The problem with early '80s music was that it was trying not to be disco but still sounding like disco.

I’m trying to think of something nice to write about the movie and song, but can’t. They do seem made for each other. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah. The early '80s were a weird time.

Didn’t think so at the time, but in hindsight…oh yes!

Polyester and platform shoes, yeah, it was weird. Something Jackie hit on is beyond debate, the end of live studio recording and vinyl. Now what we hear are the clocks in the music diluted by digital compression and polluted by marketing principles. Live music took a hit. Fortunately, it can't be cancelled.
