Written By: gumbypiz on 10/08/12 at 4:20 pm

Just a nice aside for a Monday, seems Peter Gabriel did a performace of his iconic "In Your Eyes" song at the Hollywood Bowl last night, and who walks onto the stage?

It was an 80s version of serenading the one you love.

Say Anything is a great flick--- Lloyd Dobler & the boom box was an iconic moment.

In the late 70s early 80s, the bigger the boombox you had in high school, the more popular you were with some people, at least guys felt that way.

Just like when you when you were walking down the street with your boombox next to your ear.

A few nights later, Peter had a good laugh about it with Jimmy Fallon. He also spoke of how long the "Sledgehammer" video took to shoot(Totally worth it, to this day it remains the most-played video in MTV history!), and a little background on why "Red Rain" sounds like it does(Too long listening to Tom Waits!).
The SO 25th Anniversary Box Set should be in stores now.

Your Pal,
Doc
