Separate Ways Means...



So many questions...

1. Why didn't any women look good in the '80s? This chick is in a music video, and yet she does nothing for me. Best example - the '80s film "Weird Science" revolved around a "perfect" woman that was created, via computer, by two nerds. What did this perfect woman look like? Kelly Freaking LeBrock.


No thanks.

2. Were the members of Journey self-aware? Were they capable of rational thought? Who could have thought the concept for this video was a good idea?

3. WHY IS THAT KEYBOARD ON THE WALL??

4. Could any band look worse than Journey? Could anybody get away with looking so creepy nowadays? Will future Americans ever allow a group of dudes that look like the starting infield from a prison softball team to become rock royalty?

5. Seriously. Was it the keyboard player's birthday? Did he threaten to quit unless the video revolved around him? Could his fake fingering be any more deliberate, or any more terrible?

as far as women in the 80s are concerned: i think it was the hairstyles that made them less than appealing. seriously, what's up with those bangs?

1. Phoebe Cates. Nobody else matters.

2. No, no, and Journey.

3. Are you trying to tell me that in the 80's you weren't indulging in fantastic daydreams of the future when all keyboard playing would done on walls? Come on!

Besides, having the keyboard on the wall makes it easier to play. No it doesn't.

4. Korn, G-Unit, Good Charlotte.

5. Jonathan Cain's birthday is Feb. 26, the EXACT DAY THAT THE "SEPARATE WAYS" VIDEO WAS SHOT!!!

Cain actually did quit the band to later join, you guessed it, Bad English!

No, it couldn't have been more deliberate, but it could have much, much more terrible. Like Bad English terrible.

I love Steve Perry. I love those pants. I love this video. I love close ups of men singing into a camera. I love keyboards on the wall.

And don't hate Kelly LeBrock because she is beautiful.
