It wasn’t necessarily just the men at the station that decided not to play this song. Women probably played their part as well. Anyway, it’s time that this song starts coming off the playlists anyhow, it peaked on the charts nearly a year ago.

Don’t stop believing?

The Royals feel the same way.

That song could be used by any team or person, and even Bill Clinton (his favorite song).

7-1. So much for four games, like some of you have been talking.

Journey is a "San Francisco band," a term that has been around for fifty years.

That song could be used by any team or person, and even Bill Clinton (his favorite song).
