There are some big hits from this era that I haven’t heard before- but this one was one that was hard to avoid. I never have watched the Robin Hood movie- but this song seemed to be everywhere in 1991. The 2nd of 4 #1’s by Bryan Adams. He’s one of those artists that while I am not a fan of his- I don’t dislike him- He’s kind of there. I did love the ‘Summer of ’69’. My friend Helmet calls Johnny Mellencamp- Bruce Springsteen Lite- and Bryan Adams- John Mellencamp Lite.

I think Bryan Adams has some good songs, especially on his earlier records.
I used to listen to the “Reckless” album all the time when it came out in ’84. While I’m no longer as fond of it, I still dig “Summer of 69”, “Run to You” and “It’s Only Love,” the duet with Tina Turner.
On the other hand, I feel “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” was completely over-exposed, and I’ve grown a bit tired of it.
Dude! You seriously need to see that Robin Hood movie. It is a scream. Alan Rickman is a scene stealer as the Sheriff of Nottingham. And, Morgan Freeman as a Muslim warrior is really cool.
Sheriff: “Robin! I’m going cut your heart out with a spoon!”
Guy of Gisborne (Michael Wincott): “Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?”
Sheriff (growling): “Because it’s dull, you twit. It’ll hurt more.”
Then, there is the drunken Friar Tuck (Michael McShane).
Classic movie.
I got part of that quote wrong. It was “Locksley! I’m going to cut your heart out with a spoon!”
