@lawrence, LOL! I guess Swayze really wanted to say happy birthday to you! Actually it was that opening with Swayze that drew me into the video. Then I got this flash of you dancing with Buddy. How wonderful that you knew him. I always loved Swayze's spirit and talent.
Hahahahaha. I can still remember the first time I heard Pat Boone's "late mid-life crisis" toon. Just your words Pat Boone and Heavy Metal brought that interesting experience into my paradoxical fit of anything but classic enjoyment moments today!
Had to admire his self-confidence if not bravado for trying something new! Just a very different kind of great turning! So was it ever on vinyl and if so what was on the flip side?

@saibh Wow, I haven't thought of that song in years and I used to have a cassette tape of that "They Might Be Giants" album. How incredibly appropriate for the times.
First up on my Pandora feed this morning:
"Age of Man" by Greta Van Fleet (2018)
In an age of darkness light appears
And it wards away the ancient fears
March to the anthem of the heart
To a brand new day, a brand new start
Many of us here will relate to this new song by Stevie Nicks.
Seriously. It could have been written by any number of us.
Below is an article about the song and a link to watch it. It is the video with the image of JFK.
Thank you so much for sharing that video. Stevie Nicks is my favorite and I have had her music on my mind lately. Love the new song.
@jeanne-mayell, that's so great! Did you see that I posted this identical Footloose video to Lawrence about two weeks ago, to celebrate his birthday? I just love it and never get tired of watching it.
Tonight on MSNBC at 10 PMET: "As I See It", which catalogues the Obama presidency through the lens of White House photographer Pete Souza. I purchased Souza's book 3 years ago -- really beautiful photographs.
If anyone wants to send some light and strength to Dem Bums for tomorrow's game against the Braves, it would be appreciated! ?
Pete Souza, the Obama White House Photographer has a fantastic Documentary out call The Way I See It. It is fantastic.
I cried. Multiple times. Watch It. I saw it on MSNBC, not sure where else you can view it.
I miss Obama. a lot.
@lovendures. Thanks for sharing the Stevie Nicks video and article. LOVED it. I also watched the Pete Souza piece last night. LOVED it. Such grace in the White House. It’s coming back. All of it. ❤️
i highly recommend both as well.
