The bonus track is gonna live forever and learn how to fly.

Is anybody interested in the least in the Fame remake?  Couldn't imagine why.  Of course, LaSalle gave it a mostly positive review.

yeah it looks pretty awful, or at least unnecessary.  If "Fame" had been in the actual set, it would've been a bustout, no? Or a serious rarity.

I just a read a review of the movie that says that in this new version none of the students at the High School of Performing Arts are gay. WTF??  In real life that place is theater-queen CITY.

LOL!  I actually used to work down the street from what the HSoPA had evolved into in the 1980s (when they moved into new digs at Amsterdam and 64th). The kids always seemed cool, but I once had to deal with the faculty/admins -- my car was boxed in by double-parked vendors who were inside the school, and it took and HOUR to find a faculty member who would make an announcement on their PA system to find the perpetrators.  rather clueless bureaucrats.

Maybe they needed some warm up time before making a public announcement.  "She slits her sheets, her sheets she sits, upon the slitted sheet she sits." etc.

I used to work in Midtown near there.  Do you recall the Kosher pizzeria that was nearby?  I think it was across the street. Ate there a couple times...  Now dat's a spicy Motzah Ball!

I would concur. I'll give BOS to Sweet if for no other reason than I just randomly selected them for my next iPod loading.

As far as "Fame" goes - let's just say I don't plan on watching any version. But ironically I had a crush on Irene Cara for "Breakdance". Speaking of which, that's a 1984 song I'd love to hear on 10@10, but probably won't.

[Gazoo]

Sing with me:  "Star Wars, nothing but Star Wars.  If they should bar wars, where would we be?"

This gets BOS from me, for sheer ballsiness as a 10@10 selection.  I love the Cantina Band section.
