Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Besides the new Casino Royale and Skyfall, the newest one I've seen in its entirety is Moonraker. The Dalton ones always seemed even cheesier than the Roger Moore action, but I'm gonna try to persevere.

There are a couple that fit both, I reckon

Controversy by Prince

I guess there's gotta be another that begins with Con... to round it out nicely. Hmmm.

Drawing a blank on another Con tune but
Thinking of those two tunes just makes me think of another dance club hit:

I got the call from my employer today, and I've been furloughed.

I'll be fine financially(in theory) if this doesn't last more than 6 months, but what am I supposed to do with all this free time?

Not sure I've ever seen a statute of a cyclist. There's definitely not one around here.

Yes, good distinction. I started out asking three songs you most associate with high school, but changed it a bit.

Oh well, the show must go on. Tonight, Thunderball!

The rjones28 cinematic archives contain a complete set of Bond films, including unsanctioned releases. Many are on VHS.

I know no one needs to know this but I thought a little cycling talk would be nice.
The street sweepers are out this week. Time to take the snow tires off of the Fuji.

You didn't specify that the songs had to be new, just that the were favorites.

The last time I had this much time on my hands, was when I was recovering from my big wreck. 350 mile weeks was the norm back then.

Now I'll be happy if I drop 10-15 pounds.

Two of these came out the year before I was in high school, I think.
Jimi Hendrix, 1983 from Electric Ladyland
Cream, Deserted Cities of the Heart from Wheels of Fire
Blind Faith Can't find My Way Home from their only album
All of these albums were great.
