What's Spinning, Vol. 24

Sweep the vinyl...

RIP - Chad McQueen aka Dutch.

Chad was the son of one of my favorite actors, Steve McQueen. After his father passed, Chad, picked up in his father's footsteps and kept McQueen racing on the map by racing in various races until he had to retire after life threatening injuries. This didn't stop him from managing the team and still pursue his passion of car collecting.

This movie is always on repeat or I stop channel surfing to watch this movie. I stlll say Daniel was the bully in this movie but this is about the music.

Now to the music..

The Moment of Truth and You're the Best Around, made it to many a workout Playlist in high school. I mean, if that doesn't motivate you, what will?

No Shelter by Broken Edge, was another great song. It plays in perfectly to the scene when Daniel is being chased on his bike by the Cobra Kai. Just an excellent choice all around.

This album represents 80s music in the best of ways.
