Remix of Danger Zone to be made. Kenny Loggins says he'd love to collaborate the song with a current band.

It's gonna be a hip-hop band. Isn't it? :|

He's had a fair bit of cancer, so one might give him some slack for letting himself go.

The only thing I remember about her, was that she and Cruise had sex on a train. Or was it on a motorbike?
