Airport Bar Tunes

I was in an airport bar last week and "Eyes Without a Face" by Billy Idol came on. At the time I couldn't recall if this was actually an Idol song or some knockoff, so I set a reminder on my phone to do some research at a later date. I kind of forgot about doing that research until the reminder popped up on my phone a few minutes ago - I guess that's why we have reminders. A quick research session determined the song does, indeed, belong to Idol. What a quintessentially '80s AND airport bar song. I easily became lost in the ballad while looking around the bar and placing other travelers to the lyrics being spit out of the shitty airport HiFi system: Some out of hope, some far from home, some trying to keep the dream alive and even the dude with the mustache and indoor shades who looked like he was going on a psychedelic trip. It was weirdly satisfying and a good way to kill 5 minutes before a flight. Sweet song, too.
