Got reminded of Hüsker Dü's "Pink turns to blue",
a nice tune until you listen to the lyrics - then it's mainly sad.
#HüskerDü #PinkTurnsToBlue #1984

lyrics:

Going out each day to score
She was no whore before me
Celebrating every day
The way she thought it should be

refrain:
And I don't know what to do
Now that pink has turned to blue
Now I don't know what to do
Now that pink has turned to blue

She was always by my side
And never tried to leave
Standing up for me
And like a tree for what she believed

refrain

refrain

No more rope and too much dope
She's lying on the bed
Angels pacing, gently placing
Roses 'round her head

refrain

And I don't know what to do
Now that pink has turned to blue
Now I don't know what to do

Ironically, in several ways I am now feeling a Big Chill...

The temperature having gone from hot to freezing these past 36 hours or so; actually turned on the heat, first time in years.

The Big Chill

The Big Chill is the 1983 movie that endeared many to William Hurt and many of the legendary cast - a pitch-perfect blast of 70's/early 80's culture, including iconic music samples truly capturing the Zeitgeist of that exciting era.

Seeing the film lists now, amid obituaries and tributes, I have to say that # 2 for me, among Hurt's films, was not the more recent things but "Broadcast News".(I've long had an interest in "the media" and "news" as it glorifies cults & ratings. And I also lived in the music biz a bit.)

So... this film is etched in my soul, and made a mark on many... Friends are asking, "#BigChill music faves?" But there are so many,
stellar sounds and images within this film's vibes and characters, - "Heard it Through the Grapevine", "Can't Always Get What You Want", many others. Thin-sliced, get a taste of both film & music.

Why There's No Such Thing as a #1983 #Corvette

Behind the mysterious gap year of America's quintessential sports car.

source: https://www.history.com/news/missing-1983-corvette-model-year

Initially planned as a 1982 model, the fourth-gen Corvette, by far the most advanced to that time, was first pushed back to a fall 1982 introduction as a 1983 model—and then again to spring 1983 as ambitious upgrades met with further delays. By then, #Chevrolet had decided to designate the “1983” Corvette a 1984.

So the question is, is there a 1983 Corvette?

In my opinion, the answer to this question must be YES, because some prototypes were built in 1983 but these were supposedly all destroyed. So there was a 1983 Corvette but none exists today.

John Weldon "J. J." Cale (December 5, 1938 – July 26, 2013) was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Though he deliberately avoided the limelight, his influence as a musical artist has been widely acknowledged by figures such as Mark Knopfler, Neil Young and Eric Clapton, who described him as "one of the most important artists in the history of rock". He is considered to be one of the originators of the Tulsa Sound, a loose genre drawing on blues, rockabilly, country, and jazz.
