Mickey has established himself as one of rock music’s most recognizable stars. Mickey made his mark in 1976 as lead vocalist on the mega-hit “Fooled Around and Fell in Love” with The Elvin Bishop Band.

In 1979, Mickey’s joined Jefferson Starship and his powerful vocals brought a new wave of success. The group was renamed Starship and had an amazing string of hits including “No Way Out,” “We Built This City,” “Sara,” and an Oscar nomination for the #1 hit “Nothing Gonna Stop Us Now,” from the movie Mannequin. Other top hits included “Find Your Way Back,” “Stranger,” “Laying It On the Line” and “It’s Not Over Till It’s Over” which became Major League Baseball’s theme in 1987. Moreover, every Starship album released since 1979 has gone Gold, Platinum, or Multi-Platinum. Mickey’s stellar voice and video charisma on Starship’s video classics have become staples on MTV and VH1. Material covered in Starship’s live performance ranges from Mickey’s tenure with The Elvin Bishop Band and Starship, as well as songs from his two solo albums.

One Comment to “Pre Sale- Eddie Murphy & Starship Featuring Mickey Thomas (Pompano Amphitheater- Pompano Beach)”

***** John The Baker, 2116 North Flamingo Road, Pembroke Pines, Florida 33028, (954) 252-0091.

Got a good story to tell you guys…

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have been eating- at John The Baker since 1996, but amazingly, Jeff Eats has never mentioned the joint to you! Why? I don’t know!

Anyway,

John The Baker is the consummate mom & pop red sauce Italian joint! If red sauce is “involved” John The Baker- got it!

Like I just said, the consummate mom & pop red sauce Italian joint- which incidentally makes absolutely delicious reasonably priced pizzas, pastas, subs, salads, meat/chicken entrees, other Italian stuff and totally off the chart amazing garlic rolls!

Jeff Eats has never actually counted the number of John The Baker dinners that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have done – but I’m gonna take a shot and guess at least 47 with last night’s being the latest!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats love this joint and I apologize for not having mentioned it sooner!

You can check menu/prices/info at johnthebaker.net.

John The Baker is open Sunday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-11pm.

* Tonight’s Vice Presidental Debate!

Jeff Eats is ready to watch at home…

And, just in case the combination of the candidates/and Jeff Eats’ new My Pillow doesn’t have me in Rem Dreamland- for a nosh…2 portions of Scruby’s BBQ’s-Deluxe Potato Skins (crispy skins with cheese, bacon, sour cream, loaded with pulled pork- $7.99 each).

Posted on November 18th, 2010
***** Scruby’s BBQ, 8990 West State Road 84, Davie, Florida 33324, (954) 370-2774.

Scruby’s is a… really good-casual-reasonably priced “bbq chain”…there are currently- 3 locations, Davie, Pembroke Pines and Tamarac, Florida. You can check menu/prices/locations at www.scrubys.com. This writeup “concerns” the Davie joint. Based on the website, we are going to assume that all 3 restaurants have the same menu/prices and faux-old cowboy western decor. Just for the record, over the years, I must have driven by the Tamarac joint 22,000 times and never stopped.

Anyway…last week, I finally got around to trying Scruby’s Davie store. Based on an “outing” of a full rack of babybacks ($14.99), sliced bbq pork sandwich ($5.19), fried corn nuggets ($4.99), brunswick stew ($3.99)–I should have stopped years ago. Simply put — some of the best bbq that I’ve had in a very long time. The stuff is “first” lightly smoked and then grilled with a delicious sweet sauce…As you may or may not know, I am NOT a fan of heavily smoked bbq. Scruby’s smokes, but then grills in a dynamite sweet sauce. Best way to describe the bbq stuff, “real good” Tony Roma’s and Bobby Rubino’s.

Scruby’s menu has all kinds of “specials” and “deals”…super pleasant service, big portions, and delicious food. Absolutely nothing to complain about!

Scruby’s is open Monday-Thursday 11am-9:30pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-10pm, Sunday 5:30pm-9pm

***** Walmart Great Value Lemon Drops.

Recently came across -this $.98 7oz bag of Walmart Great Value Lemon Drops in where else- Walmart and I gotta tell that these hard candy lemon drops are absolutely delicious. The way Jeff Eats sees it, with 3 of these suckers weighing in at just 50 calories, I can suck away all day long and not end up looking like a house!

So- if you suck like Jeff Eats does, then I highly recommend that you checkout these lemons drops which have a fresh-clean-real natural lemon taste!

* NATIONAL TACO DAY- October 4th 2016!

Just curious, who thinks up this “National ______Day” crap in the first place?

Rather than National Taco Day, or National Pizza Day, or National Hot Dog Day- Jeff Eats thinks it would just be easier – every-day to have…

“NATIONAL YOU FILL IN THE BLANK DAY”

Thanks,

Starting with the premise that Jeff Eats has never met a chocolate babka that he didn’t like…I gotta tell you, that Bruce’s chocolate babka absolutely kills it! You guys know, that I don’t like pecking orders, but this babka is definitely one of the best that I’ve had down here in sunny South Florida.

***** Donut Gallery Diner.

First told you guys about Donut Gallery Diner on 11/21/08.

Let’s cut to the chase- until yesterday morning, Jeff Eats hadn’t been back since that tale- first appeared!

Long story short, Jeff Eats did- “one of these” with some black coffee and a large glass of fresh squeezed orange juice!

No ifs, ands or buts- Donut Gallery Diner is an absolute must try!

One final thing, Cash Only!

Donut Gallery Restaurant (Key Biscayne)
Posted on November 21st, 2008 · American Breakfast Key Biscayne

***** Donut Gallery Restaurant, 83 Harbor Drive, Key Biscayne, Florida 33149 (305) 361-9985.

This is a real simple one.

Donut Gallery has been around for 35 years. Donut Gallery has a counter and 24-stools to sit at. Donut Gallery doesn’t have donuts. Donut Gallery is a great “hole in the wall” breakfast/lunch joint which is open 7-days a week 5:30am-3pm. Donut Gallery’s “house special” is a toasted buttered English muffin topped with bacon, ham, American cheese, egg and tomato…that is not to be missed.

You can check menu/prices/info at donutgallery.com.

Donut Gallery is my kind of joint! It does have one fault it’s- Cash Only!
