It’s hard to believe that Demi Moore is 62 today! Her career has included some big box office hits. Those include Ghost, A Few Good Men, Striptease, GI Jane, Indecent Proposal, The Juror, and many more.
With so many great movies and great soundtracks to choose from, I had plenty of songs that I could feature. Instead, I picked a rather obscure one because it features Demi actually singing.
In 1986, she starred alongside John Cusak in a silly film called One Crazy Summer. Is it a great film? No. The New York Times said, “In spite of the director’s flair for zany humor, this film is just absurd.”
Demi plays a rock singer who is trying to raise money to save her grandfather’s house. Cusak’s character and his nutty friends promote one of her shows and it is a big success. At the show, she songs a song called “Don’t Look Back.”
The song has your stereotypical 1980’s sound, and the vocal actually isn’t bad. If she had released an album … I might have bought it.
I'm just a guy who likes the classics. I love Old Time Radio Shows. I love Classic TV. I love Classic Movies. I love songs from the "Great American Songbook". I dig songs from the first decade of Rock and Roll. Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to newer things. My musical taste ranges from Classical to Classic Rock and Country to Rap. I love a good book and am always looking for something to read. I tend to lean toward historical fiction, biographies, mysteries, and more.
I have always believed that our past (and the things we've experienced in it) make us who we are today. That being said, after reading through some old My Space blogs (yeah, that's about how long it's been since I blogged regularly), I decided that I should once again write. Welcome to my blog. I hope you find it interesting, thought provoking, and entertaining in some way.

never saw that one but I did like Demi back in the day. Just looking through her filmography, I didn’t realize she’d been in so many movies – I’ve seen perhaps 8, and most of them have been pretty good and she was watchable … to me about the only thing positive about ‘st Elmo’s Fire’ besides maybe the theme song
I remember that movie so fondly

Cusak was an 80’s staple

I don’t recall watching that movie and also had no idea Demi Moore sang. And, yes., it’s hard to believe she’s 62 – time flies!
