In really sad news, 80's teen idol Corey Haim passed away this morning in California from a supposed drug overdose he was 38. Being a child of the 80's and like most children of the 80's the two Corey's were my world when I was about ten! I just loved "License to Drive" and "The Lost Boys", I watched those films over and over again! I still love "The Lost Boys", I watch it every time it comes on TV. "Lost Boys" is a great scary movie that withstands the test of time, with awesome performances by Diane Wiest, Jason Patric, Kiefer Southerland and Corey Haim. It's Corey Haim's best performance in my opinion. You've got to Netflix "Lost Boys"!
RIP Corey Haim..you meant so much to children of the 80's such as myself!
One last thing for today. As of late I've been on such a Zappa kick and having some downtime yesterday and doing a Zappa search on You Tube I found this clip. It's Frank being interviewed sometime in the mid 80's and he talks about the decline of the music industry at that time. And the spooky thing about this clip is what Frank says can so be applied to the music industry and yes the indie rock industry some 25 years later. I'm with Frank bring back the cigar chomping execs...if we brought them back I think we'd have less of this "too cool for school" attitude that can make the music scene/industry (especially in indie music) such an unappealing one. Also as Zappa said music would be so much more interesting. Plus the cigar chomping execs would make it so music festivals in the US so much better, it would be less about industry ass kissing and more about the people!
