Get crazy with the Cheez-wiz:
Last night while I was reading a computer book I had VH-1's I Love the '80s Strikes Back on in the background. It was the 1981 episode. They were talking about all the pop culture goodness that was going on in 1981, and they started talking about Journey. Now, if you have been reading this blog for any length of time and have paid attention, you know I love me some Journey (who are nothing without Steve motherfuckin' Perry, you know). They taught me so many excellent life lessons. I will welcome you with open arms, even after we've gone our separate ways. Though I don't know where I'll be tomorrow, I won't stop believin'. Steve Perry, any way you want it - I'm forever yours, faithfully.
Then I realized that it's not just Journey that I love. It's not just the perfect balance of cheesiness and rocking the fuck out that Journey so effortlessly acheived. No, I love most, if not all, cheesemetal. Styx, REO Speedwagon, Boston, Chicago, Foreigner - I'll bust out my Bic lighter and wave it proudly over my head as you sing your power ballads.
So, to all those cheesemetal bands that I listened to in the '80s and still continue to enjoy today on "classic rock" stations: Take me home tonight. I can't fight this feeling anymore - in fact, it's more than a feeling. I'm addicted to you, babe, and you know I'll keep on lovin' you. I, too, want to know what love is, even though sometimes you're as cold as ice. I'll sail away with you any day of the week, especially if you're a dirty white boy. Domo arigato, indeed. You truly are a hard habit to break.
