| 29066 | What song are you listening to? | Here's an old 80's tune that seems to be gaining a second life for reasons I don't fully understand. This is what makes the online world so fascinating to me, I can't predict what stuff from the past will catch attention decades into the future but I love the way old 80's tunes bring out everyone's creative side.<div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jim Capaldi</span> was a British rocker that fell hard for the techno-electronic sounds of the early 80's and he was a driving force for doing away with actual musical instruments altogether - with mixed results. Jim teamed up with his friends Steve Winwood and his band to create a little song that caught my ear during the rise of video games for the home gamer fans.</div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div> <img src="https://ytimg.googleusercontent.com/vi/FTAo48a6xaE/mqdefault.jpg"> <div><span style="font-weight: normal;">I have to admit, "</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">That's Love</span>" doesn't sound like much after a casual listen, but something about this song kinda stands out. Anyway, guys are starting to pick-up on this old tune to play around with a few ideas. </div><div>Stay Tuned!</div><div><br></div> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P7v_S94a8ow" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> | eddstarr | Feb 16, 2016 |  |
| 29065 | The Café | My only complaint, where's the fun?<div><br></div><div>Why does everything have to be a pumped-up, testosterone high? Is it possible to make a movie without "ass-kicking" everything?</div><div><br></div><div>Right from the first animated series, TMNT was all about fun. I'm still lovin' the original cartoon with it's rough draw style and silly plots, lol.</div><div><br></div><div>Or maybe I'm just old.</div> | eddstarr | Feb 16, 2016 | |
| 29064 | Sitcoms | By the way you set the question I'm thinking about TV shows that took me out of my everyday self and drew me into the characters world. My favorite British comedies did that and I'd like to talk up one in particular.<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div> <img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/28/5a/30/285a30aac98c6d845c6618a5fef060b7.jpg"> <div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">In the UK it was called, "The Good Neighbors", in the USA it went by, "The Good Life". <span style="font-size: 10pt;">I know you guys remember it, and this show really struck a chord with me. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Credit to Richard Briers and Felicity Kendal, they were magic together on screen.

He talks his wife, Barbara, (Felicity Kendal), into giving up the so-called "middle-class rat race" and take up a life of simplicity and self-sufficiency. </span></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></span></div> <img src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/images/episode/b00wyhth_640_360.jpg"> <div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">They convert their suburban home into a farm, planting crops in the back garden and bringing in pigs and chickens (including a rooster they name Lenin).

So Mr. Bay gets a golf clap from me for that much.<br> | Vaporman87 | Feb 16, 2016 | |
| 29061 | Sitcoms | Cheers, Night Court, WKRP in Cincinnati, Three's Company, and a few more. These could typically make me forget my troubles for a bit. <br> | Vaporman87 | Feb 16, 2016 | |
