Pace on Earth

Party all the time

In the course of a typical evening at the Embassy Normy called me from the living room to say "Si this one's dedicated to you". I didn't catch it from the opening bars but by the time Eddie started singing I recalled this little gem. If you have the technology, I implore you to go and find this song. It's an absolute classic from the "what were they thinking" files. I'm guessing Eddie was on alot of cocaine. In a court of law this may be considered circumstantial but the producer of the song was Rick James and he also figures prominently in the video (ps - if you can track that down, even better; Pure Gold!), and as Rick told us on Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories - "Cocaine's a helluva drug". It's a leap but not much of a leap. The song, and that leather jumpsuit, really typify the 80's. Good times, good times.

As an aside, some fun facts you may not know about Rick James - he is from Buffalo but left the Naval Reserve and moved to TO. He was in a band called the Mynah Birds with some guy named Neil Young right before he started some band called Buffalo Sprinfield. No shit.

As a hilarious aside - during the Party all the Time video Normy saw Rick James on the screen and said "You know he kinda looks like Weston". You can decide for yourselves.



"I'm Rick James bitch - Enjoy yourself!"
