Thanks a fucking lot -- Mayor Bloomberg just approved the rezoning for this. Your so-called hipsters are about to become as scarce as Indians at Jamestown settlement. Then you're fucked, because we invented everything, including drinking.
Hmm, ironic casino...note to self, call gaming commission.

A task for y'all in cyberspace: my brother, an original-wave Yacht Rock devotee, wants me to see if I can track down the SCTV sketch referred to in Yacht Rock 4. Does anyone happen to have this lying around or something?
Episode 84, Volume One Disc Three of the DVDs, same episode as the Poocharé All Meat Dog Food commercial and the first Mrs Falbo's Tiny Town.

It ain't bad, but with the last few installments, Yacht Rock seems to be in a pattern of alternating between episodes in its "classic" format (lots of different bands, crammed full of small jokes) and curious side tangents (the Jethro Tull thing, Dr. Dre). I definitely enjoy the classic ones (1-5, 8) the best, but I kind of like that they do keep indulging in these footnote-like episodes whose sole purpose is to illuminate deliciously minor pieces of Yacht trivia. That's an ILMy spirit that I can't hate even if it makes me fear for the show's ratings survival.
I still REALLY REALLY want to see a story where Rosanna Arquette runs off with Peter Gabriel, finding his freakish antics and experimental music a refreshing change after all the smooth. Unfortunately, his search for jagged new world music sounds leads them on a trip to Africa, where he's so moved that he composes the brilliantly yacht-y "In Your Eyes." Just as Rosanna is moved to doubt that Peter is the man she thought he was, Toto (who have been following sneakily the whole time) unleash "Africa," and Rosanna realizes where she really belongs.
JD Ryznar, if you're reading this, please steal my idea. And also know that thanks to Yacht Rock, I now own and love Toto I and IV, as well as X-Static by Hall & Oates. Y'all rock.
Discussion topic for the rest of us: favorite moment/character in Yacht Rock? I think Loggins steals every scene he's in, with his smugly satisfied "I'm Alright" and his unbelievably nuanced lip-synch for "Don't Fight It" taking the cake.

Ironic, considering that "What a Fool Believes," perhaps the epitome of yacht rock, is all about NO love, NO hope, NO fear, and NO possibility.
