The 1986 Listening Post - John Parr - Running the Endless Mile

John Parr - Running the Endless Mile

June 1 1986
John Parr
Running the Endless Mile
Genre: AOR
3.5 out of 5



Remember when Hollywood tried to make Mitch Gaylord a star in the movie American Anthem?
No?
I bet John Parr does. Cuz he was tapped for the theme song and it’s terrible. Like the movie. And Mitch Gaylord’s acting. 
John Parr has no personality of his own so he synthesizes every male, MOR musician and creates listenable but dull music. Except for “Don’t Leave Your Mark on Me”, I almost liked that. And “Blame It On the Radio” cuz it sounds the most like Rick Springfield. Mid-era Rick.
