On one of my first dates, with someone new ,many decades ago( ok-not so many) we saw "First Blood ( no.1 I guess). I hadn't seen Rocky yet and there was a scene where (of course) Sly has his shirt off and the cops are hosing him down and I just said "Wow, look at the body on that guy." I thought I said it in my mind but apparently from all the turned heads and laughs, I said it quite loudly. He looked like he was carved from marble. " Be still my raging heart!!!"
I miss the days when I still had some hormones.. Now I just embarrass my family when I am eyeballing waiters or bus boys - hey some are really hot.
I should mention I live a couple miles from Jim Peterik who Sly asked to write a song for his next movie (Years ago) and he coauthored 'EYE OF THE TIGER."
Jim put on a great (free) show at the elementary school (again ages ago) and did "Vehicle " (one my all time favorites). "Eye of the Tiger," etc. I was just mesmerized. I had accidentally sat in the middle of the first row - no body had arrived yet, and no one asked me to move. So I had the best seat in the house. Felt like he was performing just for me.
Ah, an old woman's memories- fit to print.
