Yup....

Journey made #19 on VH1's latest show with ~ you guessed it ~ "Open Arms"

Somebody even says (paraphrasing) "Get Journey into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame, already!!"

It's on again at 9PM ET tonight:

Cool! Any publicity is good publicity, right?? Ok, maybe not. I am glad they made the countdown. Thanks for letting us know, Nora. :D

One of the best ones was the 101 Best One-Hit Wonders that was hosted by William Shatner. He's awesome.

Both of those Airplane! movies are HILARIOUS! It's about time to sit down and watch them again. I love Lloyd Bridges - "looks like I picked the wrong week to quit...." Those were classic!!

I think I posted about it before, and I'm afraid I'll get it wrong, but here's the gist... It seems he (Logue) saw Schon at a bar and they ended up talking about the rumors, urban legends, etc. regarding Neal's, um, naughty bits. Logue claims that Neal said something about being a really short guy with a really long.... I don't what word he used because they beeped it, of course, but I think ya get the idea. It was very funny!!

Can't Fight This Feeling....plus he's doing some of the commentary. And yep, that blond hair was there. He scrunches up his nose and bares his upper teeth when he speaks. Kind of looks like he's going to bite someone. And it looked like he had white eyeshadow on...all the way around both eyes.

Ewww.... I'm grossed out. That blond hair has been bugging me for years. I didn't even mind him cutting his hair off - that looks great. Oy!
