Well an 1980s Band (Duran Duran) just remade a 1970s song (Evil Woman) in the mid 2020s

 Well you don't hear something like that everyday.

I just heard (according to the radio host) "New" music from Duran Duran. I started to listen and kind of thought wait this sounds familiar.  And there is was the old ELO song being played by an old Band as a new music.

I am not sure if I can think of a scenario like this has ever happened before in the field of music.

I know Britney Spears and Elton John remixed Tiny Dancer recently. 

Was there any situation where a 1970s band redid a 1960s song in the last decade. I don't think so.

The song was not bad. Evil Woman was not a super favorite for me but I liked it when I was a kid. Though I think "sweet talkin woman" was my favorite ELO song. 

I look forward to hearing it again. 

I waited 25 years for the 1975 Topps Heritage design and there is not going to be an Update set - That Sucks

 I have waited 25 years to collect 1975 Heritage (my second favorite set to 1972 Topps) and Topps Now decides not to put out a Heritage Update set - (But of course they decide to short print the regular set)

In 1975, there was no update set - That is fine but Topps has been producing an Update set for Heritage for years but It decides to stop now - That would suck

Where is my Alex Bregman, Vlad Guerrero, Fernando Tatis Heritage cards that were left out of the regular set. Plus where are all the super rookies Lankford, Chourio, Merrill.

This is like a big Tease -I can't (hope not) believe Topps is doing this.

This is analysis of the stats on the back of Topps Baseball cards from 1952-1980

* I wonder if there was an early fixation on fielding stats in baseball in the 1950s.

* I think 1971 TB was the only year total bases appeared on the back of Topps cards
