I was surprised and saddened to hear of the death of David Bowie this morning. He was 69 years old but a very young 69. He gave the world some amazing music and entertained millions over his legendary career. His performance of “Heroes” at Live Aid back in 1985 remains my favorite performance of his. Bowie was one of my sisters favorite performers. May we all be heroes today and remember the Man who Fell To Earth. Rest in peace Ziggy Stardust.
I am a fan of Arcade Fire and I really enjoyed their performance on Saturday Night Live a couple of years ago. Reflektor is one of my favorite songs of theirs.
To those fighting the good fight I give you Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers hit 1989 song “I Won’t Back Down” Written by Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty.
This skit comes from Saturday Night Live and it features a family at Thanksgiving who are having major disagreements but when the song “Hello” from Adele starts to play they are brought together for their love of the song and starts lip synching it.
I heard this song last night at the restaurant where we were having dinner and I was taken back to a great era in music. This song is smooth, soulful and very 1980’s British Pop (which I love).
The movie “The Wedding Singer” features this song as the last music you hear with Steve Buchemi singing.
Title song from the film That Thing You Do!, as performed by The Wonders.
This is one of my favorite Tom Hanks movies. Set in the era of early rock and roll this movie is stylish and fun.
