Thanks, Dolly! I love all of those songs. I about wore out my parent's LPs from this era playing them on my wobbly little record player when I was a kid!

[DollyCali]

Hi Sunshine~! I missed out too...

[DollyCali]

Hi trussell.. wowsiw on the pix.. LOVE IT.. thanks for finding the song also and nice to see you

[DollyCali]

Hi Theresa, I am going to try to make a few CDs using these & the war songs of the era that were on the thread. Give them to older family members who remember them.

Just a bit of trivia. "Holding out for a Hero" was the theme song for a short-lived CBS show called Cover-Up back in 1984-85. It starred Jennifer O'Neill and Jon-Erik Hexum. Hexum was goofing around with a .44 Magnum prop gun, held it to his head and pulled the trigger. The family allowed his organs to be harvested...

Enjoyed hearing the song again, though I think the original by Bonnie Tyler was probably the best rendition of the song.

For Max, some Jack Bauer Facts:

When Chuck Norris goes to bed at night, he checks under the bed for Jack Bauer.

Some people see the glass as half full. Others see it as half empty. Jack Bauer see the glass as a deadly weapon.

When a convicted terrorist was sentenced to face Jack Bauer, he appealed to have the sentence reduced to death.

The city of Los Angeles once named a street after Jack Bauer in gratitude for his saving the city several times. They had to rename it after people kept dying when they tried to cross the street. No one crosses Jack Bauer and lives.

When Jack Bauer ran out of ammo, he caught 3 bullets in his chest and used them to reload.

The 2007 budget for the US Military covers Jack Bauer, two pistols and four billion rounds of ammunition.

Jack Bauer's calendar goes from March 31st to April 2nd, because no one fools Jack Bauer.

My husband doesn't wish he was Jack Bauer. He wishes I was Jack Bauer.

Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice. Jack Bauer would meanwhile do something important.

Some people see the glass as half full. Others see it as half empty. Jack Bauer see the glass as a deadly weapon.

LOL!

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

If everyone on "24" followed Jack Bauer's instructions, it would be called "12".

There have been no terrorist attacks in United States since Jack Bauer has appeared on television.

Superman wears Jack Bauer pajamas.

If it tastes like chicken, looks like chicken, and feels like chicken, but Jack Bauer says its beef. Then it's beef.

Jack Bauer sleeps with a pillow under his gun.

Jack Bauer could strangle you with a cordless phone.

Jack Bauer doesn't have a firewall on his PC. He has a Bauerwall. It's basically just a JPEG of Jack Bauer. No virus has ever attacked Jack Bauer's PC. Ever

In order to control illegal immigration in the United States, the president installed cardboard cutouts of Jack Bauer along the US/Mexico border.

Jack Bauer doesn't miss. If he didn't hit you it's because he was shooting at another terrorist twelve miles away.
