I'm wondering if Air Supply ever feels a bit bummed that they're now playing joints like The Torrance Civic Center? Or maybe, in a weird way, is it a step up from the Concerts in the Park circuit they've been floating around for the first part of the 21st century? Sure, some have back-stage laminates and champagne and intricate lighting and stage set-ups, but what's better than some Kettle Korn and Bounce Houses and a soulful take on "All Out of Love" for free? For free, I exclaim! (That's gratis, for those playing along at home).
Incidentally. Do you think A.S. still gets a vicarious thrill out of belting out gems like: "And I can make all the stadiums rock!"? Even if said stadiums are the Torrance Civic Center? Questions for the ages, I say.Now to the main point of this entry: In an effort to nurture my OCD and stay focused, I've resolved to listen to all my CD's in alphabetical order over the next few months. The goal is to provide thoughts, queries, new takes on old favorite songs, correlations between unlike objects such as Tom Jones' "Greatest Hits" and Slash's Snakepit's 1st three albums. (Don't think I own any of these, actually, but closer attention digging through the crates and bookcases may reveal differently),etc.
First up is, as luck would have it, NOT Air Supply. While I have it scratched and scorched somewhere on CD, it definitely no longer has a plastic case and it has not been alphabetized.The first "real" entry will cover AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds" and Air (that trendyish 90's band Beck championed), All Night Radio, and today's favorite Anthrax."Don't you know I'm the man. I'm bad. I'm so bad I belong in detention" Indeed.
