A few years ago I tried giving Starsky & Hutch a rewatch. As a kid I
recalled watching it; I figured the kitsch/nostalgia factor would make me
enjoy it as an adult. It did not. I think the actors did the best with what
they were given, but they weren’t given much. It wasn’t even cliche or
filled with stereotypes; it was just bad.

As for his music, fur reasons I’ve never been able to explain to myself or
others, I’ve never been able to distinguish David Soul from David Gates
(the lead singer of Bread), so I just avoid them both.
