Weird Journey

No – I’m not talking about a strange trip that I’ve made. I’m referring to the rock band Journey – or more specifically their song “Don’t Stop Believing”.

First some background.

In case the song doesn’t ring a bell (it should because it’s one of the most popular, and overplayed, hits ever), here’s Journey doing the original.

One of the reasons, that I enjoy the song so much is that my oft mentioned favorite local band, JR and Natalie, covers the song. Here’s the band doing part of the song during Penn State’s THON Dance Marathon.

A momentarily detour on the Journey

Having a thing for the song sometimes has an unfortunate side effect. In case you don’t remember, the song was an integral part of the final scene of “The Sopranos”. Unfortunately, it ruined the scene for me, because the whole time that I’m watching it, I can’t help but think of JR and Natalie singing the song. Here’s the scene.

So where’s this Journey headed?

I’m a big fan of using RSS feeds to follow various blogs/websites that I have an interest in. I use Feedly to manage the 113 sites that I subscribe to. Feedly helps present the latest info to me in somewhat of a structured manner without it I’d be lost. I usually check Feedly a couple of times a day to see what’s going on.

As is usual, one of the first things I did this morning was to check Feedly. Low and behold, within minutes of each other, two of the most prolific sites that I follow, Julia Allison’s “Non Society” and John Dvorak’s “Dvorak Uncensored” made posts on two unrelated “Don’t Stop Believing” videos.

I thought that was quite weird.

Follow–up

By the way, both of the videos are worth sharing.

First. Julia posted this video from the new TV show “Glee”.

Then Dvorak posted this hilarious spoof of the song.
