We were trapped
caught in that horrific purgatory for night owls
captivated before paid programming
That guy that once sang for that marginally successful band
and that woman that...
appeared to have some connection with what they were talking about
convincing us that the power rock ballads of the 70s and 80s
were the absolute apex of human creativity
more and more so with each successive loop
(Whitesnake and Night Ranger in the same collection you say?)
Transfixed
and Dazzled
by the nostalgia of a youth that...
wasn’t...really ours...ever
But nonetheless titillated
and tantalized
they mean the same thing
by the rolling credits
by a series of endless promotional clips from yesteryear
unearthed for this
sewn together in a rock-ous montage
of hair
light headbanging
emphatic fist-pumping
and a meticulously edited orchestration
of cacophonic climax
Yes, we could pay the $119.96 for all 9 discs in the collection
That would be better than the infomercial how...?
