For real. Maybe no one has seen Satisfaction aside from me?

I gotta reaction, to say the least, from Britta at a Tower records appearance years ago, when I brought up Satisfaction and Mr Big Stuff while she was signing some Luna stuff.

lolz at the Trent Reznor vid. Was that the irl Exotic Birds he was in for a minute?

True story: I'm walking through my parking garage and I stop to check out the giant heaters that were once used to heat the garage. It says "Reznor" on them. It couldn't be! I check the fine print and yep it says "New Castle, PA", the very birthplace of Trent.

Oh yeah, Reznor is a pretty big name in HVAC and heaters.

one month passes...

A local Cleveland friend of mine posted this on FB this morning.

In comments, she explains: That’s (my niece and nephew) with Michael J Fox. He was filming a movie in the house next door to my parents. We all met him, and he autographed Haggadahs for us. Later that night, a member of the production crew came over quite apologetically to say that our very loud singing was being picked up by their mics and asked if we knew when would we be done!

haaaa!! that is awesome!! everything about that picture warms my cold heart

the houses in light of day were perfect -- all of the settings were perfect (the movie was boring unfortunately)

i bought the dvd of satisfaction, finally. idk why it took me so long. as i recalled, the beginning is really solid! the speech is still ridiculous but like everything about this movie, it has its charm. i think my early memory of having seen this movie tells me things go south fast when the romance with liam neeson starts to overtake the musical part. can honestly say they all still look pretty cool even by today's standards.

really earning my 1 vote for satisfaction!

I found the Light of Day novelization in a used bookshop yesterday. Great value for a buck. It's full of fun little NE Ohio details and I can't remember if they were in the movie (MJF and Joan Jett live in Cleveland Heights, the parents live in Lakewood, several references to Kid Leo, etc.).

Love it!! Even if the story is thin (it is) I bet it's a fun read
