Wrong Age
Rock Of Ages, the movie version of the stage musical, opened yesterday. It features Tom Cruise and includes a lot of fun actors, such as Bryan Cranston, Paul Giamatti, Alec Baldwin and Catherine Zeta-Jones. There's just one problem.
I don't deny these acts were popular, but hearing them the first time around was bad enough. I simply have no desire to hear their hits again in a major motion picture, whether it's the original version or a Tom Cruise cover.

You know I loathed those acts when they first came out. Now that damn notalgia trigger in the brain has me enjoying the familiar sounds of youth when I hear them on the radio.
Yeah, I hear Tom Cruise is the best thing in that movie.
Too bad it's not about the songs of the 70'S. Now that I could get into.
Who will want to see this movie? 80's nostalgia might work in the theatre, but that's for old people. Even 90's nostalgia is getting a bit old.
I mostly share your sentiment, but don't you have any love for Journey? I never bought their albums, but some of their music seems to have withstood the test of time, as their music is frequently covered, sampled and used in sporting/political events today.
As a suburban boy raised in north Detroit (there is no south Detroit) I can't stop believin' the only way I want or need their music is on mute.
Toledo.
Detroit will call itself North Toledo before Toledo calls itself South Detroit.
