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

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
It took nine games to arrive there but the New York Yankees got over the .500 hump tonight. Aaron Hicks went deep twice to deliver all the offense, Luis Severino was superb on the bump and the highly touted tandem of Dellin Betances and Aroldis Chapman closed the door on the Tampa Rays as the … Read More
I woke up this morning and within minutes was ready to throw up all over my laptop rather than enjoy my breakfast. It’s not attributed to food poisoning, drinking expired milk or an illness such as cough due to cold No, it’s because of a Tweet from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport—that bastard. According to Rapoport … Read More
If you want to be the one that categorizes “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” as Cyndi Lauper’s signature song you’re within your rights. However, I have but one ditty of hers on this countdown and which one for me is a no-brainer. “Time After Time” is an exquisite love song. With the exception of my … Read More
