Glenn did a great acting job on that episode. Loved all the music played each week. Really miss the 80's, wish I could go back. Missed Miami Vice when it ended and taken off the show schedule. R.I.P.

      @@dianeclay7368 It was 1984. Great point!!!
      I like your point that cash was too small to be worth the risk! Gmablers don't always gamble for the jackpot, they enjoy the 3rd tier winnings, also. Of course, 20k in 1984 is likely about 100k in 2022, or so. You saying that you might not play the criminal lottery, gamble on something 3rd tier..? The song says it is the 'lure of easy money', not that it was a fortune. Also, this particular deal went horribly wrong, but the word business (along with weapons/cash phrase) indicates it was one deal of many deals. It is a risky lifestyle business where you can loot an average annual salary ever couple weeks; an illegal, morally wrong lifestyle, but nonetheless a 'lure of easy money'...
      The living got caught, the rest got dead.
      They took risks, gambled, lost. Our main character got caught and dead. Crime does not pay! Classic 1980s where the good guys always win in the end. Scared all of us straight, for sure!!! But minds still wandered; this was a peak into that 'drug world' most didn't understand in 1984 when Nancy Reagan told us to "..just say NO!"

      I feel so sorry for him. Whoever his doctor was prescribed him the wrong medication for his rheumatoid arthritis. When the side effects (colitis and pneumonia) developed, it was too late to save him. I understand the desire for someone you care about who has died to come back, but you can’t get a wish for something irreversible to not have happened. What’s done is done. We should hold onto memories of our loved ones we have survived until we see them (the loved ones) again during our eternity.

      No music hit its peak 1966-1980 but yeah the 80s were pretty good. It has devolved considerably since. But what were the millennials supposed to do? Music is hugely important culturally speaking. How were they going to top the Beatles, the Stones, Aerosmith? The list goes on and on.
      Advancement had come to an end as perfection was reached. Same thing happened to classical. The only place for it to go was down. And as we are all painfully aware it went down hard. You'd think that diversification provided by the internet would bring it back and maybe it has but I'm too goddamn lazy to look it up..

    R.I.P. Glen, I know this song was not an Eagles song, but, that was your band. Your solo career was awesome and so is this song. Remember when an artist used to put his heart into his work?

    This was back when music videos rivaled motion pictures and had actual known actors in them.

    Listening to this always makes me think of it as the sequel to Life In The Fast Lane, also written by Glenn.

    One of my favorite rock tunes ever. Not only does it tell a story, but it's one of those pieces you can NOT sit still to if you have any blood left---that screaming guitar in the background, and Frey's closing whoop...
