“You have cultural icons who are celebrities to the people. That kind of scares people in a political climate who want control. They can't control them, so all they can do is make the press take control, debase these people and try to take their credibility.” »read more

This is a ballad written by Tower of Power founding member and sax player Emilio Castillo. He says, "That's kind of a true story about my life in marriage. I find that you're in the 'in love' part of the relationship and then you make the commitment, you get married and the 'in love' part wears off. You're no longer 'in love,' you still love the person but it's no longer the 'she hung the moon' thing. Then you have kids and life gets complicated, your every waking hour is based on those children, so I just said, 'Remember love. Remember what it was like when we were 'in love' - put your high heels on, put on that red dress, we're going out tonight. We're going to get a baby-sitter, we're going to kick it up the way we used to.' People my age who have been married a long time are saying, 'Remember love, let's get back to that 'in love' thing.'" (Thanks to Emilio for speaking with us. His full interview is available in the Songfacts Interviews. You can learn much more at his website, towerofpower.com.)
