By popular demand, we turn once again to our friend Hogg:
Good Day Scamper Nation,
I hope you've begun hoarding those presidential dollar coins... they'll be necessary when the rapture comes.
Brendo mentioned that he was looking for something to pop into the journal today and wondered if I had anything sticking in my craw I'd like to share. My response of course was a resounding: You better believe it!
So without further ado let me get straight to the point:
I was sitting at home the other morning, enjoying a big hearty bowl of cinnamon apple oatmeal and listening to the radio, as I've been known to do, when I heard something that made me projectile vomit oatmeal all over my pregnant wife and cats. What I'm about to tell you might just change the way you think about music, the world, and your own sexuality.
Before I share what I learned let me pose a question: what do the movies Caddyshack, Top Gun, Running Scared, and Footloose have in common? If you answered that they all directly or indirectly contributed to the early death of Gregory Hines, you'd only be partially correct.
The other thing they all have in common can be summed up in one word: LOGGINS! That's right folks, Kenny "I'm alright, Nobody worry 'bout me" Loggins has a new album coming out!
My first reaction was to yell "Holy Crapanoli this is the best news I've heard today!"* The next thing I did was jump up and down and look for a venue to spread the Loggins gospel - bringing me to your computer screen.
My excitement stems partly just from how enjoyable Kenny Loggins' music is. It's music that's both timely and timeless. I know that's a paradox but if anyone can pull it off, it's the Loggins.
I'm also excited because, as any good Scamper fan knows (and if you didn't know this, pack your bags and go home. NOW!), Kenny Loggins is one of Scamper's BIGGEST influences (only the music from the movies, though - none of that Loggins and Messina crap or the artsy fartsy shit he did with Ravi Shankar). And if I know Scamper, they'll celebrate the release of Logman's new album by "Riding into the Danger Zone" and covering one of his biggest hits at an upcoming show.
"Which hit?", you ask "...there are so many that would be perfect for Scamper to play." Well, I can't tell you that yet, but if you have one in mind that you think is the best, please voice your opinion here to help Scamper decide which of the many many hits they'll play as an homage to the Logmeister General.
*technically my first reaction was the vomiting, as outlined above.

I'm going with "Footloose".
I came to this conclusion due to the fact that I think it would be really awesome to have glitter falling from the ceiling, some corsages floating around on wrists, 80's prom wardrobe and synchronized dancing (including that robot dude).
Say what you will about Kenny Loggins - the man fries a hell of a chicken.
If Scamper is going to cover anything from the Footloose soundtrack can you please please please cover Holding Out for a Hero?
I'm disgusted with these commments and would like to formally withdraw this blog entry.
May Loggins have mercy on your souls.
Yo, umm... Running Scared? That's a whole other ball o' beard: Michael MacDonald.
Yeah, nothing like serving up knowledge two days late so no one will read it!!!!
