Journey is "Beastly"!

"Beastly" is how Jake described the "80's" rock band Journey. As I mentioned the other day, he attended the concert with three other friends and two 40 something moms. Saturday evening at approximately 10:45 pm est my phone rang. I was in the middle of dozing and watching the Michael Phelps win the Gold in the 400 IM. It was Jake on the other end at trying to speak over "Send Her My Love". "Listen mom......can you hear it? Aren't they 'beastly'?" Of course I have always loved Journey, but Jake wasn't too "in" to my renditions of "Open Arms"," Faithfully", and "Don't Stop Believing" two days before when we were downloading it on his Ipod. But at that moment, I think he may have understood what his "lame mom" had been telling him. For the next 1/2 hour or so, he held his phone up so that I could hear those songs that took me back to my teenage years. From the reaction of the crowd, they must still have it. It does a 40 year old mom's heart good to know that she actually can be right about something in her 13 year old's eyes.
