C is for - Comfortably Numb



My hands felt just like two balloons. 
Now I've got that feeling once again 
I can't explain you would not understand 
This is not how I am. 
I have become comfortably numb.
Comfortably Numb
The Wall, 1982

 I read recently that the lyrics were inspired by Roger Waters being terribly sick before a show. As they say, "The show must go on". While we picture a drug addict getting his "fix" it was more like a musician needing a flu shot. Did I ruin the visual for your pot heads out there? 

 I love this song and I just discovered this video - enjoy! 

 Watch it all the way through. It is a perfect example of Pink Floyd's phenomenal presence on stage. 

I would have done anything to see this performance live. Well almost anything... :)

 What is your favorite Pink Floyd song?

What is more 80s than INXS?  The sexy frontman, Michael Hutchence, taken from us all too soon. Instead of boring you with my memory of this group and their "kick" ass songs, I'll let you all just enjoy the vision that is INXS. What is your fave?

C ~ (The) Cars

Can we take a moment and revel in the brilliance that is 80s music videos? Okay, back to the topic at hand, The Cars. They rolled out hit after hit and we kept wanting more. Ric Ocasek walked on water and we didn't question it. Record Store Day! What am I missing? #vinylcollection #thecars #imnottheone A post shared by A Wicked Life (@awickedlife) on Apr 16, 2016 at 2:31pm PDT My fave off this album is "I'm Not the One" "I'm Not The One" I'm not the one  That you'll be shootin' for  I'm not the one  Who's coming back for more  (You know why)  We've been through this so many a-times  (You know why)  It's never clear it's pantomime  Goin' round and round  (Round and round)  'Cause you can't get on your feet  Goin' round and round  (Round and round)  Still takin' all the heat  Goin' round and round  (Round and round)  Never lettin'

B ~ Beetlejuice

Before Winona Ryder hit the Stranger Things scene and Alec Baldwin finding his muse in Donald Trump, they were rocking Harry Belafonte in Tim Burton's, Beetlejuice. Oh, Gena Davis was there too. Beetlejuice was released in 1988 and became an instant hit - launching its own animated series. And, there are rumors of a remake or sequel sometime in the future. Make it happen, Hollywood! If you didn't have a fascination with death, you did after watching this movie. Okay, I did/do. I even have my own copy of the handbook so I'm prepared. Yet, I am still hesitant in saying Beetlejuice 3xs. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice... nah. You first. Are you a fan? Tell me your favorite scene/s in the comments below. See you tomorrow for "C"
