Since Air America (with the exception of Rachel Maddow, who is still great) has turned into an infotainment clownfest similar to the traditional media, I no longer listen to it in the car on our XM Radio. Lately I have gotten into XM's 80's station, which allows me to re-live my musical youth.
The other day Journey's "Hopelessly in Love" came on as the Peanut and I were driving home. I hadn't heard this song in years and I enjoyed it to an almost indecent extent. Bopping my head along to the music, I flipped down the rear-view mirror to glance at the Peanut. "Isn't this song the best? This is from when Mommy was a kid!" I said. "Don't you love it?"
"No," she responded. "I don't like it when they yell."
Evidently she doesn't appreciate the vocal stylings of Steve Perry. I can't imagine why not...UPDATE: Here's a link to a YouTube video of Journey performing this song. Man oh man Steve Perry is an ugly dude. Enjoy the craptacular early-80s outfits and hairstyles! (I take comfort in the fact that since I was 11 years old in 1980, I can't be held responsible for whatever I wore then.) Still a great song though!

Oh, man. I work with my girlfriend in a relatively small office.
Anytime she and/or her little graphic designer pals who sit near her have a particularly hard day, said girlfriend, who was...uh...all of three years old in 1980, plays a Journey medley at 6 p.m. to unwind.
Craptacular indeed.
I don't care what anybody says -- I still love my Journey!! ;)
