i was listening to cheezy 80s pop music on the soundtrack to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and i discovered the song "Hold the Line" by Toto. if there was a holy grail for power ballads that can totally wail, this would be it. whenever it plays, you have to shake your fist vigorously and act as though you are playing an enormous purple axe. if you are endowed with an active enough imagination, you can imagine a lot of neon strobe lights and girls with big, jersey hair mouthing the words to your song. they never do it right, but god bless 'em for trying. after the show, you turn to your manager, who despite being from detroit has a liverpool accent, and say, "that's how you rock and roll niles."
man, i miss the 80s.
