Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Journey is Hair Band?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Gotta love the West coast delay sometimes. Thanks!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, I was totally thinking about why I preferred John Taylor before this conversation. He was sort of quiet and mysterious. Also tall. Never was into the androgyny thing.

Heaven is a Funky Moose...

John Taylor is really low down on my list of "not androgynous", even when compared to the others in the band (tripod--might require pasting the link into a new window).

What is even happening?

Journey is Hair Band?

Not really, but they were huge in the 80s [link] In addition to Don't Stop Believing, they did songs such as: Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'; Lights; Who's Crying Now, Send Her My Love; Open Arms (ubiquitous prom song); and Faithfully (ditto).

Most of the US music that's very absent in my data banks is Hair Band, so I guessed at Journey belonging in that group. Not sure why the band never percolated through into my Top of the Pops. None of those songs seem familiar.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

None of those songs seem familiar.

Lucky you.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

ita, the singer for Journey (Steve Perry) sang the "Oh, there's a choice we're making / We're saving our own lives" on We Are The World.

If that helps.

(We spent about an hour at work last week obsessing over Steve Perry and Journey.)

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I must have been in one of the few places in Europe that actually played a lot of American pop. Very small town and big Navy base. It took over most of the bars and clubs in town when it came to dance music. Not that all of Journey was danceable to, but the ballads made great macking music for the dance floor.

I have a weird fondness for Journey that I can't seem to shake.

And I hate myself for it.
