Sidenote: I feel like the brief but fertile period of boxing films that followed in the wake of ROCKY is a forgotten corner of movie history that might be worth discussing more often.

Lots of '80s pop on the "writing music" songlists lately! This album in particular has been getting a lot of airtime in my house lately.

No real reason for saying this. Just wanted you guys to know that the BEVERLY HILLS COP soundtrack still slaps hard. :)
