I sat and watched this, transfixed, the other day for about ten minutes before I had to leave the house.
Air Supply looks so old now and I kind of felt bad for them. "We're really broke so we'll grin and bear this lame assed informercial that we'll make a bunch of money for and hopefully sell some more records." I love the contrast between the noticeabley uncomfortable Air Supply trying to get through their lines with the bright springy young co-host saleslady.
NOT CRAP

John Denver and America were two of my parents' favorite artists, so I did.

Christopher Cross - Ride Like the Wind
Christopher Cross - Arthur's Theme

Love it. Puts me in a trance.
I'm glad that these are the songs from my youth- sunny and melodic, not the dark and brooding suicide grunge of the 90's.
The thought of road trips with Pearl Jam and STP on my parents' car stereo horrifies me.
