I once took a photo-sleeved 45 of Corey to a hair salon and said "Give me this haircut!" (the 45 was "It Ain't Enough", still my favorite Corey song! Yes, I still have it).
re: the HIT ME show... I awoke from a nap in time to see Arrested Development & Tiffany perform their old hits, but needed to go tan & work out so guilted myself out of the rest of the show. How was it? Who won?

Originally posted by knowjack: Well, speaking of "blasts from the past"--is anyone going to watch that NBC show "Hit Me Baby One More Time" Thursday night? Apparently it's American Idol-ish, but with former stars trying to win the chance for a comeback. Tiffany, Sophie B. Hawkins, Tommy Tutone, Wang Chung and a bunch of others. Apparently it was a show in the UK first? (Matthew?) I'm going to try to watch it, but it sounds a little sad! Sad is right. At least for Loverboy. So far that's all we've seen perform. I thought it was a joke and they were going to say that a fan was really singing instead of Mike Reno.

Words fail me. And I fully blame NBC. The production values sucked as if they intentionally were trying to do something cheesy. It could have been much better. Well, maybe if they had changed the acts too. This just about killed my 80s music kick.

Arrested Developement gave one of the few decent performances. They shoulda made it like Running Man where like, they have to sing for their lives. I bet you get much better performances then...

As evidenced by the links I've been dropping all over LW, I've been watching plenty of music videos on YouTube. This includes plenty of songs that I don't hear that frequently. There was one, though, that I don't think I've come across since the 80s: ZZ Top, Rough Boy

Well, thanks to Teeds I finally broke down and hit YouTube. I just watched Neil Young and Pearl Jam from the '93 VMAs tearing up "Rockin' In the Free World." I vividly remember seeing it live on air all those years ago - a transcendent moment of rock and roll. It made me feel 10 years younger and as though there's still some hope left for us all.

Just to show how old i am getting, Sundown, i think it is, by Gordon Lightfoot and "into the mystic" by Morrison...Van Morrison, that is.
Course, that was back when actual intruments were played instead of computers, dagnabit! And young whippersnappers didn't feel the need to show us their cracks with their pants down around their knees.
Damn young Hooligans...stay offa my porch!
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

anyone remember a few years back when Listerine had "Tarzan boy" by Baltimora in it's commercial? if i'm in my cab and it comes on the radio and if i don't have any passengers in there with me i crank the radio up and blast that sucker on high. but for me even though i'm also a child of the 80's nothing beats some old AM gold of the 70's, the 70's was a good time for music too, i listen to that almost all the time on internet radio, it brings back fuzzy warm memories when i hear such classics like Starland Vocal band's "After noon delight" and blue suade's "hooked on a feeling".

I'm watching "Legends & Lyrics" on public television, and Randy Owen of Alabama just played "Mountain Music." Earlier, he played "Tennessee River," and Kris Kristofferson played "Me and Bobby McGee."
I used to hate country & western, but time has mellowed me. These songs are relaxing and involving, just what I need to cap a day off.

Different moods for different dudes! Been cruising the old charts, and its bringing back sooooo many memories. Just found Rick's "Love Gun" for the first time in decades, lol. I'M RICK JAMES B!TCH! That just cracks me up. Some gal weighing in at 120lbs could throw him through a wall, but Rick had the macho goofball a$$hole thing workin', lol.

Just saw an advertisement for the Midnight Special of the 70's on DVD. Lots of crossgenre acts there, but still some really good old stuff. Every thing from Alan Parsons Project to Sly and the Family Stone.
Still, I can go on youtube and get most of that.
Still groovin' on the seventies funk tonight.

I'm old enough to remember when Rick James's "You and Me" was a hit. It was probably the first funk record I ever bought and, therefore, one of my first forays into the "adult" side of rock'n'roll. (This was the era of Heatwave and Wild Cherry, after all.)
Around the same time, Foxy had a funky hit called "Get Off," though its sexual innuendo went way past my innocent head.

"Who's that lady?" Isley Brothers.
Okay, I gotta say, going back and pulling up the old stuff I used to listen to..I listened to some of the best stuff and never realized it. Great selections on my grandads old jukebox. Feel like I'm a kid again, lots of old and lost memories coming back.

My son's high school marching band theme this year is "007-The Music of James Bond !"
I like the orchestration of "Live and Let Die."
It does have the redundant lyric though-"This crazy world in which we live in."
Long Live all them Legions!

Was also listening to Evanescence. That gal has an amazing voice. Was talking to my wife about it and she said she's left the band. So, being the curious fellow that I am, I tried to look it up and instead found some site with a bunch of goths and emo's going at it about whether she can sing or not.
I guess I'm really old. All that stuff just made me laugh. The goths hating her, the emo's loving her, and she's just smiling and headed to the bank.
Never did find out if she left the band.

The only info I could find on the subject is that she's currently writing songs for either a solo album or an Evanescence record. She's apparantly not sure yet.
The band itself isn't active at the moment, and given that she's the only original member left and the one running the show, she doesn't have to quit.
