'Remember back in the suave 80s when mullets and stonewash jeans were in fashion? The decade that gave us Mithun Chakravarty starring in and as Disco Dancer, and not to forget The Indian Superman (complete with an S in the English alphabet)...
So anyway, I used to love this TV show called Knight Rider. Haven''t seen it in almost 17 years now. And now when I was managing my Bollocksbuster queue I realized there is no force on earth stopping me from indulging in my favorite 80s bad habit - David Hasselhoff (aka Michael Knight) and his bad ass car. Can''t wait for the DVDs to come. I''m sure I''ll puke 10 minutes into the first episode. But damn it, it has hands down the best sitcom theme music EVER!!! I mean, have you heard Punjabi MC? The music from Knight Rider is just waaaaaaaaaaay too cool. And what about that KITT (the Pontiac TransAm that could talk)? I still dream about having such a car one day - speaking soothingly to me and ejecting unwanted passengers. And that light in the front.
Okay, that should do it for now. Honest, I came up with the title for this post based on something else (coming soon) and instead got reminded of Knight Rider. So, tail rider. "That''s Me!" - as Amit Kumar screams at the end of Street Dancer, the breakthrough song for Govinda and purple shirts. I am a tail rider ''coz I just bought a 20 GB iPod. After everybody and their roommate had bought one, so it seemed. What pushed me to finally buy was my frustration with the stupid Otis MP3 player that I have been using all these days, free from audible after you subscribe to a one year deal with them. It packs a wallop with 64 MB built in memory and I added a whopping 64 MB extra to it. It still sucks ''coz it uses AAA batteries and besides...how could an MP3 player that seemingly is from an elevator company ever be good? What is it supposed to do? Elevate my mood? Ha ha ha. It is late at night. So I''ll finish off with this mind bending thought - what if Microsoft did not hate Apple? What if MSN Messenger for Mac was released with support for video chatting? What if aliens from Area 51 suddenly jumped out and offered us anti-gravity propulsion?
