I listened to "Fame" the other day after probably not hearing it since the 80's. The production remains dated and manufactured, but goddamn do I love an anthem. Anything from Mendelssohn to Helloween. Music intended to heighten emotions and rouse the soul is my blues.

Ms Cara also sued her record company royalties, won, got blacklisted, and the record company filed for bankruptcy. The shade of it all. She was right on.

Here she is on The Electric Company singing about "D" with Rita Moreno. I acknowledge their sentiment.

One of these days I'll meet someone IRL who agrees with me that that album is an unsung masterpiece. R.I.P. Christine.

I'm sure it's been pointed out here before that the Pop Tones riff is basically Starship Trooper.

Never heard that song before ("ST", that is), so checked it out on YouTube. There is a definite melodic similarity, admittedly.

Sounds self-inflicted too. Being a national treasure in New Zealand is a thankless task. Well that's a shit start to the day

Damn. That hurts. The Clean is one of my absolute favorite bands and I loved his drumming.
