The Genius of Steve Perry
Categories: Sounds
Breakfast conversation at the Pope house yesterday:
Sarah: "I have this damned song stuck in my head and I don't know why."
Nakia: "What song?"
Sarah: "That one, you know -- 'Just a small town girl . . . took the midnight train going anywhere.'"
Nakia: "Journey? 'Don't Stop Believin'?"
Sarah: "Yes!"
Nakia & Sarah, singing: "Don't stop believin', hold on to that feeling"
Nakia: "Dammit! Now it's stuck in my head. . ."
The only solution there, of course, is to play the song that's stuck in your head. Fortunately, we have Journey's Greatest Hits, so we spent the morning rockin' out to "Don't Stop Believin."
Of course I woke up this morning with "Lights" stuck in my head, so we just gave in and played the whole damn CD.
The power of Steve Perry.
Did you know that "Only the Young" was from the soundtrack to "Vision Quest"?
What, exactly, are we supposed to not stop believing in? What is "that feeling"?
Well, gotta go. They wheel in the sky keeps on turning and I don't know where I'll be tomorrow.
