19 Feb 2013: it's... 1982
« on: February 19, 2013, 08:34:24 AM »
"The year Christie Brinkley and valley girls ruled" sez Renee. Well, Zappa's "Valley Girl" charted in '82 but the movie Valley Girl came out in '83.

ETA: we just did '83 two weeks ago, so I guess that means '82 -- but then again this is Renee we're talking about.

OK, I suppose "Mexican Radio" came out (LP-wise) in '82 but I associate it with '83, which is when it charted, thanx to MTV.

"Jazz and conversation" will do that.  ;)

ABC with their debut hit, "The Look Of Love".

Renee is apparently not aware of this site.

BOS Victor/Victoria.  Almost watched this over the weekend (best thing about Oscar time is the quality of TCM movies prior to the show), but decided it was far less than necessary.  I love the movie, but have seen it plenty.  I should have tuned in at the end for Robert Preston's finale ...
