Man, if ever there was a song that "deserved" a Premiere edit, it's "Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through." When you're mentally checking your watch while a song is playing, it's too long! Or repetitive. Or both.

Rory Dodd was the featured vocalist on "Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through"-He was also the male voice on Bonnie Tyler's mega hit from 1983 "Total Eclipse Of The Heart".

Or both. Yeah - as stated in my critique, the acapella part at the end seems to go on and on and on. |

The Jim Stienman written songs are mostly always long! Some of them don't feel like it. This one sure does. Also this song has to have one of the longest choruses of any song to chart. Starting with "I treasure your love" and ending almost a minute later with "rock and roll dreams come through". |

Did anyone notice that both 80s shows contained non-countdown songs that were used for soft drink commercials? One of the Archive songs on was "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys, which was used for the Sunkist orange soda commercials circa 1979. The second Long Distance Dedication on the 1985 show was "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing", which, of course, was originally recorded for the Coca Cola commercials in 1971 by the Hillside Singers and, due to its popularity, was re-recorded as a full-length song in two versions - one by the Hillside Singers and the other by the New Seekers, the latter of which was used as the LDD song. I just thought that was a neat coincidence (would have been even weirder if either of the 1970s shows played something like the Beach Boys' "California Girls", which was used in the diet Sunkist commercials from 1980.

On this weekend's presentation from 8/1/81,Casey mentioned that Merv Griffin was a recording artist before he became a successful talk show host-What Casey didn't mention was that Merv went on to create two of the most successful game shows in the history of TV:"Jeopardy" & "Wheel Of Fortune".

I'm sure I did hear Casey mention "Jeopardy!" in his Griffin story. In 1981 the long-lived game show was 'between versions': Th original show aired 1964-75, and a short-lived revival had aired in '78-'79. The Alex Trebek version we're all now familiar with would debut in 1984. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeopardy! |

I'm a huge "Jeopardy" fan-In September the show will begin its 39th season in syndication-It was just announced that Ken Jennings & Mayim Bialek will take turns hosting-I'm not a big fan of Mayim-Ken is way better.

On this week's presentation from 8/1/81,Casey mentioned that Jefferson Starship,The Bee Gees & The Moody Blues were three acts who broke up & then reformed to hit # 1 on the Billboard album chart-Casey said that "Long Distance Voyager" reached the pole position-However,Casey forgot to mention that "Seventh Sojourn" was # 1 for five weeks in late 1972-early 1973-That album generated a pair of top forty hits:"Isn't Life Strange" & "I'm Just A Singer (In A Rock & Roll Band")-Granted The Moodies were still together at that time,but it's worth noting just the same.

It may have been popular, but hardly the juggernaut it's grown to be in the last 40 years. |
