In honor of Sandy...



As the wind and rain approaches, I am reminded of this hit from the early 80s, "Ride Like The Wind", which boasts back up vocals from Michael McDonald.  Of course, back in those days, Michael McDonald was singing backup for everybody and singing lead for The Doobie Brothers.  I always liked Christopher Cross, but I think his career was adversely affected by MTV.  He wasn't as telegenic as he was phonogenic.  But this exciting hit always makes me think of storms and we apparently have a humdinger of one approaching...



Some people on Facebook have likened Sandy to Sandy from Grease...



And there's always the lounge lizard-esque Carpenters song, "Sandy"...



Maybe it'll be more like the Garth Brooks hit, "The Thunder Rolls"...

I'm hoping it's more like this classic Mark Knopfler song, "It Never Rains"... BTW Love Over Gold is one of my favorite Knopfler albums.  I just love it!

Batten down the hatches!

Or if you're on a ship filled with men, batten down the ladies room...
