Oh, and as for “Tears Are Not Enough”, in spite of my only recognizing its title as the name of a really good ABC song, its Canadian roster seems redemption-worthy. I’ll have to search for the video of it, however. Maybe link it to an extremely good friend of mine (*ahem*), who’s a big Gordon Lightfoot fan.

The guy waiving at the screen is the LA King’s hockey star Luc Robitaille. The person before him was his teammate Wayne Gretsky who was playing in LA at the time. I can see the passing resemblance to Danson, but I’m pretty close to positive that it’s actually Lucky Luc in that video. It also makes more sense at that point in the film in the middle of the other athletes being shown.

Also, your link to the better video version of “Northern Lights: “Tears Are Not Enough”” at the end of that paragraph no longer works. I guess the guys who own the rights to the video apparently made YouTube remove it for copyright infringement.

I was hanging out with him one day and he was bragging about his video collection, said he had that vid and named some of the bands represented and by whom. He said, “The lead singer from Spinal Tap is in it, too. I can’t remember his name.” I told him that was Michael McKean, who’d played Lenny Cowznofski on Laverne & Shirley. He said, “Naw, it’s David Something-that-starts-with-an-’S’.” I reiterated that it was Michael McKean and he said, “OK, then, if he’s American then where’d he get the English accent from, HUH!?”

I said, “He’s an actor, man, that’s where it comes from, and I’m outta here.”, and never saw or spoke to him again.

If I hadn’t experienced it I wouldn’t believe that anybody is so thick as to think Spinal Tap are a real band.

As far as Band Aid… *NOW* I remember why I loved Bananarama so much! They were hot for the ’80′s! Hell, they’re hot NOW!
