“Only in my Dreams” is neck and neck with “Foolish Beat” for the honor of being my favorite Debbie Gibson song, and the latter narrowly wins. Don’t get me wrong— “Only in my Dreams” is great. But man, for me “Foolish Beat” was the goods. I wasn’t ashamed as a high schooler nor am I … Read More
Please, save it. Save informing me NFL running backs, particularly non-starters are a dime per dozen. Save advising me that no second string ball carrier is worth $3 million-plus per season. Save reminiscing when Buffalo Bills fans thought the sky was falling post-Karlos Williams before being supplanted effectively by Mike Gillislee. Save revealing Gillislee as … Read More
Look, I can liter my countdown with Madonna songs and hardly anyone would protest. She’s music royalty and it began in the 80s. Here’s a spoiler —you’ve already seen Madonna prior to this entry and it won’t be the last time either, not by a longshot. I can give you intelligent culturally –charged, enlightened explanations … Read More
I loved this song so much more before June 10, 2007. Don’t get me wrong, Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” was hardly an underground cult sensation when the band first released off their Escape album in 1981. The song cracked the Billboard top ten and was popular. But not that popular. It was always an anthem … Read More
One of my best friends, a Yankee fanatic begins each season with a simple Facebook status that reads “162-0” in honor of his favorite team finishing the regular season undefeated. With each corresponding Yankee loss that figure adds one to the right side. After the first give games, his status read “158-4”. The way things … Read More
If citizens of the United States thought they’d seen the last of Selina Meyer in office, they have another thing coming—at least in her falsified mind. Time-hopped one year ahead of this past season five finale that saw Meyer defeated by Laura Montez in the Presidential vote by the House of Representatives, Meyer proclaims (solely … Read More
If you’re not into processing the lyrics and (understandably) absorbed in the catchy beats of the drum, you wouldn’t recognize “Heat of the Moment” is fundamentally a 3-minute, 50-second apology—a damn good one at that. The band’s lead vocalist and bass player, John Wetton said so himself. In a 2014 interview with Songfacts.com Wetton said … Read More
Literally around 24 hours ago I wrote that Greg Bird should spend some time in the minors to work on a swing that looked overmatched for MLB pitching. To quote the great Chris Jericho, I am a “stupid idiot”. After tonight I think Bird may win a battle title. Entering the game with one hit … Read More
I never particularly wanted to like this song. There were rock power ballads here and there I appreciated from the 80s, but for the most part I was a pop/cheese guy. Til this day I scarcely comprehend what this song is even about. Still, I just couldn’t help but dig “Sister Christian”, a lot. Call … Read More
Last night I said the New York Yankees were victorious in one of the more exciting games I’ve seen in quite some time. This afternoon they won in one if the weirder ones. The Bombers did a lot of whiffing at the plate; striking out a franchise record-tying 17 times. However, they also drew eight … Read More
