November 39ers Shine Inside &
Out
Music memories are often included
here, as artists and songs of every era, shape our lives and attitudes. ♪ As we
step into the final two months of the year, think about the multitude of music
that permeates the Holiday Season … Sing! Dance! Enjoy!
39 Years Ago this Month ~ November
1978
In 1978, Heavy Metal and Disco—about
as far apart from each other as music can get—clashed loudly, ignoring the
early stages of Punk Rock vying for attention. A few notables …
November 3rd:
The heavy Disco soundtrack of Grease (released in June) was climbing its way to the
top of the radio charts. Cue the mirror ball! “You’re the One that I Want
… ooh, ooh, ooh …” ♪
November 10th:
Iconic dance tune, “Le Freak” (Chic) captured the sing-a-long quality of Disco and entered KFRC/San Francisco’s 610 Hits chart at
#31. In huge leaps and bounds, it soon took the #1 spot.
November 17th:
On the somber side of things, Alice Cooper stressed out in the raucous Metal life. Sober but soulful, he
released “From the Inside,”
his eleventh album, dramatizing a struggle with alcohol.
For 39ers who Follow the Stars …
November 39ers may often
find themselves in a daunting obligation to lead the way. From introspective,
creatively planning Scorpios
(Oct 23 – Nov 21) who provide the visions—to the energetic, lead-follow-or-move-out-of-the-way
ambitious Sagittarians
(Nov 22 – Dec 21), it’s a bet they’re already ensuring the New Year is on
target.
With the power of three (+) Zodiac enlightenment symbols to draw from: Scorpion,
Eagle, and Phoenix—Scorpios are a
natural at coordinating elements of life, though implementing may prove a
tougher challenge. Sagittarians,
however are focused as they take aim and hone in on the horizon. Charge!
