BOS #3 "Train in the Distance", from Heart & Bones.  The album that made Graceland possible.  Why doesn't KFOG play anything off of this, 10@10 or otherwise?

This Paul Simon song could have been an outtake from 1975.  I don't think I've ever heard it, but I recognized it as him well before his vocals started, which is odd.  Odder, I hear the cadence of the verses of "Sunday Will Never Be the Same" in the verses here.

I have, but only because of this wonderfully eclectic statiuon, KEZX, that existed in Seattle for about 2 1/2 years.

Because, sadly, it didn't sell very well.  Radio (Top 40, AOR and "alternative" alike) was busy aping MTV in 1983, and this LP was the antithesis of that.  So it's one of those forgotten albums.

This album had at least 3 very strong tracks, this one, the title track, and "Rene & Georgette Magritte with Their Dog after the War", a song Paul wrote about a photograph he saw with that heading.  Wonderful stuff.

Of course the album seriously underperformed, so Paul felt totally authorized to go in an entirely uncharted direction & thus Graceland.

that was another BOS, Jacqueline Bisset.

Every young boys dream came true for Andrew McCarthy in that movie!

Rob Lowe played her son, McCarthy's roommate.

Too bad she's not playing the original auf Deutsch version.  I like hearing him say, "Grusz mich meiner frau."
