[sdiy] OT: Music movies

[Bob Weigel]

Ahhh yes.  Xanadu.. I knew this girl who looked the part just too well.  
Went to see the Popeye movie with Robyn Williams with this other girl 
who was trying to get that look down as well.  Following her special 
edition ..what was it a TA or camaro? Can't even recall now.. in my 
nova.   Nobody got killed...all...good clean fun.   Umm until the crazy 
driver chick married this other guy whose brother I would up being 
friend's with and well that didn't turn out so well for him.
    Oops..oh yeah synth music in movies...hmm well the scenes in spinal 
tap..it's a little hard to tell what he's playing.  Is that an XB-2 or 
something on the bottom and ...something with small keys on top with who 
knows what sandwiched between..  There's a glimpse of something analog 
on the left. Couldn't catch what it was in any of the scenes.  Hehe. 
Like..this is really important?  Somebody mentioned spinal tap somewhere 
now that's all I can think of :-) -Bob
