Here's a joke - Why is interrogating a (Mexican)(Arab)(asylum-seeker) like playing billiards? The harder you hit, the more English you get!!! Er...

Well, Ted would've thought it was funny...

I've been accused of not mentioning Styx ever, so here's your surrogate Styx vs. Journey question

Upon arriving home (at 5am) I decided I was going to answer a Dave Q question confidently before going to bed. But I really know fuck-all about Bad English or Damn Yankees. I remember Damn Yankees' hit. I'd probably remember Bad English if I heard it, but not off the top of my head. There's your difference. When examining former-pop- anthems it's really about what we can remember ten years later at 5am half-drunk, isn't it? Just for that, Damn Yankees rock my fucking world right now.

Dressed to kill
She's looking dynamite
In her high-legged stockings and her slippers tonight
I asked her her name
She said her name was Mabel (?)

That's what I remember of the Damn Yankees. I don't know how accurate it is. Was that Ted Nugent + Tommy Shaw? What I remember of Bad English is the video for "When I See You Smile" + the first line of the chorus. That was Neal Schon's band, right? DY have the edge so far.

High Enough is a fucking great song, even though it has Ted "gun-nut" Nugent in it.

hey, i just noticed that Gun Nut and Nugent are near anagrams. I wish that 'e' was a 'u'.
