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
You’d be hard pressed to find a handful of things more 80s symbolic than Jon Cusak, a boom box and this jewel of a song by former Genesis front man Peter Gabriel. Of course, I’m referring to the movie “Say Anything” in which a devastated Cusak (Lloyd Dobler) stands on the front lawn serenading his … Read More
Watching winning baseball is a lot of fun. While I wouldn’t exactly say the world’s at my feet, at least I had a handful of respectful Friday night options. Ultimately I decided to reward the New York Yankees for a solid week of work by grabbing a pizza, two liter of cola and staying in … Read More
Let’s make one thing abundantly clear before proceeding. When on the pages of MoranAlytics you’ll refer to Kenny Loggins as “Sir” Kenny Loggins. You’ll do so without fail. Neglecting to address the utlimate movie soundtrack performer of all the times as anything other than Sir Kenny Loggins will find you eternally banished in these eyes. If … Read More
