Do you remember Growing Pains with Kirk Cameron? I always thought Kirk’s character was so cool, living in his parents house but not exactly in the domicile, in the more than spacious room above the garage that is now reminiscent of a loft…and this was before lofts were cool. And of course, there was the dad that was the coolest dad, (who actually reminds me a bit of my dad now, in my partial finite wisdom). Alan Thicke was always strong and courageous, and a leader. Actually, thinking about it now, he had no hesitation in showing love to his wifey. Yes, seemed like every scenes always had an interstitial or wipe with him kissing Carol. I think I even saw a sex scene…or did I…

Once the show ended, television now had a void. There was no Kirk Cameron to be the ideal teenage son, nor the cool dad Alan Thicke. What I didn’t realize that Alan Thicke had a spawn out of television.

It wasn’t until 2 years ago when I heard a song swimming through the darkness of the lounge I was enjoying a vodka tonic in. 23 seconds after the song started, I was intrigued. “Who is this,” I asked. “His name is Robin Thicke”, a friend answered.
“Who?”
“You know, Alan Thicke’s son”.
“What!? you mean as in the cool horny dad on Growing Pains?”
“Yeap, that’s his son”.
“whoa.”

Compelled by the melodic attractiveness of the song, and driven by the pure curiosity of being the son of the legendary Alan Thick, I went out and got the album. I was thoroughly impressed and became a fan by track 4.

I was hoping for a new album after The Evolution of” and now, Robin Thicke is back with Magic off his forthcoming album.

Robin Thicke seems to find the inspiration to the video reminiscent of a childhood growing up in sci-fi, 70’s discos, musicals, Star Wars and when the world was complete magic.
