My Friends, My Friends, please bear with me this time, OK?

My last BOTB's Battle Of The Booze contest was sugar & spice & everything "nice", and most everyone seemed to like it. This one, with its heavy, Heavy, HEAVY keyboards and even heavier theme, won't likely be as appreciated. But, as an infamous person once said:

My all-time favorite movie soundtracks are:
.
#1) [Link> BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S by Henry Mancini.
.
#2) [Link> ONE FROM THE HEART by Tom Waits (& Crystal Gayle)
.
#3) [Link> THE ENDLESS SUMMER II by Gary Hoey
.
(Anybody who thinks movie soundtracks cannot Rock really hard has obviously never heard Gary Hoey's guitar work in 'The Endless Summer II'.)
.
1986 was a rough year for me. The angels of "Los Angeles" had departed, and one of the very, very best friends I've ever had committed suicide in '86. And it was still eight years before I would meet Yeshua. A tough time for ol' STMcC (who wasn't really ol' yet, but was beginning to feel kinda ol').
.
However, that same year, David & David released their only album, 'Boomtown', which made them a one-hit-wonder when their song [link> 'Welcome To The Boomtown' climbed to #37 in the Billboard charts.
.
David (Baerwald) & David (Ricketts) and their only album attracted a "cult" following, which still exists today. I know because... I'm a cult member. Without boring you to death with details, I'll simply say that I had 'Boomtown' on 'repeat' in '86 & '87 because I felt that The Davids had been "reading my mail". The songs really spoke to me (like me speaking to myself!)
.
That brings us to this installment of BOTB's Battle Of The Booze. We have 'LITTLE BOY BLUE' by Tom Waits from his soundtrack for the movie 'One From The Heart' going against 'ALL ALONE IN THE BIG CITY' from David & David's only album 'Boomtown'.
.
Please vote for your choice as "the lesser of two weevils" here. And then go deposit your two cents-worth in the Battles of the other BOTBers. I plan to return on Oct. 8th with my own vote and the Results.
.
Alright, let's get on it.
Let's get ON this thing!
.
So, Abracadabra
Now she's disappeared
Everything's Canada Dry
So, watch your behavior
And rattle your cage
With a bottle of bourbon
Good-bye

What's the matter, buddy?
Do you want another drink?
Try Jack Daniel's
It really helps you to think.
