![]() The Grammy Blade refers to was for Best Rock Instrumental for the track “D.N.A.,” from the band’s 1982 self-titled debut. But that ‘waterfall’ ’do, as Mike calls, it stole the show.” ![]() ![]() “Most people forget they won a Grammy in 1982 and scored a series of big hits. “Their look overpowered their music,” says Richard Blade, a KROQ DJ during the band’s ’80s heyday, who now hosts the Flashback Lunch of sister station Jack-FM. The band performs Saturday at the Starlight Bowl in Burbank.Īlthough the group has been the butt of New Wave jokes for years, in retrospect, Seagulls - as Score tends to refer to them - did earn their fair share of accolades back in the day. The hair is gone - Score now shaves his head - and he is the band’s lone original member, but the songs remain the same. Thirty-three years after “I Ran (So Far Away),” the band’s biggest hit, broke into the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100, A Flock of Seagulls is still at it. Then there was the music, a bouncy and incessantly upbeat mix of atmospheric guitars and hooky synthesizer lines, a 180-degree contrast to the doom and gloom of much of the post-punk crowd. First and foremost there was that hair - an extreme blond version of Eddie Munster’s ’do, falling into singer/keyboardist Mike Score’s face, topped by a set of gull wings that made his head look like it was ready for takeoff. I want to watch this again already because I am pretty sure I missed some things but overall I give this 1 paw for the first half and 3 paws for the second half.When one flashes back to some of the cheesiest aspects of the ’80s music scene, A Flock of Seagulls undoubtedly comes to mind. I did also love the comedy of the “nuns” on the island and I think the Porgs are adorable. I LOVED him taking out Snoke and I did like the trickery with Laura Dern’s character and you thought she was one way but she wasn’t. I was excited when Rey and he were working together and I wish he had changed but alas no. I didn’t get the whole Emo Kylo Ren since I pretty much felt like he was just as he was previously. I think Daisy portrays her perfectly and I could just watch a movie with just her and none of the others. Simply put for me and this set of Star Wars movies is.I love Rey. ![]() I was completely engulfed in the story and wanting to know what was going to happen. I felt like Mark Hamill was almost making fun of himself and it was distracting.īut once the second half started I was in it. I did not like the first half of the movie. We finally got around to watching The Last Jedi. I have to leave it to you to read it and enjoy the ride on your own. This book unfolds so beautifully and your emotions go all over and it is a just a beautiful ride. I have trouble writing book reviews because I want to talk about it all but at the same time I don’t want to tell anyone anything without them reading it first. So back to the other love story, who will Tami choose? I so want to tell you but I would rather you read the book. Her teacher not only teaches the characters in the book but the reader too about freedom and independence. Her friends at her English Language class are just perfect sounding boards for Tami and for us. It can teach us so much about ourselves and how much we need to learn to love ourselves and put ourselves first. It is a gloriously beautiful story that every woman, regardless of nationality, should read. It is really all about Tami learning to love herself, find herself and live the life she was always meant to live. This is a true romance novel that isn’t a romance novel. Ike is an American, Haroun is an Iranian businessman and Masoud who has a special secret and is too good to be true. Until the very end of the book you don’t know if she will find a husband.and if he will be a good man.
