> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > Wildfire. > > I don’t care what the dope consensus is. [checks the forum title - nope, not the pit] Well, I guess _someone’s_ got to like it. I kid, I kid. Interesting story, many moons ago I used to live in Taos - at the same time that Michael Martin Murphey did. Every morning when I dropped off my GF’s kid at grade school, I’d see MMM dropping off his. Everyone else was in pajamas and slippers (hey, it’s Taos!) and he would be totally decked out - fringed leather jacket, cowboy hat with feather hatband and dripping in silver and turquoise jewelry. Good morning, rock star, ha ha. ---

I like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain. Also, I’d do Anything for Love and understand the lyrics so I know what he won’t do. Actually, any of the over top Jim Steinman songs - the long versions. ---

I guess [After the Lovin’](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahLZ7hFlUMg) and [Love’s Theme.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLTJ95kj9ng) Kinda schmaltzy maybe, but great orchestration. ---

Volverás, by Ricky Martin (Actually, it’s a really well constructed and produced song - and Ricky shared a composing credit. I could picture pop/rock musical analyst Rick Beato taking it seriously.)
