Cultural Facts: [19]

1. Coverboy Became Loverboy: Paul Dean spotted a CoverGirl makeup ad on the back of his wife's magazine and thought Coverboy would make a good band name. The next day he called Mike Reno and said he had dreamed it should be Loverboy instead. Reno said it might work if they didn't get beaten up the first week.
2. First Gig Opening for KISS: Loverboy's very first show was opening for KISS at Vancouver's Pacific Coliseum on November 19, 1979. Dean remembered getting pelted with rolls of toilet paper, and in the clubs that followed crowds threw combs, ice cubes and quarters while chanting for Aerosmith and AC/DC.
3. An Empty Beach on a Weekday: Dean got the idea for Working for the Weekend walking around Vancouver's Kitsilano Beach on a weekday and finding it almost deserted. He figured everyone was waiting for the weekend. Reno heard the riff and changed the title to Working for the Weekend.
