"Blue days, black nights" -- an inspiration for Freedy Johnston and a VHM from me.

Inspired by RGMike's thread about Gwen Stefani's "Rich Girl"?

I'd like to give this BOS but I still think of Nina Simone's cover when I hear it.  In hindsight, this just doesn't sound like a #1 hit to me.  Ah, chart perfidy ...

Is "Point of Know Return" about Jesus' second coming?

I predict RGMike is giving Ram Jam his BOS vote.

Psychic Gaz strikes again... Yeah, BOS2. She's SO rock steady, and she's always ready.

Funny, I predicted it would be one the first time I heard it. Not just because I liked it but because they were primed (by the 2nd-time-around success of "She's Gone" on their previous label) for something major and RCA would've looked really stupid had "Rich Girl" not gone the distance.

I think alot of their stuff had Christian undertones ("He Knew" also seems to be about JC).
