a good time to remember an incredible franchise actually destroyed by Disney with their stupid wokeism. Just a memory now. Thanks Paul

lol … if you think Disney turned the Star Wars franchise into “wokism” (a term only dumb Republicans use), you should watch the first 3 original movies again!!! George Lucas made it very clear that the Empire represents the Republican party (and nationalist equivalents in other countries) … May the force be with you, my friend, and fill your heart with love and peace!

Guys, BTG is an awesome place run by an awesome DJ.

So maybe leave the politics, over-generalizations and political misrepresentations somewhere else?

Oh be still my heart! You Paul are a God!! This is it, the song I remember all those years ago!! I do remember this record and it did get airplay on 92 WKTU in New York!! Gosh, I love this song!! Sadly, I missed out buying it at Sam Goody!! Went back and it was gone. Thanks so much Paul for bringing a “cult classic” of mine back from my memories!! This song kicks butt!! So great that John Williams’ son can sing!! Love the rarities you pull out for us!! You Rock!!!

Evidently from 1986 to 1988, 2010 to 2019 and again since 2020! 🤯 I live me some Toto, how did I miss this little factoid! I have almost everything they’ve done!

Wow, Paul! That was indeed a surprise! And contributing to the “Goonies” soundtrack (Thank you, Retro Hound!!)! Love this place so much for the interesting factoids! Maybe, just maybe, renewed interest (because of you) might re-introduce this to the masses! Would love Toto to have Joseph sing this at one of their concerts!
