I had eight newsy posts today, but I couldn’t work a musical segue into any of them, so I better do my DJ thing in a separate post.
This was from about the same time as Top Gun, and since Kenny Loggins had the most popular song from the TG soundtrack, and this song has lyrics that suggest being airborne, a lot of people assume that this song is also from TG. It is not — It’s really from Stallone’s worst movie, about how he drives a truck and has an estranged 12-year old son. At one point, he lets the kid drive his truck. But that’s about all I remember from Over the Top.
Speaking of TG:
Oh, the tales that guys now in their mid-40s could tell about joining the Air Force after seeing TG, who expected to fly MiGs, but wound up being medics, or sweeping tarmacs in July.
And now, her:
Yeah, they’re still pressing new releases on vinyl. Really, I think Adele’s schtick really lends itself to good virgin vinyl plus a new stylus plus a direct drive turntable plus quality amps plus quality speakers. You’ll really be able to feel the jilted lover. Unfortunately for her, as RJP said, her schtick won’t lend itself to a long sustained musical career.
