Lionel Richie Cant Slow Down

The list of lists is here – the completely incomplete list of classic things. Cars, shoes, CDs, cameras, novels – like, everything.

And ‘classic’ is a broad church. You should own an E-Type and a Landrover Defender. Jack Purcells and Gucci loafers. Hüsker Dü AND Lionel Richie.

…Dipping his Jheri-curled soul into everything from renegade funk (“Running With the Night”) to stone-skipping syrup (“Stuck On You”), Richie creates one of the greatest guilty pleasures in music history. You will know the words to each and every song, and you will sing them and dance like a fool.

Worth a read, if only to see why Gore Vidal and Point Break should live side-by-side on your shelf.
