If only her fashion choices were the dumbest thing about that video! :laugh:

Well, I guess that's what he told Rolling Stone in 2016. He announced his retirement last year and there's a very faint hint in those stories that Lyme may not have been the only problem. I don't know -- in my seven minutes of googling the closest I could come to reliable sources were some skimpy stories in the Chicago Sun Times, People, NextAvenue and some Lyme disease website. Rolling Stone has a 2021 story but it's behind a paywall. So the best I could tell for semi-sure is that since being diagnosed with Lyme disease his memory has improved. He's retiring, but then 80 seems like a reasonable retirement age.
The dangers of googling -- I got curious and wondered when Johnny Cash recorded Hurt. He was 71. He also died that same year. I'll be 71 in eight years. What??! Eight years ago were ... well, "like yesterday" is a cliche so I'm trying to find some other way to express how short a time ago that was.
Thank god for 77-year-old Keith Richards. Or for that matter, 77-year-old Mick Jagger, who, when I saw him summer before last, looked like he could teach a fitness class.

I always thought this one should've gotten more attention that it did.
It was on the Streets of Fire soundtrack, but it was overshadowed by Dan Hartman's "I Can Dream About You", which became a Top 10 hit.
"Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young" by Fire, Inc.

Did these goofy videos actually sell records?
The best part was when Baryshnikov waltzed in. I could just hear Aguirre's voice: "Well look what the wind blew in."

In the case of Barbara Streisand - no. Her song, "Left In The Dark" got to #50 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. "Emotion didn't chart at all, it may not have been released as a single.
The songs I listed in my original post about Jim's passing included the peak positions they hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
