Music of the Week
Addicted To Love (1986)
By Robert Palmer
I thought this was interesting,
I never trust things I find on the internet, so I went to Wikipedia and found that the names of the five models were the same as in the photo, so the photo could very well be legit.

All interesting Bill and sorry to see passing of Dr Petro r.j.p.

I’m sorry to hear about your friend Lou. May he rest in peace.
Haha, the Einstein joke! I think Lonely Planet would make a good date night movie (despite the title!). We saw Father Is a Bachelor (1950) with William Holden. It’s not a very pc movie, but it’s so sweet, and the hubster and I both enjoyed the humor and the music (sang by Buddy Clark and lip synched VERY well by Holden).

Thank you for commenting Priscilla. As for “Father is a Bachelor”, I don’t think there was much happening in the 1950s that would pass today’s PC criteria. Like all times, some things are good and some things needed improvement.
