The Friday Fives

1. Without saying the name of the movie, what is a movie quote most people would know?

“Here’s looking at you, kid. ” (too easy, I know, but one of my absolute favorite movies. )

2. What famous person died too soon?
Buddy Holly. He had such a tremendous influence on music. I shudder to imagine where his career would have taken him and music.

3. What’s a great song about music or records?

Tom Petty’s “Runnin’ Down A Dream”
“I was drivin’
Trees went by, me and Del were singin’
Little Runaway
I was flyin’

Referencing Del Shannon, whom Petty would go on to produce a comeback album of sorts.


4. What song has such a great, powerful grand climax/finale, that they make you shudder every time?

Bruce Springsteen’s “Born To Run” – That ending is just epic.

5. What was your best/favorite Album/CD/Cassette find from the Colombia House Music Club
Elvis Costello’s “Imperial Bedroom.” I had it on cassette and on vinyl. I still love that complicated album.
