Truth, Computing and Fail

I have never understood why Axl Rose got all the fame and fortune lavished on him while Tom Keifer was left to rot away in one forgotten corner of the memory of rock lovers. The sound of both the bands were a welcome departure from the generic hard rocking music of the 80s, if I’m to believe all those who lived through that era.

Now, the music of Guns N’ Roses is described as something to be like gritty, slick, dirty, street-smart and unpolished contrary to the kind that was being churned out by the pop metal bands of the day. So why forget Cinderella? Here is a band whose frontman was hugely influenced by the Blues records from Delta Records, who happened to sing tracks heavily inspired by both R&B and C&W genres with a hint of hard rock like Bad Seamstress Blues, One for Rock ‘n Roll, Dead Man’s Road and a lot of them!

Why oh why?

After almost 6 hours of playing around with plugins and editing php files, I needed something else to relax. My friend Harsh gave me this certain link, retrojunk and its  one helluva site! Straightaway I went to the 80′s section in the TV shows and there they were, Knight Rider, Street Hawk et al ….. Suddenly all the memories came flooding back, with the typical 80′s techno, electronic music playing away with the protagonists being flawless, having that unabashed masculine quality about them, a time when TV series used to be far more engrossing than the ones on offer now-a-days.

Don’t be mistaken. I am not a 30-something uncle reliving his good old days. I am just a teenager and was introduced to these shows in the early 90′s. In fact they were one of the first shows I used to watch on TV.

Harsh again gave me a link totally devoted to Street Hawk. This one has all the theme music compositions, torrent links to all the 13 episodes of its short lived existence, wallpapers and what not! Recommended!!
