Do Not Cease To Believe!

Someone on the second floor of my building routinely blasts the Journey song "Don't Stop Believin'." I hear it through the elevator doors for three floors running. When I step out of the elevator on the first floor, it floods down the stairwell.

This tune was the theme song for my prom in 1987. Who the hell was on the prom committee? The song had been out for years already! Why that song?

I must admit, it's rousing and passionate. A joyous homage to the ordinary lusts and longings of all us deluded, searching sadsacks. I like it a lot better now than I did in 1987.

Good ole "Pipes" Perry. Who can stretch a vowel out like that these days?!
