I am still shaking my head over learning that Peter Wolf not only wrote the putrid ‘We Built This City’- but he also wrote the follow up which also went to #1 ‘Sara.’ I can’t really believe that either of those singles were hits let along #1 hits. Maybe it was the times. The quality of the #1 hits really took a nose dive in 1985 and looking at 1986 it hasn’t gotten any better. In the UK they got this one right- peaked at #66.
