Holy Moses. I came back to my desk from a meeting, and my iTunes had continued toodling along through my music and had landed on “Kenny Loggins: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.” I do not tell you this to elevate my indie cool. (I have indie cool, dammit. It cannot be eroded by 80’s pop stars because I am THAT Teflon about it. I even have some Emo and I’m not gonna SHARE if you make fun of me.)
Anyway.
I got back JUST in time to hear “This Is It”, and it was like all my adult problems were gone. I was only 11 when that song came out (1979), and I probably heard it a hundred times on the school bus. <\/p>\n

Did you KNOW that Kenny Loggins sang that song about getting back to Pooh Corner? It’s enough to make a grown woman weep. I will admit, it was all I could do not to sing along to Every! Single! Song! The album’s only halfway through folks, it could still happen. (However, even I recognize the damage to Emo and Indie Cool if I do this. Mortar shells and napalm would do less damage.)<\/p>\n

This afternoon ranks right up there with the Michael McDonald day<\/a>. Yah Mo. I’m Alright. Don’t nobody worry about me. I’ll put some Amy Winehouse on in a minute and everyone can exhale and put away the Googling for Nervous Hospitals….but let me know if you find one that’s stuck in the 80’s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
