So, what have you been listening to lately?

This popped up in my YT recommended videos today, no idea why. Recent, uploaded 3/29. Audio quality could be better.

She's looking pretty good for her years.

She's obviously not living in poverty either, all 5 ft 2 in of her!  That is why Prince probably offered her the song, being taller than a woman (even if only by a bit more than an inch) was a celebratory occurrence for him.

Here she is back in 1991.

You would imagine that a band with a name like The Bangles would feel entirely comfortable with the subject matter of the ole' Bad Co chestnut. 

Their version is nice - and this being '91, gone were the pretty colorful dresses of yore and Kurt Cobain's wardrobe held court. As a lot of bands did around then.

[westen44]

That reminds me.  I received a Bad Company CD by mistake on an order mix-up years ago.

I just ran across this.  A Bangles video with Leonard Nimoy.  Wikipedia said the Hoffs and Nimoy families were friends. 

Live long and prosper.

I couldn't hear the music for all the shoulder pads however much I spiked my ears! They must have weighed the poor girls down quite a bit. (The shoulder pads of vulcanized material, not the pointy ears.)

I was hoping for Leonard to join in. Unlike some of his military superiors, the man could actually sing. Fascinating.

He's not well - some incurable degenerative muscle disease called myositis. The vid is pretty darn moving.

I liked Frampton's version of that.

Of course Len could sing! Who could forget this hard rockin' number?

I wasn't doubting that! I have a full CD with stuff of his better than what you just posted.



I was speaking of the other guy, who always rocked in his armchair when the Klingon death rays hit the USS Enterprise.

Leonard didn't hit every note, bit Lee Marvin'ish in places, but he was overall fine.

Brought to you from the man who refused to die.



Did you ever see their documentary, Herr Westheimer?

Herr Shatner always had an exquisite taste in guitarists.





All threads lead to the inevitable.
