At 21, Eddy had a heart attack.
Grant sang the title song to the 1984 film "Romancing the Stone," but it was cut from the film and did not appear on the soundtrack.

Actually, the song "Romancing the Stone" wasn't cut from the film. It's actually in the movie. It's in that scene, in the middle of the movie, where it's playing on a portable radio in a hut owned by some Latin dude Douglas and Turner go to for help that's in the middle of nowhere. Seriously, why Eddie Grant hasn't sued their sorry asses, I will never know! That guy is getting totally ripped off!!!

I still have electric avenue in my playlist. There was an electric avenue (Maybe still is) in downtown Myrtle Beach. It used to be the road all the stores that sold bongs and such were at.

Everybody must get stoned! The world be such a better place. You can even win 8 gold medals and still hit the bong, theres nothing wrong with it. You can sit in a bar and drink until you die but cant sit at home and smoke a bong without the nazis kicking down your door. Only in America.

"Just a Bill",
Yeah, only in America. Because it's legal in every other country to smoke pot.
I too disagree with the laws against pot, but let's not pull an America-bash when those laws are pretty much standard.
