Filling Up My Life With Music
While we were watching the superannuated Barry Gibb on American Idol last night, one of my boys asked me about the other Brothers Gibb. Which raised the subject of non-Bee Gee Andy Gibb, which then reminded me of Solid Gold (Andy served as co-host for one season).
I’ve always thought of Solid Gold as the missing link (well, not really missing, but you know what I mean) between the videoless past and the MTV era. Scantily clad hotties, choreographed dance numbers, lip-synching — Solid Gold had it all a year and a half before “Video Killed the Radio Star” first aired.
