Open up your eyes
Stereo MC’s song “Connection”
You must be blind
If you can’t see
The gaping hole called reality.

She’s Warming Up And Ready To Go!
The queen of Christmas has come. Hallelujah.
The Music and Me
There is a constant mental jukebox running in my head. Music is a vital part of my life. I gain comfort, wisdom, and fun from it. Lyrics are great sources of quotable material. My life wouldn’t be the same without the melody, the moments, and the messages of tunes of all genres. I can say the world would be terrible if the music of life stopped. May the music keep on playing.
Quote Of The Day
And these children that you spit on
David Bowie from the song “Changes”
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They’re quite aware of what they’re goin’ through
Brats – The Story Of The “Brat Pack”
In the 1980s, a group of young actors collectively known as the “Brat Pack” starred in movies about the lives of young adults of the era. Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, and Mare Winningham were icons of my generation.
Andrew McCarthy made a documentary film that is streaming on Hulu about the “Brat Pack” called “Brats” where he did interviews with some members of the group and others who were adjacent and could speak to the events of the day. McCarthy does a great job of connecting the dots culturally and historically of this special era in the movies.
If you are a member of Generation X then you must see this movie. It will give you feels and remind you of a great time in entertainment and history. Andrew McCarthy did a great job on this. I also recommend it to anyone interested in cultural pop history.
