I remember on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, a week after the attacks at the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, things slowly began to get back to normal. Everybody began to get back to the things they're watching and listening. Patriotic themes popped up everywhere. Late night TV had patriotic themes, just to name a few. Sadly, in the years to come, most entertainment would go shit. The reason is because of the PC police. These PC pussies who bitch and complain about entertainment in general so that artists can conform to their standards. And that was the end product of 9/11/01.
Anyway, that's my view and that's the truth of today's music.
Friday Jukebox is about a retrospective of music from the past. And last Friday, I didn't post any music, instead posting the United States of America national anthem in respect for those killed on 9/11/01.
Now this week, it's back to music, like the NFL's slogan for this past week of opening regular season football games was "Back to Football." A campaign to reflect the NFL's labor dispute this past summer which results in more football in 2011.
Speaking of Friday Jukebox, this week's song is a becoming a favorite of mine. One, because it was released in 1983, and the other is from a pioneer of electronic music, Denis Le Page. Le Page, along with his (ex-wife) called the suburbs of Montreal home and recorded there. Had songs that reached the Billboard charts, especially in the early '80s. "Angel Eyes," from the 1983 album Lime 3, reached the top 15 in the Billboard dance music chart that year.
