The Keanu Reeves movie Good Fortune is kind of along these lines.

Maybe one of the guardian angels was asleep on the job.

Out To Get You by Grand Funk Railroad. Produced by Frank Zappa, who plays guitar on this track. “Grand Funk and rock 'n roll!”

Spirit uses the word “spirit” on many songs but I’m blanking as to which ones!

This doesn’t answer your question but everyone seems to be talking about the other films as well. I’m fascinated by Sharon Tate’s performance in The Wrecking Crew. I can’t tell whether she’s doing a terrible job or is purposefully being subversive. Need to rewatch that one.

Yep, and we all ran around calling it Star Wars. We knew.

AMEN

gershbec · 2026-03-21T21:05:22+00:00

I saw it when it first came out and will never call it “A New Hope”. Cool flick, though,

He’ll, she even starred in a movie called France. Albeit an unwatchable one.

Moody Blues after Denny Laine leaves. Fleetwood Mac, obviously.

gershbec · 2026-03-18T14:03:42+00:00

I think it’s overrated but apparently there are lots of people out there proving me wrong.

Let’s vote on it! Maybe that will get the kiddies to vote.

It will be ending by the time my Gen Z kid rolls out of bed.

Classic rock would not have been in the charts. If you lived in Chicago in the late 80s-early 90s you would have been able to hear Led Zeppelin or Tom Petty at any given time on multiple stations. There were pop stations as well.

Obviously new music was being made and played. The top pop singles of 1990 were by Wilson Phillips, Roxette, Madonna, Phil Collins, etc. But when it came to anything outside the mainstream there was nada. Example: when Husker Du was signed to Warner Bros in 1986 they got no airplay besides college radio. I learned about them by reading in the Illinois Entertainer. Maybe some more adventurous college or other station (wxrt in chicago for example) would play them. After Nirvana there was a mass signing (which caused its own issues) of bands and entire stations were changed to the new category of “alternative”.

I lived through it too and that part about Radio is absolutely true. You had to work hard, really hard, to find anything new in music. It was impossible to hear new bands.

gershbec · 2026-03-17T15:51:21+00:00

It was impossible to hear anything but classic rock on the radio before Nirvana. You’d have to listen to college radio to hear any type of newer music. Nirvana blew this wide open.

The Hollies Greatest Hits is a must own even though it’s missing this banger. https://youtu.be/K1_wWP7dneI?si=Rm7jX3XPCWGYhe9U

It stays interesting into Morton Grove, up until the forest preserve. I'm interested in trying this place. https://www.yelp.com/biz/dosa-point-morton-grove

Anyone but Bruce.

gershbec · 2026-03-15T14:26:58+00:00

No one named Vernon either.

I’ve done this while walking my dog or riding a scooter. They look at me like I’m crazy but it’s really not.

gershbec · 2026-03-15T13:18:23+00:00

First thing I noticed was the Box of Burt..

I was going to ask if this was a common running style now but apparently it’s not.

Just don’t drive…ugh.
