Top 40 Years Ago<p>40 years ago this week, "Radioactive" by <a href="https://musician.social/tags/TheFirm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheFirm</span></a> entered the <a href="https://musician.social/tags/Top40" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Top40</span></a> at 40. It peaked at 28 on 13 Apr 1985. Although Jimmy Page uses his famous doubleneck guitar in the video, he didn't actually use it in the recording. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niYtMuhvDU8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=niYtMuhvDU</span><span class="invisible">8</span></a> <a href="https://musician.social/tags/1980s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1980s</span></a> <a href="https://musician.social/tags/MusicHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicHistory</span></a> <a href="https://musician.social/tags/MusicVideo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicVideo</span></a></p>

Brian Jopek<p>This evening’s “live” selection on deck is from Paul Rodgers of Free and Bad Company fame performing a song he, Jimmy Page and the rest of The Firm did on their 1984 debut album which I was fortunate enough to see them perform live in 1985 at Denver’s McNichols Arena. <br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/MusicOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicOfMastodon</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ClassicRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassicRock</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/TheFirm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheFirm</span></a> </p><p>Now then tell me baby, do you need my love?<br>Tell me baby, are you thinking of me?<br>Tell me baby, what it is you need?<br>What kind of Satisfaction Guaranteed?</p><p><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_QHhoYqbRrc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">m.youtube.com/watch?v=_QHhoYqb</span><span class="invisible">Rrc</span></a></p>

Brian Jopek<p>The Tuesday on-the-way-to-work jam: around the time I picked up The Firm’s debut album in 1985, I went ahead and added this to my “cart” at the record store as well. <br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/MusicOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicOfMastodon</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ClassicRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassicRock</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/TheFirm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheFirm</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/PageRodgers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PageRodgers</span></a> <br><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u-BV2UmnN1k" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">m.youtube.com/watch?v=u-BV2Umn</span><span class="invisible">N1k</span></a></p>

It parodies the first television series of <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StarTrek</span></a> and prominently features comical voice caricatures of <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/theOriginal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theOriginal</span></a> Trek characters, provided by members of the band, a studio technician, and the wife of one of the songwriters. One of the song's phrases, "It's life, Jim, but not as we know it", actually originated with "Star Trekkin'" but has been subsequently misattributed to the TV series. <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9k9tHjeVN0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=x9k9tHjeVN</span><span class="invisible">0</span></a></p>

Brian Jopek<p>Never got to see Led Zeppelin but I did get to see Jimmy Page do his guitar thing with these guys in ‘85 at Denver’s McNichols Arena.

Brian Jopek<p>The wisdom of James Patrick Page: makes me wish I had the turntable/amp/speaker setup I lost in my first divorce in 2003. Fortunately, my 600 (or so) vinyl album collection remains.
