Episode Description

Most people wouldn’t associate Kenny Loggins with jazz. Best known for his hit songs for movies like Footloose, Caddy Shack and Top Gun, Loggins and Messina and his foray into parent-targeted children’s music, Loggins’  earlier days as a recording artists included long instrumental and improvisational passages with L&M, a few prodigious albums produced by Bob James, projects that included guitarwork from Lee Ritenour, Tommy Tedesco, Steve Khan, Eric Gale, Robben Ford, Hugh McCracken, Dean Parks and Hiram Bullock and a string of albums that featured sax solos from Michael Brecker, David Sanborn and Mark Russo, percussion by Paulinho DaCosta and Ralph McDonald, drummers Steve Gadd and Harvey Mason, bassist Nathan East and vocals by Lani Hall and Patti Austin. Connecting the dots, all four founding members of Fourplay had played on Kenny Loggins albums decades before the band coalesced and Loggins was (no pun intended) an instrumental player in the Zeitgeist of what is now called smooth jazz; casting some of today’s most credible contemporary jazz musicians predating their own solo careers. Publisher Michael Fagien sat down with the iconic singer/songwriter to discuss Loggins’ life, love, work, family and his new book that tells it all on the latest episode of JAZZIZ NOT WHAT YOU THINK.

There is something about Derek Venturi and Casey McDonald that just so reminds me of Peter Pan and Wendy Darling… I even see it in how Lizzie, Edwin, and Martie look up to them for guidance more than they do to Nora and George. Derek and Casey are like how Peter and Wendy are the ones that took over by playing pretend Father and Mother to the lost boys.

It's the 1986 Grammys! Sponsored by McDonald's ("It's a good time for the great taste!") and by Comtrex ("Multi-symptom cold reliever!"). And Kenny Rogers and Eric Clapton are tasked with presenting the Lifetime Achievement Award to those lovable scamps, The Rolling Stones. I was pleased to see Brian was not forgotten. First we have Rogers citing Jones' "magic intensity that imbued the band with a sense of history." Clapton then lists off the band members, ending with Brian Jones and Ron Wood, aka the first Stone and the new Stone. Followed by this amusing exchange:

Mick Jagger: I'd like to say thank you to all the people that have stuck by this band through thick and thin.

Ron Wood: Especially me and Brian! ;D

During the film's original release, which was in November of 1989, Disney partnered with McDonald's to create this commercial and ornaments of Sebastian and Flounder. During the creation of THE LITTLE MERMAID, the animators were forced out of the animation building and into trailers on the lot. They were underpaid and short-staffed, with a lack of proper cleanup artists; as this animation was done after the completion of the film, after the staff had more time with the characters (Glen Keane said it takes about ten years to create a star character animator), it's smoother and more fluid than some of the work we see in the film itself.

One of Ariel's directing animators, Mark Henn, was flown out to Florida with his assistant to work on this footage over a week's time. While Glen Keane's Ariel is more prominent in key scenes, like Part of Your World and its reprise, Mark's Ariel has a greater number of scenes in the movie- namely, the first shot we see of her. This commercial was his last time animating Ariel (prior to going on to work on Belle, Jasmine, Mulan, and Tiana), until he was brought back for experimental pencil tests of Ariel for RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET in the 2010s. Disney has yet to digitally release this McDonald's commercial footage officially; the only videos we have of it are of VHS rips from people who saw it on television originally, recorded it, and uploaded it to YouTube.

🍉🍉🍉 VERY IMPORTANT!!! 🍉🍉🍉

I know that I usually post about silly robots and my OCs, but for once, this isn't a silly fun post about my hobbies.

Palestine and Gaza are still very much under attack, and their people need our help in order to survive the malicious and hate filled violence that's claiming lives every day. It hurts to know that literal children are being torn apart and being separated from their parents, their homes for nothing. There is no reason for any of this to be happening, but since it still is, it's never too late to take action and help out. Whether it's donating to Palestinian charities to help with removing them from the hostilities being forced on their homes, or if you simply repost this post, you are helping with spreading a message and are bring us one step closer to helping these people and free them from this one sided war. It's not over until they are safe.

For those with money to spare, here are some charities to donate to in order to help out:

Every penny counts, so don't dwell on only donating so much. One dollar is better than nothing.

Slight relation: Companies that support Israel.

(I get that it's impossible to boycott everything, but even reducing the amount of money you give to these companies is spreading a message.)

Again, our society relies on most of these companies, so I'm not expecting you to just live off of air and hopes, but consider your favorite brands you like to shop from and think to yourself if it's worth the harm they are causing. Remember, at the end of the day, they only care about your money, not you.
