TOP GUN -DANGER ZONE (Music Video)



As a cub or fledgling reporter for The Round-Up, I was asked to cover a Fantasy Roll Playing (FRP) Convention near the LAX. At the time I had no idea what FRP was all about, but was about to jump in the realm of fantasy like never before.
As I made my way around the convention I came upon a table that carried all kinds of posters. One in particular caught my eye.  It looked like a STEALTH Bomber and was titled "The Last Line Of Defense."  I bought the poster and took it home and mounted it on my wall to act as a "vision" type of vision trigger.
Every time that I would begin a deep promotion for music or challenging politicians on their decision making processes, I would envision myself hoping into my F-14 A Tomcat and roar off into the sky and go after the chosen "targets." My name wasn't Maverick, it was "Maven" a "Top Gun Pilot". In the background of my vision Danger Zone is playing and my shots always matched those on the video. It was around this time that I volunteered with the USO and would dance with the Marines and became their covergirl on LA Life Magazine ,February 1992. My favorite was Twenty-Palms, CA.
As time has worn on Maven's jets have become more deadlier, faster and more feared until we are where we are now...STEALTH.
During the Van Nuys Air Shows I had the opportunity to meet with and chat up STEALTH pilots and ask a bunch of questions about maneuverability, range, sightings.  Whenever we got to sightings I would get giggles and "You don't want to know because we would have to kill you."  It doesn't take a genius to get what they meant.
The visions continue and I never grew out of how I do "business." If I pick up a troublesome project it's as the last line of defense and I am the "Top Gun" because I fly like no other.
The following short blogs are going to try and explain what is going on and what to expect.
