Starship's low point is generally considered to be "We Built This City." It's ... remarkable. In the same sense, I suppose, that ebola is remarkable. I like Starship but I'm with you on this one. Horrible song. Cei-U! I summon the rare concurrence! No. It's way worse than horrible. It may well be the worst song ever recorded.

That was a pretty bad song. I didn't mind the ballad they had on the radio around the same time - mid-80s? - You Can Call on Me, or something like that.
But top 40 radio in the 80s was so bad I had pretty low expectations back then. If I didn't actively hate something, that was almost a win, relatively speaking.

You willingly listened to more than 1 second of Journey? Yes, something is quite wrong with you.

Cheers is a show I have not watched a lot of. Most of my Cheers knowledge was from watching Frasier. But I always liked George Wendt's character. Norm!!!

Horrible song. Cei-U! I summon the rare concurrence! I think it's all about context. I love We Built This City as a mindless feel good pop song, but that's only because I can manage not to equate it with Jefferson Airplane. I don't know any other Starship songs, but if I built a playlist that began with Airplane and ended with We Built This City, I would probably need to smash my computer after the first verse.

To be fair though, Jefferson Airplane and the version of Starship who had hits with "We Built This City" and "Nothing's gonna Stop Us Now" only had one band member in common: Grace Slick. The fact that Slick, the writer of such awesomely weird and left-of-centre pop songs as "White Rabbit", "Lather" and "Greasy Heart" would, 20 years later, happily sing AOR tripe like "We Built This City" makes the mind boggle. It was either a case of the money talking or the poor woman must've been suffering some kind of breakdown at the time.

Speaking of embarrassed silence, last night I received a notification that a local FB acquaintance whom I've met all of twice added me to a new closed group devoted to "BDSM Dating & Personals." That's ... ummm ... interesting. I'm gonna assume that she added everyone on her friends list, though looking just now I see that said list is about 5 times as large as the new group's membership.

Lol...she obviously thinks she knows the real you.

If she does, she obviously knows me better than I know myself.

Well eventually she married me. Maybe some of my other music selections swayed her to a more positive decision. We have to assume that the good on that tape must've outweighed the bad then. If he were still here and I met him face to face, I should probably thank Prince for my marriage. If she were to have judged me on my music taste from that tape, Prince is likely the only thing that saved me. And he is about the only thing for almost 18 years that we still hold in common musically. Otherwise we are both on opposite ends of the musical spectrum.

Dan ... that's one of many reasons why I don't like Facebook is when people add you to a group that you do not want to be associated about. I have Facebook just for discount purposes and some of the businesses that I deal with gives me 10 to 15 percent off of goods and services when I visit Canada on an infrequent basis.

At risk of being booted from the thread, I...don't like Springsteen, Billy Joel, or Journey. I saw Foreigner live, though, and they were good!
