(32/365) A song that plays to your inner hopeless-romantic: I remember the first time I heard this song, I was at a skating rink, skating (duh). It was one of my first eargasms. For a kid in 1987, it was an amazing song unlike anything I had ever heard before, and if the planets align just right, I still can get a glimmer of the feeling that I had when I heard it the first time. I think my subconscious made the sentiment of this song a goal to achieve, which I eventually reached when I married my wife. So whether or not this song had anything to do with it, I will always hold it in a special place in my heart.

(26/365) One of the top songs that was released the year you were born: This song was released two days before I was born and became the hit of the summer of 1979 in a landscape of disco and cheese. It’s not punk, it’s just regular rock music that clocks in at over 5 minutes, but the middle section solo is indispensable or it would have gotten old with the main riff. Good stuff.

(25/365) Worst song you have ever seen performed live: This was the only concert I went to for someone else (my wife). We were at the Forum, and on the floor, but way way back. Walking in, we met Rosie O’Donnell near the stage, but she didn’t take a picture with my wife even though we were the ones who spotted her first. I enjoyed parts of the concert, but songs like this in the middle were lame. What is the deal with the title of this song? Let It Will Be? I’m sorry, this is just filler.
