With all this craziness going on around Tom Cruise, I thought I'd remember all the good things that has given us in the past, so I stand to Top Gun with Tom Cruise, one of the greatest soundtracks ever. He may be crazier than a bag of snakes, but I want it to Top Gun. Let's go back to 1986, and take a look at one of the 80 events, Top Gun!
Kenny Loggins! What happened to him? He made some incredible music for films, especially in the 80's. In Top Gun, there are 3 tracks from it, "Danger Zone", "Playing With The Boys" and a dance remix of "Playing With The Boys", all great songs. "Danger Zone" was a huge success in the U.S., reaching # 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Playing With The Boys" was not released as a single as far as I know, but it still makes me want to break his shirt and run to the beach playing volleyball. Of course, Top Gun, it would be so great without the love scenes between Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis, including delivery of fools "You've lost that loving feeling" by The Righteous Brothers and one of the most powerful love songs of the 80, moreover, of the century, "Take My Breath Away" Berlin. It deservedly won the Oscar for Best Original Song and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song in 1987. Of course, reached No. 1 both in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
Top Gun also contained some of the key memorable score of the 80 film by none other than Harold Faltermeyer legend, we salute you! "It is a matter of Top Gun," a song so great? It's exciting and beautiful music to listen, even after all these years.
Of course it does not end there as the album is filled to the brim with great songs like the powerful "Mighty Wings" by Cheap Trick, "Hot Summer Nights" by Miami Sound Machine and "Through The Fire" by Larry Greene to the beautiful ballads "Heaven in Your Eyes" by Loverboys and "Destination Unknown" by Marietta. It also includes classics like the aforementioned "You've lost that loving feeling" by The Righteous Brothers, "The Dock Of The Bay" by Otis Redding and the unforgettable "Great Balls Of Fire" Jerry Lee Lewis.
If you want to know what 80 is, then all you have to do is listen to this incredible soundtrack.
Everyone knows that the island prison Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay, but Alcatraz has a long history going back beyond his days as a federal penitentiary. In 1853, the Army Corps of Engineers began a project to fortify the island. When the project was completed 5 years later, the soldiers first arrived there. During the Civil War cannons were mounted all over the island of Alcatraz became the largest strong America west of the Mississippi.
The army began sending prisoners of war to the fortress on the island of Alcatraz in 1860 and for many years after the Civil War the island was used more and more prisoners to detention. In 1907 Alcatraz was formally designated as a military prison and in 1912 a large concrete cell block was built which still exists.
While under military control Alcatraz functioned mainly as a medium security prison. Over the years it became too expensive to operate and the War Department decided to close the prison in 1934, at which time the army transferred to Alcatraz Prison Bureau civilians.
In the 1920's and 30 prohibition and the Great Depression were responsible for a sharp increase in criminal activity. Alcatraz was where the most hardened criminals over. No never convicted were sentenced to Alcatraz, all the prisoners sent there were transferred there from other federal prisons.
Alcatraz is now a maximum security prison with least privilege. Prisoners at Alcatraz was only four rights. Food, clothing, shelter and medical care. Everything else was considered a privilege and had to be earned.
Some notable residents of Alcatraz Island include:
Robert Stroud:
George "Machine Gun" Kelly:
Al Capone:

Finally closes Alcatraz
After 29 years of operation as Alcatraz federal prison was finally closed March 21, 1963. It is simply too expensive to operate the facility, nearly three times more than other federal prisons. Being an island, everything that had to be shipped food, clothing, supplies, including fresh water. The federal government determined that it was more profitable to build a new facility to hold open Alcatraz.
In 1972 Congress established the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Alcatraz Island was included as a part of it. In October 1973, Alcatraz was opened to the public for the first time and the interest has grown over the years. Each year more than 1.3 million people visit the island.
Capone's career in crime started young and quickly made his way to the top. He controlled a vast criminal empire that brought in $ 10 million a year back in the 1920's. Capone was convicted in 1931 for tax evasion and sent to Atlanta Federal Penitentiary before being transferred to Alcatraz. Capone finished his time in Alcatraz on January 6, 1939 and was transferred to Terminal Island in California serving a misdemeanor sentence of one year. After that was released on November 16, 1939 and after a short stay in hospital he returned to Florida. George R. Kelly was transferred to Alcatraz in 1934 from Leavenworth in Kansas. At just 19 years, Kelly had separated from his wife and then got involved in smuggling. Soon he was making a name for himself as a gangster. When he met his second wife, Katheryn Thorne who was also a seasoned criminal, the pair really started to pursue a career and not just criminal smugglers, but as bank robbers and kidnappers. The nickname "Machine Gun" Kelly actually came from his wife Katheryn. She bought a gun to her husband and was making a name for the division last shell casings in the underground clubs in memory of his "Machine Gun" Kelly husband. Many historians believe was the mastermind behind the image of the couple and many of the unsuccessful bank robberies. Best known as the "Birdman of Alcatraz" Robert Stroud was transferred to Alcatraz in 1942 from Leavenworth, where he had spent the last 30 years. Stroud spent six years in the segregation of blocks D and eleven years in the prison hospital. In 1959 he was transferred to the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield Missouri, where he eventually died of natural causes in 1963.
