I'm a fan.
This song was in my head a few weeks ago and I didn't know who wrote it.
Thank you very much.
Yes, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They’re all one so communication lines are super fast between the three.
I didn't recognize it by the title, but once the YouTube ads finished playing, I recognized it immediately.
It was arranged by Harold Faltermeyer, btw.

The YouTube comments on the version I listened too gave me my next Pandora station. Moroder, Kraftwerk, Vangelis, and Jean-Michel Jarre seed the Electronic Gods station.
I could definitely hear it being in the "Axel F" family.
And done.
This has been bugging me for days, because even though I recognize the tune, none of the Moroder versions are the one I know.
And then this morning I finally remembered where I'd first heard it -- in 2003 performed by a duo of oud players who call themselves "DuOud."
This whole time, I never knew it was a cover until now.

Right before I got on the road to a client site in Huntsville today, a coworker felt the need to tell me he had a very vivid dream about me last night, wherein I died in a car crash while driving to a client site out of town.
Greeeeeat.
Well, I made it to Huntsville anyway...

His name is Jesse. And not gonna lie, it did shave 10mph off my usual cruise control setting.
“Food way overpriced and not nearly enough of it. My family had to split one small fry between them.”
It was actually an oblique reference to the "Hard Drinkin' Lincoln" series.

Unless one doesn’t eat meat.
Off topic, but why don’t more fast food places have veggie burgers? Beyond Meat burgers are ok, but black bean burgers are awesome!

Down here we have Impossible Whoppers, and they are a delight.

Star Wars, of course. You think I get BK sponsorship money?
I assume they're worried about unsold inventory in a country that eats more meat per capita than even Brazil.
Eat for the job you want, I guess?

Because people don't buy them in the US... because the companies try to make the veggie burgers taste like normal hamburgers instead of just something else that is also good. Which is interesting because outside the US, some of these chains have had actual success with things like falafel patties, spinach and Parmesan nuggets, tomato and mozz nuggets, and such.
Straight up? If I could get a falafel burger with tahini at McDonalds, I would.
A falafel burger would be sweet!
