A Journey to the Ship Yard

Bill Simmons from ESPN, writes a funny column called "Page 2." It's extremely funny and insightful.

Mr. Simmons included the best Journey video of all time in his recent article. Watch the video right now - I guarentee it will be the best use of 5 minutes of your day.

"Journey -- "Separate Ways"
A recipe for bliss: Take one of the cheesiest-yet-enjoyable bands of that era (Journey), bring them to an empty shipyard, have them play invisible instruments and lip-synch the hell out of their best song, throw in some ridiculous slow-motion closeups and multi-picture edits, and have a hot girl with a bad haircut walking around for no reason whatsoever. And if that's not enough, lead singer Steve Perry gives one of the greatest performances of the last 35 years -- he throws himself into this thing like DeNiro or Pacino. It's incredible. Everything about this slays me. If somebody gave me five minutes to sum up the '80s, I would just show them this video and be done with it."
