That was quite fun Mike.
Those first two songs both mention the balcony, a sheer pleasure that many folks my age and younger have never gotten to enjoy. I remember them because we had a couple of downtown theaters when I was young that had them. But, for the most part, they've disappeared from this area as I'm sure they have in many areas. You probably still have them in New York, so I'm sure you still get to enjoy them.
That 35mm Dreams song was really cool. I love the guitar playing.
I also really liked The Kinks Celluloid Heroes. And I thought that sounded like The Kinks. I may have gotten it mixed up with the previous song. One of the two mentioned, and I think the song was referring to the Hollywood Blvd. Walk of Fame or whatever it's called, said Valentino was looking up girls dresses. That cracked me up.
And what a great tribute to John Wayne. You know, he probably wouldn't make my list of top 10 all-time actors, but he would definitely make my short list for all time cool dudes (along with Steve McQueen). I don't remember all of the characters and which movie they were in, but I'm pretty sure Sgt. Striker was in The Sands Of Iwo Jima, which was also mentioned in the song. Is that correct? Anyway, great tribute.
I'd say that this is the type of show that display's your vast musical knowledge, because the only song here that I'd ever heard was the Marilyn Monroe tune. And, by the way, that's a compliment.
Hey Mike, Great theme! I have sone favorites fron movies as well.
Ive always thought that Adam Sandler's movies had great soudntracks (Wedding Singer, Grown Ups, etc...), even if the movie was so-so, the soundtracks were chock full of awesomeness. Heres a few other real strong soundtracks that come to mind...
Fast Times At Ridgement High
Breakfast Club
Caddyshack
OK, my mind went directly to soundtracks and you throw me a wrench right off the bat. Loved that Garland Jefferies track, never heard of it or him.
I think RJ and I have underestimated your love of The Kinks. They seem to show up in most of your shows. haha...
Marilyn Monroe is/was the sexiest woman that ever walked this earth. Just sayin'
Heres a few tracks that woudl fit in some future shows, since this is a game I like to play, we'll see if we get any hits... GREAT SHOW As usual!!!!
Superstar - The Carpenters
Right Before Your Eyes - America
Couple of long shots...
Hollywood - Boz Scaggs
Critics Choice - Chicago
I wonder if we'll get to the Drive-In soon....
There are no birthdays today
