[cutielando]

so I just saw the sleep token themed smau you did and it gave me an idea: reader is the daughter of a big new wave rockstar from the 80s (like someone from INXS or Duran Duran), and she’s started dating a driver (Alex or Mick) and now there’s a whole generation of fans who are like ‘her dad is who??? in what band???’

I just thought it could be neat, seeing two of my special interests merge like that lmao god I love the eighties-

Happy 64th Birthday Brian Alexander "B. A." Robertson, born September 12th 1956.

Robertson was born and raised in Glasgow attending the former Allan Glen's School, Glasgow,[and the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama. He recorded his first album "Wringing Applause", for Ardent Records in 1973. It enjoyed modest critical acclaim, and a nomination in Down Beat Magazine's year end poll. He made four further albums, but had little commercial success.

During these years, he combined his career as an artist in a writing and production partnership with bassist Herbie Flowers. BA wrote and produced with Herbie, and worked with an eclectic crowd, including Lionel Bart, Joe Brown, Jim Cregan, Ray Cooper, Micky Dolenz, Gillian Gregory, Georg Kajanus, Harry Nilsson, Phil Pickett, Annie Ross, Sandie Shaw, and Chris Spedding.

He made his first television appearance with Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel (1976), played piano on the B side of "Come Up And See Me Make Me Smile".

Before finding fame in his own right B A teamed up with guitarist Terry Britten and wrote over 20 worldwide hits, the pick of them for Cliff Richard, the songs Carrie and Wired for Sound, the latter was nominated Ivor Novello Song of the Year in 1981.

It was around the same time his singing career took off. He enjoyed chart success in Europe, with six hit singles as an artist. The first, "Bang Bang", achieved sales over 1 million, the last Flight 19, in 1982, a #1 in Iceland! This track inspired a ground breaking music video directed by Brian Grant. BA was nominated Ivor Novello Songwriter of the Year 1980, UK Male Vocalist, Daily Mirror Rock & Pop Awards 1980, JVC Scottish Musician of the Year 1982. He recorded with Maggie Bell in 1982, Frida from Abba, 83, and Lulu in 84.

As well as appearing in concert, he also featured on radio and television. Was a frequent guest broadcaster for the BBC, from 1980 to 1985. Hosted his own music series "BA In Music". In 1986 he was commissioned to compose the music for The Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh. He has written more than 30 themes, songs, and scores, for film, television and special events. These include "The Other Side of The World" by Chaka Khan for the motion picture "White Nights", music for one of the UK's longest running talk shows "Wogan", and "We Have A Dream" for Scotland's World Cup Football Squad of 1982.

Throughout the 80's and 90's he continued to write and work in the studio with another diverse group, including Sam Brown, Roger Daltrey, Lonnie Donegan, Dave Edmunds, Bernard Edwards, Peter Frampton, Alan Gorrie, John Jarvis, Maz + Kilgore, Joe Sample, Helena Springs, and Andy Taylor (Duran Duran).

He met Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford in 1985, and began a second long term writing collaboration. He introduced Paul Carrack to the embryo Mike & The Mechanics. As writer and musician, he featured on six of their studio albums. Wrote their first hit single "Silent Running", Billboard's number 1 Rock Song of 1986, and the international success, "The Living Years". This most celebrated of his lyrics written when his father died twelve weeks before the birth of his son.

At the 1990 Grammy Awards, "The Living Years" had four nominations, including Song of the Year. BA was pipped for the statuettes by good friend Arif Mardin and "The Wind Beneath My Wings". In London, at The Ivor Novellos, 'The Living Years' topped 1991 Grammy winner "Another Day in Paradise" for Best Song.

He was invited to set up offices at The Walt Disney Studio, by Michael Eisner, and Jeffrey Katzenburg. BA moved with his family to Los Angeles. He remained a feature on the lot for over three years. Was Creator, and Producer of Grammy nominated, multi-platinum, music video, "Simply Mad About The Mouse". Artists include Harry Connick Jnr., LL Cool J., Billy Joel, and Bobby McFerrin.

1991 saw "Silent Running" and "The Living Years", awarded "MillionAir" status by BMI, for more than one million broadcast performances in the US. "Silent Running" has now reached almost three million plays, and 'The Living Years' over four.

From 1993 through 1995, he put together, "With Your Hand on My Heart" for Patti LaBelle and Michael Crawford. Michael's album had a double Grammy nomination and world wide sales of more than 2 million. Wrote music for "Baywatch", the world's most popular television show and collaborated on a musical with Burt Bacharach.

He continued to work with Mike & The Mechanics, had six songs in the "Beggar On A Beach of Gold" project including the title song, and another six on their, multi-platinum CD, "Hits". He worked as writer, and musical associate to Phil Ramone on the stage production "EFX”, at the MGM Grand Las Vegas. The opening song "Somewhere in Time”, a collaboration with John Barry.

For the past 20 years or so Robertson has lived in Ireland, continually working on various projects he is still in high demand, Over the years, B A has accumulated more than 70 silver, gold, and platinum record awards. He lives with his wife, designer Karen Manners, they have two adult children.

I've chosen this song because it is my favourite Scottish World goal offering, remember, if you are old enough, four years previously, Andy Cameron proclaimed, We're Going to WIN the world Cup, by the time 1982 came B A Robertson knew that it was a dream. Oh I must add, the last World Cup Scotland was in 1998, and the much more realistic song was by Del Amitri, and calle Don't come home too soon, which as always we did, failing to get beyond the first stages yet again

10, 13, 27, 29, and 32 :~)

Just answered 10 and 13!

27. Name a song that you wish was longer

Mongonucleosis by Chicago! I feel like they should have included a solo or two in the recorded version. But that’s alright, there’s live performances where Lee solos! And those are great!

29. Is there any song that you mostly like, but there’s one specific part of it that you don’t like as much? If so, what is it?

I can only think of two. I really wish the lady back ground singers in Cool For Cats by Squeeze took a voice lesson (or two 😬) idk I like the song but once I notice their voices I can’t listen for very long.

Also in the Monkee’s theme, I’m not sure why they added that one weird guitar note right after “and we’ve got somethin to say” in the transition to “anytime, anywhere” I feel like it would fit better if it was a beat earlier because totally gets in the way of Micky singing “anytime” 🤷‍♀️

32. What is a band/artist you really wanted to start listening to, but you just really couldn’t get into it?

I like some of Duran Duran’s stuff but I just can’t get into most of it. I’m still trying though!

Thanks for the ask!🌼

Special Fight: Sugar Ray Leonard vs Thomas Hearns

Published: September 19, 2022

There have been numerous great fights in history.

Extraordinarily significant fights like Joe Louis vs. Max Schmeling II and Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier I. Captivatingly exciting fights like Micky Ward vs. Arturo Gatti I and Jose Luis Castillo vs. Diego Corrales I.

However, there is one fight that is truly special for this writer.

The night Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas ‘The Hitman’ Hearns squared off in the ring for the undisputed welterweight championship of the world at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, in 1981, that was a truly special event. An action-packed legacy-defining fight and one surrounded by greatness.

It was a phenomenal showdown between two young, pound-for-pound greats and two men amongst the best welterweights ever. It was a fight that provided a valuable lesson of what happens when two great fighters meet whilst in their primes. 

The ebb and flow made it a brilliant fight. However, looking beyond the two combatants in the ring made this a special event and a perfect embodiment of boxing royalty.

Starting with the combatants, in the blue corner, there was the WBC welterweight champion, Leonard.

Leonard combined elements of the skill and will of Sugar Ray Robinson, the greatest fighter of all time, inside the ring and the charisma of Muhammad Ali outside the ring.

Behind that dazzling smile laid a ferocious killer instinct, and Leonard fought the best of his era, including Hearns, Roberto Duran, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, and Wilfred Benitez, and beat every single one of them.

Beating such high-profile Hall of Famers means Leonard possesses one of the finest resumes in the history of boxing. He became a five-weight division champion from welterweight to light-heavyweight.

In Leonard’s corner was legendary trainer Angelo Dundee. As a cornerman, Dundee helped Ali to reach the pinnacle of boxing in the 70s and did the same with Leonard in the 80s.

Dundee was absolutely pivotal in the key moments of the fights, which became the makings of both legendary fighters.

After the fourth round in huge underdog then-Cassius, Clay’s showdown with the feared Sonny Liston, a burning sensation in his eyes had left Clay frustrated, squinting his eyes and telling Dundee to remove his gloves and stop the fight. Dundee refused, made Clay get up, and gave him one simple instruction. RUN!

Clay’s vision later cleared, and Liston quit on his stool at the end of the sixth round. This was the fight that started the legend of Muhammad Ali and his path to greatness. If not for Dundee, then Clay will have been the one quitting, and history will have been so different for the man known as ‘The Greatest.’

In this showdown against Hearns, with ‘The Hitman’ rallying after the 12th round and Leonard’s left eye badly swollen with his reputation at stake, Dundee fired Leonard up by famously saying: “You’re blowing it now, son, you’re blowing it. Ray, we need fire; you’re not firing.”

Leonard came out in the 13th, fighting with urgency and aware that there was no boxing Hearns, and to win, he had to stop ‘The Hitman.’

Leonard took the fight to Hearns, then landed a crushing right hand which buckled the knees of Hearns, and Leonard did not let ‘The Hitman’ off the hook.

An amazingly quick-fire flurry of unanswered punches had Hearns staggered, and he fell through the ropes. Hearns got up, and Leonard pounced on him again, and Hearns was slumped on the ropes, with a referee’s count this time.

Hearns showed courage to see out the 13th round, but he was on shaky legs in the 14th, and once Ray caught him with a big right hand again, being the great finisher he was and smelling blood in the water, he started ripping inside to the body and head of Hearns and with the ‘Motor City Cobra’ deemed defenseless and unable to clinch and hold, referee Davey Pearl stopped the fight.

Hearns had proved to be the better fighter for the first twelve rounds, and with Leonard trailing on all three judges’ scorecards and needing a knockout in the final three rounds to get a victory, he pulled it out of the bag.

Dundee provided Leonard with the motivation necessary to score this late remarkable knockout that boosted his standing as a boxing legend.

It is no mere coincidence that two of Dundee’s most high-profile fighters are known to have had endless reservoirs of heart in the ring, which helped them to prevail in the most testing of fights.

Leonard stated in an interview with the Los Angeles Times: “He activated that nerve, that thing inside you. . . . Ali spoke of that feeling, too, when he said beating Joe Frazier in their third fight was the closest thing to death he’d ever experienced. People can do more than they ever believe they can do.”

The supposedly invincible Hearns may have lost to another all-time great on this particular night, but he still went on to become a five-weight division champion and the greatest super welterweight of all time.

Arguably no fighter in the history of the welterweight or super welterweight division punched as hard as Hearns, and when he connected with that demonic right hand, on more occasions than not, it was lights out.

Aside from Leonard, Hearns also fought Hagler, Duran, and Benitez, along with other great fighters of his time.

Although he did not win them all, losing to Leonard in a fight where Sugar Ray proved his own greatness, and to Hagler in the most action-packed eight minutes of action you will see, still went some way to shaping his legacy.

Losing to two other all-time greats in highly competitive fights, which they proclaimed to be their career highlights, bears no shame for Hearns. To achieve greatness, one must fight other in-prime great fighters who have an equal chance of victory. Hearns certainly did that.

In Hearns’ corner was a young Emanuel Steward. Steward would go on to train the likes of Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko later in life, along with numerous other great champions from his renowned Kronk gym in Detroit, but his star pupil was Hearns.

Emanuel took Hearns’ amateur pedigree as a youngster, taught him about leverage using his 78-inch reach, and with that came Hearns’ vaunted power. This extraordinary partnership turned Hearns into one of the most fearsome fighters of his generation.

The impact that Steward had on his fighters was truly amazing. Steward teamed up with Lewis when ‘The Pugilist Specialist’ had just lost his world title and unbeaten record with a shock first professional career defeat to Oliver McCall, and helped Lewis to become a formidable heavyweight who possessed the skills to go along with his physical attributes to hold his own against any heavyweight in history.

In Steward’s first fight with Klitschko, the Ukrainian lost via a shocking fifth-round loss to Lamon Brewster, but Steward rebuilt Klitschko into one of the most dominant heavyweights in boxing history.

Steward could pair up with fighters whilst they were at their lowest point and help to maximize their attributes, alter their styles and turn them into some of the most accomplished fighters of all time.

Upon hindsight, when re-watching this fight, it is truly a very special night in boxing. Two all-time greats at the peak of their powers, with two legendary trainers in each corner, and the most iconic boxer of all time, Ali, the idol of both fighters in the ring, visibly sat ringside.

That ring at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on the night of Wednesday, September 16, 1981 produced a monumental moment in the history of boxing that will forever be talked about throughout the existence of the sport, and the surroundings of the ring ensured that it truly was ‘The Showdown,’ the showdown that brought boxing greatness together for one special night.

These include “The Other Side of The World” by Chaka Khan for the motion picture “White Nights”, music for one of the UK’s longest running talk shows “Wogan”, and “We Have A Dream” for Scotland’s World Cup Football Squad of 1982.

Throughout the 80’s and 90’s he continued to write and work in the studio with another diverse group, including Sam Brown, Roger Daltrey, Lonnie Donegan, Dave Edmunds, Bernard Edwards, Peter Frampton, Alan Gorrie, John Jarvis, Maz + Kilgore, Joe Sample, Helena Springs, and Andy Taylor (Duran Duran).

He met Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford in 1985, and began a second long term writing collaboration. He introduced Paul Carrack to the embryo Mike & The Mechanics. As writer and musician, he featured on six of their studio albums. Wrote their first hit single “Silent Running”, Billboard’s  number 1 Rock Song of 1986, and the international success, “The Living Years”. This most celebrated of his lyrics written when his father died twelve weeks before the birth of his son.

At the 1990 Grammy Awards, “The Living Years” had four nominations, including Song of the Year. BA was pipped for the statuettes by good friend Arif Mardin and “The Wind Beneath My Wings”. In London, at The Ivor Novellos, ‘The Living Years’ topped 1991 Grammy winner “Another Day in Paradise” for Best Song. He was invited to set up offices at The Walt Disney Studio, by Michael Eisner, and Jeffrey Katzenburg. BA moved with his family to Los Angeles.

He remained a feature on the lot for over three years. Was Creator, and Producer of Grammy nominated, multi-platinum, music video, “Simply Mad About The Mouse”. Artists include Harry Connick Jnr., LL Cool J., Billy Joel, and Bobby McFerrin.

1991 saw “Silent Running” and “The Living Years”, awarded “MillionAir” status by BMI, for more than one million broadcast performances in the US. “Silent Running” has now reached almost three million plays, and 'The Living Years’ over four.

From 1993 through 1995, he put together, “With Your Hand on My Heart” for Patti LaBelle and Michael Crawford. Michael’s album had a double Grammy nomination and world wide sales of more than 2 million. Wrote music for “Baywatch”, the world’s most popular television show and collaborated on a musical with Burt Bacharach, for me it shows his class.

He continued to work with Mike & The Mechanics, had six songs in the “Beggar On A Beach of Gold” project including the title song, and another six on their, multi-platinum CD, “Hits”. He worked as writer, and musical associate to Phil Ramone on the stage production “EFX¬î, at the MGM Grand Las Vegas. The opening song "Somewhere in Time , a collaboration with John Barry.

For the past 20 years or so Robertson has lived in Ireland, continually working on various projects he is still in high demand, Over the years, B A has accumulated more than 70 silver, gold, and platinum record awards. He lives with his wife, designer Karen Manners, they have two adult children.

I’ve chosen this track to remind people that the regardless of what else in the news the war in Ukraine continues. This is a previously unreleased live version of Silent Running, recorded at Gilded Balloon, Brian penned the words, Paul Carrick and him did the music. This version was released in July with all proceeds going to Mail Force Ukraine Appeal charity.

The story behind the release is an Edinburgh granny, Lori Hailes heard the track on a long car journey, her partener knew Robertson and the words of the song:struck a chord with Lorri, particularly the lyrics about keeping guns and ammunition close at hand, and the haunting chorus “Can you hear me?” Lori insisted i that he call the singer/songwriter immediately to ask if he would allow the song to be released as a fundraiser for Ukrainian people, for the children and refugees.  BA agreed, a partnership with Mail Force – Ukraine Appeal charity ensued.

I think you’ll agree the words suit the situation very well. 

 Silent Running

Take the children and yourself And hide out in the cellar By now the fighting will be close at hand Don't believe the church and state And everything they tell you Believe in me, I'm with the high command Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? There's a gun and ammunition Just inside the doorway Use it only in emergency Better you should pray to God The Father and the Spirit Will guide you and protect from up here Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Swear allegiance to the flag Whatever flag they offer Never hint at what you really feel Teach the children quietly For some day sons and daughters Will rise up and fight while we stood still Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Can you hear me running (can you hear me calling you?) (Can you hear me) hear me calling you? (Can you hear me running) hear me running babe? (Can you hear me running) hear me running? Calling you, calling you
