Late last year my first viewing of Purple Rain turned me into an unironic Prince fan, which is weird because I'm not an unironic anything.
Now it seems that, thanks to Rock Band 2, I'm becoming an unironic Boston fan. You know how some groups can have a bunch of hits ("Something About You," "Rock and Roll Band," "Piece of Mind," "More Than a Feeling") that are really all basically the same song, but it's okay because it's a really good song? Or how all the James Bond movies are essentially interchangeable, but you still know that "Named after your father perhaps?" is what Connery said to Plenty O'Toole in Diamonds Are Forever?
My particular vice, borne of many karaoke highjinks and currently featured on my streaming playlist.com playlist, is the prolific Journey - I never realized how many of their songs I knew by heart until I met another un-closeted fan who insisted on youtubing Arnel Pineda and I noticed that I knew every damn song he was singing. Yes, fear not - Journey has a NEW LEAD SINGER and they're on tour this year. Further inspired by Baseketball, we started up a Lynch's Irish Pub drunken-trivia team named Steve Perry (bc it's an automatic Journey psych-out for other teams).
