Let’s keep the 80’s music theme.
What is St Elmo’s Fire?

@PINT of Stella. mate! you made me second guess my childhood,…but all good.

 

[PINT of Stella. mate!]

How in depth a description are you after?

As far as I recall it’s basically visible static electricity that tends to linger and almost appear to roll across surfaces. My uncle’s a pilot for DHL and has posted up some mad videos of it skirting around cockpit windows

Classic tune and double 80’s Metal kudos to Phil Oakey for rocking a Judge Dredd t-shirt in the video for what is so far away from a Metal song as you can possibly get!

It famously affected a British Airways 747 flight about 35 years ago when a volcanic ash cloud covered their aircraft. It resulted in all four engines shutting down. The Captain discovered that below 10,000ft, it was cool enough for volcanic ash to solidify and fly out the engine.

Hahaha. Yeah, I think Leipzig is their main hub (or at least that’s where he has to start all his long haul flights from.) He’s never been this side of the world unfortunately but I dare say he’d be down for smuggling mtb parts in the hold as he used to be a team mechanic on the World Cup circuit.
He legit swung spanners for Fabian Barel and Nathan Rennie back in the early 00’s

He first got me into riding but he rides an e-bike these days though so he’s dead to me.

 

[PINT of Stella. mate!]

*he’s also two weeks younger than me so he can’t even use age as an excuse.

so disappointing…

Ok to get the ball rolling again,

which famous record producer is responsible as producer and more often co-writer for not only the following classic songs (amongst others)

Blondie :Call Me
Kenny Loggins: The Heat is on
Berlin: Take My Breath Away
Phil Oakey: Together in Electric Dreams
Donna Summer: I Feel Love
The Soundtracks to Midnight Express, Cat People and Scarface

but also had a hand in designing this mad bastard V16 80’s supercar

Electric Dreams! Love the movie and song. I still have the scars from trying to make my own Edgar out of cardboard boxes as a 6 year old. Never could get the damn thing to come alive.

keeping on theme: St Elmo’s Fire was a typical film starring members of the ‘Brat Pack’

Gimme the names of three of them (brat pack members, that is. Not films)

(there’s a definitive half dozen but I’ll accept some of the adjacent ones too depending on my mood)

 

[moorey]

Actors? Molly R, Judd N, Charlie S, Rob L

 

[moorey]

Maybe Emelio? Not Sure if Lou DP was counted.
