Random stupid things on your mind. Post them.

     Being lobotomized would help, because then that music would suddenly become enjoyable after we lose pesky things like good judgement,wits and taste.

      The song you referenced, "The Glory of Love" by Peter Cetera is atrocious...which explains why it was number one on the Billboard singles chart for the weeks of Aug 2 and Aug 9, 1986. It's also the theme to "Karate Kid 2"...which grossed over 100 million in the summer of '86.

          Proving yet again...the "good old days" weren't so good. 80's culture stinks.

There was a flash "game" on the internet in the early 2000s that had the song in its closing credits. Just a snippet, but enough that it got stuck in my head, so thoroughly and for so many days that I became nauseous and some kind of higher terror actually started to seep into my subconscious. And I'm not kidding at all.

The thought of that schmaltzy crap getting regular plays on the radio...

That song evokes horrible memories for me as well. Honest to God, the first time I heard it was as I was in total agony from a concussion I'd suffered the night before. It was Wednesday,June 18, 1986, the last day of school and I was sick as a dog in my mother's car as she took me to the doctor. That fuckin' song was on WBZ 1030 AM that very morning, squeezed between Whitney Houston's "The Greatest Love of All" and Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer". My head throbbed and I puked repeatedly...the concussion was bad,too.

I once knew someone who had been lobotomised. He had been confused and they gave him electroshock first ( a barbaric practice that should be banned ). After the lobotomy the man became a damned vegetable. And he had been a well known psychiatrist before he became mentally ill.

This is why I spent most of the 80's listening to the Beatles, the Jefferson Airplane, and the Doors.

A good way to go in that decade. The advent of the compact disc leading to a lot of discovery/rediscovery. Everything good got reissued.

Jesus. My condolences.

      Thanks, I barely made it. Unfortunately, the concussion did no damage to my auditory senses. I could have used it that morning(or summer, or decade)

I loved their song On the Loose back in the early '80s.  Still one of my favorites from back then.

They sound a little bit like Rush, but much less gay.

they sound 80s but they managed to be 80s without doing the overboard synth shit that usually causes 80s music to grate on me.

Their lead singer, Mike Sadler, circa 1980 had the gayest mustache in pomp rock. They weren't bad though...kinda like Pavlov's Dog or a Canadian Marillion.

"On the Loose" is the only song that survived after 1983...and it's usually between "Come Sail Away" and "Dust in the Wind" on bad classic rock stations. If anybody under 30 owns ONE of their cds(worldwide) I'd be shocked.

Hey, Eric Bloom had the gay stache and the big fro at the time, but it was the style and he looked cool.

And according to Richard Meltzer he was such a "coozehound" that he got crabs in his beard.

I don't know, I think I'd pass on road cooze.

          It was probably university cooze, supposedly the crabs in the beard occurring in the Soft White Underbelly pre-BOC days. I wouldn't want those "Cagey Cretins" on my chin, either.

Hmm. That's still pretty hardcore, given it was the late 60s.

I was reading an article the other day that says pubic lice are becoming an endangered species, at least in the West, due to all the pubic hair removal.  The lice have nowhere to live.

They're just holed up, waiting for the inevitable change in fashion, and the return of bountiful public hair, natural breasts and short basketball pants. Not that those are connected.

There is nothing more gross than the "bushy" male except for the "old" bushy male.. Ewww, creepy shivers!  Unless you're a man looking for a man where I believe it's a "thing."
