The Police, "Walking On The Moon"

Another audiophile and I were in a conversation about tropical beaches. With Honolulu as my second home, I mentioned that, by the time you walk from your car to a beach, you are burning. The audiophile went further, and stated that, "As soon as I get out of the car, I'm burning up!"



During the summer of 1980, as an 8-year-old, I was in some summer program. One of the field trips was to Hanauma Bay. As we were making that walk from the parking lot down the road, I was already burning up. This was the first time I became mentally aware of sunburn. Although it feels gross, you may want to apply sunblock before you leave home/the hotel. Give the lotion time to sink in. Don't miss any spots. If you can't reach certain areas, enlist someone else's help. Then get in the car, and head for the beach.



That summer was the first time I heard The Police's "Walking On The Moon." I thought that that whoever did the recording made it seem like a sparse and open environment. That made it seem like our moon had an airy environment. Okay, also during that summer program, one boy pulled down his trunks, and stuck his butt out. And that was first time I learned about the term, "mooning."

On the Hanauma Bay field trip, a leader took us on a walk along the eastern rim. As you go around entrance/mouth of the bay, you come across lava fields which are sparsely vegetated. You feel like you are walking on a moonscape. Anyway, make the hairpin turn, and you come across the "Toilet Bowl," a lava tube through which the ocean water comes in, and bellows through a blow hole. Many people have drowned and been sucked out to the sea here, so the Toilet Bowl is often closed to the public.

Anyway, when you want to add depth to your rock music playlist, you play such "secondary hits," as The Police's "Walking On The Moon."
