Cristopher Cross hits #1 with “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” 44 years ago today.

As his flight was stuck in a holding pattern above JFK, songwriter Peter Allen pulled out his notebook and wrote the line: “When you get caught between the moon and New York City.”

Some context, this isn’t just a couple airports pandering to conspiracy theorists. Theyre responding to a state law that went into effect at the beginning of this month.

Love these hotel shuttle buses at LAX that serve multiple properties. Turns out I need the bus that’s 99% branded JOE’S PARKING and didn’t see the tiny hotel logo until the driver went right by me three lanes away from the curb.

Nice.
