Night Ranger: No Motorin'

Damnit, Night Ranger was supposed to do Sister Christian on Hit Me Baby One More Time, but apparently they backed out at the last minute.

Michele live-blogged the whole dumb/sorta entertaining show.

Confessions:

I still love Everybody Have Fun Tonight. And Word Up.

I hated the song Howard Jones did, but I betcha I can remember all the words to Things Can Only Get Better. Not a difficult trick; the song has like eight words total, and five of them are right there in the title.

Do you sing along with the television, ace? Be honest.

Not surprised w/ 'Ranger.' As a long time, 'Ranger head', following their non stop crazy musical carnival round the world these last 20 years, if I know one thing, it's that those wild and crazy sons of bitchs will either touch your soul or break your heart - and you never know which till it's already happened.

Tonight, they broke our heart. Tomorrow they'll rock our world. With Ranger, it's easy come, easy go. Either way, just keep MO-TOR-IN.... and you'll be all right to-night.

C'mon Ace, No One Is To Blame is a great song.

Okay, it's not a *great* song, but I associated it with good times when I visited Washington, D.C. for the very first time.

Alas, I also remember Rod Stewart's "Love Touch" from that summer as well (Legal Eagles had just come out).

Hey, back off. . . it's just basic psychology. Crap + Good Times = Warmly-Remembered Crap.

And that's always better than plain ol' warm crap.

Cheers,

Oh, BTW-- end of a dream:

Actor Tom Cruise Proposes To Girlfriend Katie Holmes At Eiffel Tower.

I want to know what he proposed. . . to worship Xenu with human sacrifice? To raise funds for Battlefield Earth 2: The Secret of the Ooze? To "redline her e-meter" in the backseat of a Volkswagen?

I don't get it. She used to be cute, then she got naked, then she got hot, then she got herpes, the she got sketchy, then she turned a little culty.

Oh well. Lost another one.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

Ace, didn't you say the show was cheese and crappers the FIRST time you watched it?

Later,
bbeck

Ray, Isn't it "moldering" instead of "motoring"? That's the point of the song isn't it? Trying to convince the girl to give it up before she gets all old and, you know, moths fly out of there?

Haven't seen this show, but I really like VH-1's Bands Reunited. It's fascinating to see what the band people have been up to. Also helps that they've mostly chosen 80's new wavish bands.

I don't think it's currently in rotation though.

"I hated the song Howard Jones did, but I betcha I can remember all the words to Things Can Only Get Better. Not a difficult trick; the song has like eight words total, and five of them are right there in the title."

Yeah, not too tough - the other three are "whoa whoa whoa-ooo-whoa".

I'll bet that Ace used to do his hair just like Howard Jones, too. If you're too young to remember, just think about lots and lots of mousse and hairspray slicking a huge mane of blonde hair into the world's biggest mullet.

Those were the 80's. Ya' gotta' love 'em.

Posted by: SWLiP on June 17, 2005 05:03 PM

You mean you hate a song about jailbait?

Wait, I can see your point...

Posted by: Chrees on June 17, 2005 05:26 PM

Howard Jones rocked the f'ing show.

Irene Cara SUCKED. Odd how the last performer up always wins. I think it has something to do with the amount of alcohol being consumed by the audience.

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:
spidermanthreatormenace.jpg

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
