I remember when Coca Cola started selling Cherry Coke in 1985. I loved it instantly. I still can’t get enough Cherry Coke. Mmmmmmmmmm……..cherry-syrup-flavored cola.

Creepy…very creepy Amy Grant music video: “It’s Not a Song”
July 10, 2008I have a longstanding war with a good friend of mine. We send mortifying videos back and forth to one another. He apparently didn’t appreciate my dedicating B4-4’s ghastly video for “Get Down” to him, so he responded in kind with this awful video by Amy Grant. It’s got cheesy music (a must for our long-running feud) as well as 1980’s graphics, and a very bizarre concept which features Amy walking through a junkyard late at night while homeless people go all West-Side story on her ass. Naturally, the video concludes with Amy wandering into a retirement home where the residents have terrifying old person masks. Priceless.
You can thank Jon for this. What he had intended for evil…well, I also intend for evil, but towards all of you that read this.
“The Promise” video by When in Rome is your daily dose of the 1980’s.
