Yacht Rock!


First of all, a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to y'all. And more importantly, a HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO CHAD "ALL COMEDY ONE" CARLSON!!!!

This photo is, believe it or not, "Steve Perry" and "Kenny Loggins" performing a duet, complete with karate kicks and chopsocky sound effects. If this sounds like heaven to you (as it did to me), check out this amazing website:

Yacht Rock is this amazing "Behind The Music"-type series of short films which reveal the origins of many "soft rock" (aka "Yacht Rock") hits, like "Rosanna" by Toto, "I'm Alright" by Kenny Loggins and "What A Fool Believes" by the Doobie Brothers. The main characters are the aforementioned Loggins, usually locking horns with Michael McDonald as they try to walk the fine line between rocking out and keeping the music smoooooooooth. Featured guests are Daryl Hall and an aggressive, foulmouthed John Oates, Steve Perry complete with fog machine, all the members of Toto and even a Thriller-era Michael Jackson.

If you have ever had "Sailing" by Christopher Cross stuck in your head, and you actually enjoyed it, Yacht Rock is for you. Admit it. Posted by Picasa
