It's 1980 in Austin and you had no idea that Christopher Cross's song "Sailing" was about Lake Travis⛵️

LAKE TRAVIS, TX (@fox7austin)— When you think of the definitive yacht rock anthem, you probably picture the beaches of Malibu or the coast of Maui. But the ultimate masterpiece of the genre—Christopher Cross’s iconic, 5-time Grammy-winning hit "Sailing"—actually traces its roots straight to the choppy waters of Travis County. While Cross was born and raised in San Antonio, graduating from Alamo Heights High School, it wasn’t until he moved his musical ambitions up the road to Austin that the inspiration for his signature 1980 Billboard No. 1 single truly took shape during frequent trips across Lake Travis.
Cross has often noted that the classic track wasn’t written about an ocean getaway, but rather the genuine sense of escape he discovered in Travis County as he transitioned into adulthood. Reflecting on the local inspiration behind the legendary song, Cross shared: "It's about an older friend of mine who had a boat... and we would go out on Lake Travis. It was just a transition from being a kid to being an adult... just a very wonderful way to escape the transition of growing up." That peace he found on the lake ultimately became a song universally recognized as the absolute pinnacle of yacht rock.
This edited video includes shots of Lake Travis.

@NFLCharean I agree with Mother Football.. sort of.. for me, its Drew Pearson not having tearaway jersey in 1981 NFC Championship game. If he breaks free of the SF conerback, The Catch is just a footnote.

@clarencehilljr Im not saying he should be Roger and Emmitt.. just that he should be in the conversation, though I realize Mt. Rushmore only has room for four heads. Maybe its Drew/Roger is one head; Michael/Troy is another head. Then there is room for two more heads - Lilly and whomever.

Reporter is asking a question during Jerry Jones' presser. Jerry interrupts, points toward the front door of The Star and says, "The President is here to say hello." Five seconds later, Bill Clinton walks in. Jerry trips getting up to greet him, then they spoke, and The Star is a very surreal place.
