Try to find it someplace and check it out.\u00a0 Madonna played a mysterious, exotic woman named Susan. She didn&#8217;t seem to have a mailing address and the guy who was romantically pursuing her had to use the classifieds section of the newspapaer to contact her.\u00a0 I&#8217;m sure that today Susan would have an iPhone [most likely <em>borrowed<\/em>].<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m primarily bringing it up because I had a similar relationship with a girl during <em>The Roach Days.<\/em> Remember the beautiful blonde woman that I mentioned in <a title=\"My Musical Evolution \u2013 Part 221 College Intermission Simbro Brothers\" href=\"http:\/\/www.westwoodvalley.com\/my-musical-evolution-part-221-college-intermission\/\">Part 221<\/a>? Well this was her.\u00a0 We met casually in passing a year\u00a0prior and it was some time into our <em>second <\/em>meeting that either of us realized that we had met before.<\/p>\n<p>She was beautiful, provocative, mysterious and exotic. When she was with me, she made feel like the only guy in her life even though I knew full well that I wasn&#8217;t. We&#8217;d spend some time together and then she&#8217;d disappear leaving me with no way to reach her.\u00a0 She would show up every once in a while sometimes more frequently than others. Usually it was unannounced or preceded by a phone call. For a brief period it felt like we were dating but that could have been just wishdul thinking.<\/p>\n<p>I wondered if that mysterious quality was responsible for the intensity of the\u00a0attraction.\u00a0 One of her favorite songs at the time was <em>Billy Idol&#8217;s Hot In The City<\/em> so I got to work learning it so I could play it for her.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Billy Idol &#8211; <em>Hot In The City<\/em><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PinBVYKQGeM?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nSaga &#8211; <em>On The Loose<\/em><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xQLWMvJ3sp4?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nJohn Cougar Mellenkamp &#8211; <em>I Need A Lover<\/em>\u00a0 The first ime I heard this I was really entracned by the long instrumental into and thought &#8220;wow, somebody has done a really cool guitar version of that Pat Benetar song.&#8221;<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sdl5_3HX8bU?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nThe Fixx &#8211; <em>Saved By Zero<\/em><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JOiZP8FS5Ww?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nMurray Head &#8211; <em>One Night In Bangkok<\/em><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P9mwELXPGbA?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nMadonna &#8211; <em>Into The Groove<\/em><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iETMQcDQAaM?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t recall how it happened but somehow I ended up with Madonna&#8217;s movie Desperately Seeking Susan on video tape.\u00a0 Did I record it from one of the cable movie channels?
