Song of the Day: 'Only the Young' by Journey


If the aughts taught(s) us anything, it's that absolutely everyone has a soft spot for Journey. While I wouldn't dispute that "Don't Stop Believin'" is the best song of all time, I'd have to say "Only the Young" is my true favorite song of theirs. (Maybe it's that reference to nonexistent South Detroit that dropped it a notch.) "Faithfully," "Lights" and "Send Her My Love" round out my Top 5 -- or should it be "Who's Crying Now?" and "I'll Be All Right Without You"? Now tell me, what's YOUR favorite Journey song?


P.S.


Did you know the song was first recorded by Scandal, appearing on the band's debut LP, "Warrior"?

2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Named


It's starting to look like just about everyone -- except the Go-Go's -- is being inducted in Cleveland these days. Anyone else think they need to cut back on the number artists who get in each year, TV telecast be damned? Read HERE.

Musical Geography


Heard Sade's "Smooth Operator" over the weekend and it got me thinking about geographical missteps in pop songs. "Coast to coast, L.A. to Chicago" is a classic, along with "New York to East California" in Kim Wilde's "Kids in America" and the famed "South Detroit" in Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'."

Please put your favorites in the comments -- I'm pretty sure there's an infamous John Denver blooper, which escapes my mind right now!
