I saw Yacht Rock a few years ago. I enjoyed it even though I was the designated driver. Getting there was fine. Driving home I had 5 disorderly copilots screaming Toto and Gerry Rafferty songs. For the love of Mike!

That’s what was coming out of my radio during college and grad school. I still like it, partly from a sense of nostalgia for those good days.

When I was regularly sailing, it was Buffett all the time

Sailing is one of my favorites, very serene in words and melody.

I get that some people good for it, but to me, yacht rock is the worst collection of unlistenable drek imaginable.

Indeed, it’s important to point out that “yacht rock” was not a term that existed at the time the music was being made.

Yes. Personally, I don’t like the term.

Here’s a great interview by Rick Beato of Christopher Cross. And another Rick Beato video where he discusses the greatest guitar solo you can’t hear. It’s in the outro of Ride Like the Wind.

John Belushi not letting Stephen Bishop go backstage to a KISS concert: Stephen Bishop: SNL Skit.

He wouldn't let Art Garfunkel in either (he's in the background).
