Reality Check by Dave Whamond for December 30, 2021

Starship. Good song.

When did San Francisco change its name to Funky City?

Funky City, eh? It’s called building.

I remember being young.

Yes, I know they’re lip synching.

Lol! Good one!

…love these references!

They missed the last train to Clarksville.

DISCO SUCKS !!!

Don’t you remember?

Next time they come back, their city is gone.

I thought they were told to “go west” to San Diego and join the navy.

What no one comments about taking The Midnight Train to Georgia?

As for Funky Town, it’s an infinitely better song that We Built This City.

Another one of those songs with limited amount of lyrics – “but it’s got a good beat and you can dance to it”. :)

And the hits just keep on comin’.

Ok, I’ll say it … Cleveland …! (Oz ?)

Some feel that once you start quoting Starship, the funkiness is lost.

According to Journey, that midnight train goes anywhere.

Just give them directions to the Y M C A, they love staying there.

Best of all: Wilbert Harrison’s “Goin’ to Kansas City”.

Well, being a Fool for the City, riding around in my Little Deuce Coupe, I had More than a Feeling that I was just Another Brick in the Wall. But I decided to Carry on my Wayward Son and found an American Girl. She said Walk this Way, You Make Loving Fun. I Heard it Though the Grapevine she thought I was a Magic Man, so we had a White Wedding and we’ve had Good Times, Bad Times. Sometimes we’re just Dancing in the Dark, but we Don’t Stop BelievIn’. Turns out All You Need is Love!

Better than pulling into Nazareth, feeling ’bout half past dead.

Me? I guess the Lord must be in New York City.

Happy New Year to all, from someone who’ll stand by his window and look down on roads—Brooklyn roads.
