The Cocoanut Grove fire has been widely covered in media. The Fascinating Horror channel has an excellent recounting of the disaster, in the dispassionate and non-sensationalized style of the best YouTube channels.

Hear the bangin’ soundtrack on YouTube, which includes “Deeper and Deeper” by The Fixx (which you won’t see on the Spotify version of the soundtrack even though “Deeper and Deeper” IS on there. Who knows why).

Yes, there are some tidbits about Streets of Fire in this 2003 interview with the immortal Jim Steinman, but the whole thing is worth a read for the Meat Loaf stories alone.

If you would like to experience what Karella surely considers the sexiest Gumby cartoon, “Grub Grabber Gumby” also may be viewed on YouTube.
