They are very different songs. What about Night Ranger’s “(You Can Still) Rock in America?” Now there is an anthem we can all get behind these days. Am I right?

And, no, I don’t hate Journey. I completely wore out my cassette of Frontiers back in the 80′s.

According to robertchristgau.com, Robert Christgau is Dean of American Rock Critics.

Does the School Of American Rock Criticism have summer sessions? Is “Don’t Stop Believin’” on the syllabus?

I’m sitting here, reading this posting, and what song comes on the radio? YEP, Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin!

However. Journey does ballads (well, but ballads still). NR does ballads and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nahUZAoZw-Q&feature=related.

BTW isn’t a spoone a golf club. Kinda like a mashie or a niblick?

Nevertheless, my brother and his wife — who are, like me, huge fans of the Steve Perry era Journey — play those videos, and their sons — 6 and 4 year old — refer to the
Separate Ways Video as the “funny girl” video (fashion’s changed quite a bit over the years), but sing along to the song almost perfectly.

And here’s the point: anybody wearing about
the most stupid shirt of the moment, and still singing like this, can indeed get away with murder.

But even there, it’s just that dope-ass bass line that makes it worthwhile.

I have fond memories of dancing to Journey at prom, and using the song Faithfully to help out a friend in need.
