Yes, I agree Foreigner was very talented, and Lou Gramm was a great singer. However, I do have to say that he still is a great singer, and that comment you made about that he "ate the other band members" was pretty cheap. I mean, come on. Do you even have any idea what the guy has gone through? Do you? Probably not, because if you really knew, then as a human being, you would not be ripping on him. So I'll tell you what he went through. In April of 1997, he underwent surgery to remove a benign brain tumor. The radiation and medications he's taken as caused some weight gain. But I'm very happy to say that he's lost a lot of that weight, and he's lookin' great now. So before you start ripping on people, why not take a look into their story?

BOOGIE SHOES. This tune with a nice funky groove wasn't a huge Top 10 smash (it was originally the b-side of "Shake Your Booty") but it got a bit of new life from being featured in SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER and was re-released as a single in the spring of 1978 (reaching #35 on the Billboard Hot 100) and still gets quite a bit of airplay on Saturday night retro dance party shows.

I found the actual 12" record in my older brother's abandoned record collection and took with me back to college in 1998. It was an amazing novelty (picture angry 2am revelry after striking out at a party or bar) until I somehow managed to drop it on the ground and step on it/snap it in one fell swoop...I wouldn't say "somehow"...i was pretty loaded. Never again did I think I would recover that song. thanks! RE: way late on this, but I have a story about the Star Wars/Cantina Theme.

That You Tube clip with Olivia/ABBA/Andy was the best musical TV moment I've never seen. 2. If you guys ever cover the Star Wars/Cantina Theme in one of your sets, can I play the lasers and light sabers? I promise to dress like Meco for the performance. A couple of things:

And this was a great Chart Attack too. Jason, I haven't seen that many James Bond movies either. I don't think I've seen a single Sean Connery entry all the way through, which I realize is blasphemy. My brother used to rent the Roger Moore entries all the time when I was younger, so I'm most familiar with those. I do have a soft spot for 1989's "Licence to Kill," the least successful Bond movie, for some reason. The world was not kind to you, Timothy Dalton. Some say the best Bond movie is "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," featuring one-hit Bond wonder George Lazenby. I thought "The Groove Line" was "The Blue Line" for a long, long time. Now that I live in Chicago and the elevated-train system has a Blue Line, I'm very disappointed about the actual title of the song. Temperton wrote the synth-heavy score for 1986's "Running Scared," the movie that features "Sweet Freedom" and was shot in Chicago. I love all the comments this week.

Sure, Barry helped him out a lot, but Barry helped out a lot of people in the '70s. I have no problem with Andy Gibb.
