Howard Jones, Air Supply, Richard Marx, ELO headline Epcot Food and Wine fest

eat_to_the_beat.jpgEighties music AND food and booze from around the world in one place? Howard Jones said don't try to live your life in day, but if I was, I'm thinking the Epcot Food and Wine Festival this fall is the ideal spot. The lineup of bands and artists is top-heavy with some of our favorites from the '80s. Speaking of Hojo, my old friend is going to be there, performing Oct. 22-23.

Here's a full lineup of artists. Concerts are free with park admission. Free food and hooch? No chance.
