John, that song you posted by Toto called Africa is my new favorite song, I'm listening to it regularly on my headphones now.

Thanks.

Here's a late 70s song by The Cars (Rick Ocasek) called "Magic"

Metallica with Dave Mustaine as lead vocals. That's right kids, James Hetfield was not the original vocalist. Mustaine got booted because of a drinking problem and temper.

Nice choice illkity!! I remember seeing that long ago. When James intro'd Cliff I thought it was going to be Anesthesia, but For Whom the Bell Tolls is still off the chain!

That song got me to read the book. Very good Hemingway story, the song only covers about 5 pages of the whole book.
 
Ah yes, the days when Metallica were called "Alchoholica" and were proud of it too..

Geekcognito.. those commercials made my fucking night man! Awesome find!!
