the Tommy Page Page

The guys lost the final round of the Battle of the Sexes competition on local radio station Z95.3, and because we were only down by one point, the only person to really blame is me.

However, while listening to the station at work, we were wondering who this artist Tomi Swick was, and all I could think of was the guy who sang a love song to Stephanie Tanner on Full House, when really he had just changed the words of the song from "Jennifer" to "Stephanie" (it has the same amount of syllables, you see).

After some very basic Googling, it became clear that Tommy Page was who I was thinking of, and he was actually a real singer. Not only that, he reached every major milestone that a late-eighties early-nineties pop star could ever want, including the guest spot on Full House: he opened for the New Kids on the Block's Step by Step tour, was interviewed by both Regis and Kathie Lee, featured on the covers of the country's finest teen magazines, got a song on the Dick Tracy soundtrack, had both a Christmas single and a duet with pop legend Tiffany, worked with Micheal Bolton, and was big in Japan. He also apparently jumped on the flashy flash-intro bandwagon of the year 2000, which is still visible on his official website.

I salute you, TP. Your legacy will always live on in our hearts and minds...
