Dan Hartman wrote ‘I Could Dream About You’ originally for Hall and Oates. After they turned it down, he recorded it himself. It became a Top 10 hit and featured in ‘Streets of Fire.’ Here’s Dan performing it on the coolest of music variety shows ‘Soul Train’ in 1984. 🙌🏿🚂 youtu.be/BxfDFOr3yUE?...

Remember on the ‘Drew Carey Show’ when Drew and the gang auditioned Slash, Rick Nielsen, Joey Ramone, Dusty Hill, Dave Mustaine, Lisa Loeb, and Jonny Lang for their band and rejected them all? Joe Walsh got the gig for being 'sloppy’ and ‘slow.’ youtu.be/mLt0oMNuVac?...

The ‘Top 5 Best Guitar Solos’ by Guitar World are: 1. Queen - ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ 2. Van Halen - ‘Eruption’ 3. Pink Floyd - ‘Comfortably Numb’ 4. Led Zeppelin - ‘Stairway to Heaven’ 5. Eagles - ‘Hotel California’ I agree only if the title is changed to ‘The 5 Most Iconic.’
