Commando

We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

Sorry for ya'll who thought this post would be about the absence of undergarments, but it's about Johnny Ramones new book by that title. Our Sunday paper had a review; it looks like a fun read. Seems like ole Johnny was a bit OCD with making lists, AND he was a conservative Republican! I know what I'll be reading in the next week or so.

Oops....sorry, Mr. Brain. I put this in the wrong forum.

I thought it was about the Schwarzenegger movie.

We can talk about that if you wish. Tell me, how do you feel about Ahnold's movie?

I prefer the presence of undergarments where Arnold's cinematic work is concerned.

I thought this thread was about the old 80s video game with the cool theme music.

You, madam, are wrong. I was talking about the Commodore 64 version's music:

And here is Moon Patrol's music, arcade version:

And I always liked the C64 Commando High Score Music:

To quote girl herself, everyone is entitled to his/ her wrong opinion. Moon Patrol has a good beat, and I can dance to it.

I always liked playing Moon Patrol more than Commando, truth to tell.

And I'm glad we both agree that your opinion is wrong. :wink:

Well, I knocked off "Commando". Bottom line: Johnny Ramone was a control freak prick. Reading that led me to "I Slept With Joey Ramone" which was written by Joey's brother, Mickey Leigh, and it was really well done. It had a lot of back story about the Hyman family and how Jeff became "Joey Ramone." Of course it ended with Joey Ramone's death, and I'm not ashamed to say I shed some tears.
