"Open Your Eyes (Caught Up In The Rapture Remix)" - Bobby Caldwell.

Apart from the vocal tracks, I played everything you hear.

@Mommajo64221025 @X @elonmusk It’s amazing MAGA is called a cult and yet the most cultish actions are performed by the left.

Like them all gathering and flocking to a social media platform that would be more of an echo chamber to their ideology than a freer speech one.

A literal cult.

@steak_umm In the 70's, there was a big 50's revival craze ("American Graffiti", "Grease", "Happy Days", Sha Na Na).

In the 80's, 60's nostalgia was everywhere ("The Wonder Years”, The Big Chill", all the Vietnam War movies, "hey man, is that freedom rock??").

@steak_umm In the 90's, the 70's came back ("Dazed And Confused", "That 70's Show", "Boogie Nights", movies about disco & glam rock, P-Funk's comeback)

In the 1st decade of the 2000's, 80's drums & electro synths started dominating pop music again, plus the "yacht-rock" craze was born. (3)

@KeithOlbermann @MeidasTouch @RonFilipkowski She's probably rockin' the metal devil-horns; the tattoo sleeve backs up that assumption, I'd say.

@Elishabenabuya She's probably just rockin' the metal devil-horns; the tattoo sleeve backs up that assumption, I'd say.

@RiffTrax Whaddaya mean? That was a *good* Steve Martin impression.

Whether it *needed* to be done, well, we'll leave that to the philosophers.

In memory of Greg Kihn (R.I.P.), a look back at the hallucinatory B-grade horror movie that was the "Jeopardy" video. (This song was a JAM, too.)

@dril @jayweingarten Stealing the "brightness" joke is one thing, but stealing it from *Gallagher*... I dunno, man.
