Friday Music – 1982 Edition

In 1982 MTV was in full swing and a LOT of songs really made a splash because of the whole video thing – Enjoy!

Keep scrolling – Bonus stuff at the bottom for YOU! . . .

And from Joan Jett – featuring Tommy James . . .

And this from 1983 – Sweet Dreams ( Are Made of This ) from The Eurythmics is what most people today think of when you reference the song Sweet Dreams . . .

Number 42 on Billboard’s Top 100 for 1982 – Trivia for YOU! – in 1982 1 out of 4 quarters in circulation were in the coin boxes of video games – You’re Welcome . . .

Believe or Not – Charted #56 in 1982 – from The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra . . .

This short clip of an interview and the live performance are from 1982 – Bonus points question – do you recognize the guy at the keyboard at the beginning and the white piano during the performance ??

A Hint at the insistence of my Blushing Bride – and it’s kind of a give away but here you go – Go ahead – guess who it could be . . .

Few hits achieved the international magnitude of “Runaway” – May God bless you Del – there is no depression in Heaven . . .

And I’ll get out of here with this one – I know – it’s from 1983 – the audio track has been stuck in a loop in my head for just about a week – even the damn video has been leaking out around the edges – LMAO! – that’s why MTV WAS so successful . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

Behind The Scenes : Telstar / Bell Telephone Company – 1962

Here we are just around the corner from the 60th anniversary of this – we’ve got satellite internet and phones and all kinds of stuff – but this? It was a way cool deal when this happened . . .

And The Tornadoes ( spelled with the “E” here in the US – without it in the UK ) made it to #1 in the UK and #1 here in the US with this hit . . .

You could even say they were the #1 group of the “British Music Invasion” of the 60’s – they were after all the first British group with a #1 hit here in the US . . .

Mopar Madness

Not really a Mopar guy myself – did not know about the sale until I ran across this video and that is a good thing as there are a couple that might just have tempted me – and you folks all know I can resist most everything but temptation! – LMAO . . .

I guess I really don’t want to go down the “restoration road” or I would have already . . .

It’s “What’s for Dinner?” – Simple Saturday Night

And not only simple – but simply GOOD!

Ran across this video running through YouTube – thought that it looked good AND simple . . .

And I’m happy to say the recipe is GOOD and it is SIMPLE . . .

Here is the list of ingredients right from the video –

Ingredients:

450 g lean ground beef 93/7

1 shallot

a handful of parsley

1 egg

Season with salt and black pepper – 1/2 tsp garlic powder – 1/2 tsp sweet paprika

6 traditional flour tortillas

4 tbsp Olive oil or any

Didn’t change much at all except the oil . .

For oil I mix olive oil and Chili Oil half and half – use it for just about everything . . .

You can use any you want – the Wei-chuan brand happens to be my favorite . . .

Again a favorite Mi Mama’s Tortillas – these are the large ones . . .

They sure fry up pretty . . .

And of course our favorite Pre – Mixed Rice – Just follow the directions on the package – I told you this was simple – simple = lazy on a Saturday night!

Eats pretty damn good I might add!

The only 2 tips I can give you – spread the hamburger mix out good and thin – don’t get the fire too high – you are cooking the hamburger through the tortilla – And for goodness sake – use 93/7 hamburger or you will drown everything in the grease . . .

134th ARW / KLAXON – KLAXON – KLAXON

The Air National Guard provides a considerable portion of the Air Force’s refueling capability – not sure where this was filmed – may have been England or somewhere in Europe – don’t believe it was in the US because of the vehicles used – but it may have been in Tennessee . . .

On the SAC bases where bomber and refueling wings were stationed together ( which was the case more often than not ) the tanker pukes were pretty laid back – remember the bombers went first and if in fact “it” was real – most likely someone would open a can of sunshine on them before they ever got off the ground – sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and accept reality . . .

Enjoy!!
