Okay, I have to say something. The video for "Baby Step Back" is a great piece of work. But, as far as videos go, the ones for "In My Fashion" and "Shadows" are fairly mediocre. The video for "Blackberry Wine" would get my vote for the whackest (if that's a word) video of ALL TIME! This one would have gotten Gord banned from MTV , had it been on MTV. It was a weird, Bacchanal sort of thing, with Rick dressed as a Puritan to keep everyone in check- but, what's the deal with the little guy? And the flashing light? Oh yeah, those split screen things were cheezy, even for the eighties. I listened to "Gordon Lightfoot Talks Shadows" years ago, and I remember him saying that they planned to make more videos. I'm glad the next one was "Inspiration Lady", because anything else like "Blackberry Wine" would have been another heap of embarrassment.

Of course, I could be looking at it from the wrong angle. Maybe we're meant to go and toke up before we watch it.

In any case, it was very kind of Mr. Ringwald to post these.

Whack! Whack I tell you!
