Soft Rock

Heather Locklear and I had a regular “sisters” sleepover this holiday weekend. We ate too much food and watched too much television, rarely straying from the couch, for anything other then to go to the bathroom, to get more food or to change the load in the washing machine. It was almost like when we were little when we used to sleep in the TV Room and watch TV until we fell asleep and then have cereal in front of the TV the next morning watching Smurfs. While flipping through the channels late Thursday night we came across the infomercial for the Classic Rock CDs. Hosted by Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell (he still looks like a Hobbit) from Air Supply we spent the next 30 minutes enthralled in the classic sounds of the 70s and 80s. We were like the two little ashy kneed twins again, rocking out to the tunes on WLTE. We sang along to every song snippet they played. We were seconds away from getting out the credit card and calling the number at the bottom of the screen. That is until they flashed 5 easy payments if $29.99! WTH! SSSCCCCRREEECCCHHH! We put a brake on that really quickly! I love the tunes from back in that day but I can’t see spending $150 to enjoy them again. Sorry Graham and Russell.

So in honor of never being able to afford the 10 CD set, here are a couple of the tunes from the infomercial. And just in case you win the lottery and are ever wondering “what could I get the Jones Twins for a BLANK gift”, remember “Classic Soft Rock”.
