Lindsey on Time Bomb Town

[The Chain]

Does anyone have any interviews or snippets of Lindsey talking out Time Bomb Town... making it, how he was approached... I love the song, but virtually know none of its background info.

I think Lindsey goes into it on one of the interview tracks on "Words & Music" (the one before "Holiday Road")- how he kept on getting opportunities to write songs for movies. He mentioned that he turned down the chance to write the theme song to "Ghostbusters" because he didn't want to be the "movie guy"- which is odd, because "Ghostbusters" was filmed/came out 8-10 months before "Back To The Future".

And what's wrong with being the "movie guy" anyway? He should be so lucky. I heard him say that writing scores wasn't something that would be fulfilling to him, but writing theme songs? If you can do it, you should. And while Holiday Road was campy, I think TBT is superb. It's a Top 10 from his catalog, if not a Top 5, where I'm concerned. Michele

He's only done songs for With Honors and Elizabethtown since Time Bomb Town right?

Red Rover was almost included on the White Oleander soundtrack.
