Random Tune for Tuesday 5/12/15

I am prepared to defend any accusations made that what I am about to do is "lazy micro-blogging", but I'll be damned if what I said in my post on Mar 18, 2014 doesn't deserve to be reprinted verbatim (with an adjustment).  First, the verbatim part:

"You must start watching the Goldbergs on ABC, particularly if you have any part of your personal development that occurred in the eighties.

Not only do you get quality acting (across the board ... even/especially the young 'uns on the show ... not to mention the inimitable [Wendi McLendon-Covey]), but you get the best use of snippets of song on a weekly television program since Scrubs (and I'm even including that odd AfterScrubs concept year).  My only hope is that they will follow in the steps of Scrubs and release a soundtrack or two each season, because they are picking the best parts of the eighties to feature in every episode, and I can't help but smile every time I hear the opening chords of whatever tune they've worked into the plot.

Like, for instance .."

Now here comes the "adjustment" part (actually, the *second* adjustment, if you count how I corrected the previous misspelling of Wendi McLendon-Covey's name).  The last time, I was featuring the usage of a certain Mister Mister tune ... today, it's the John Hiatt classic instead that brought a tear or two to my eyes when it was woven into the plot recently.

Oh yeah ... and release the damn Goldbergs soundtrack already!
