Random Tune for Tuesday 5/15/12

I'm dusting off an "occasional" series I haven't referenced since Sep 2010 (I love how searchable my blog is) and dusting off my small pile of 45's that I still own that represent the songs I really really loved from the mid-80's to find tonight's random tune -- something that goes with my somewhat defensively titled "Yeah I Got That on a 45 ... So What?".  Here's how "in the dark" I was at that time -- I heard the song on the radio before I heard it in the movie, and I had no idea that the lead singer had just left his group to go solo.  But I know I liked the song, just like I know I really liked the two duets he would go on to do (with Amy Grant and then with Cher), and just like how I know that it's tonight's designated random tune!

Random Tune for Tuesday 9/28/10

Digging through my small collection of 45s, I ran across another gem -- one that I couldn't quite believe was from 1984! One I probably heard in concert in Philly at the Spectrum on Sep 18, 1993 (thanks wikipedia for your exhaustive information supplied by super-fans and Jarrod for thinking that I could get them to say Happy Birthday to you from the stage if I wanted to)! One that spoke to the same question Rodney King asked some two dozen years later! "People are people so why should it be ... you and I should get along so awfully." We're all still waiting for common decency to surface in so many situations.

Random Tune for Tuesday 9/7/10

[Another new occasional series, called Yeah, I Got That on a 45 ... So What?]

With my move last weekend fresh in my mind, I had to go through some of the things I've collected as I become a novice hoarder. In my small stack of 45s (those are singles records for you in the I-generation) was the gem you'll find in the YouTube link below (how's that for a modern marriage of old tech and new, eh?). I'm not sure why I had the song since I've never seen the movie ... but I must have been attracted to the lyrics of: "Just once in his life, a man has his time ... and my time is now, I'm coming alive!"
