The ‘90s were great! Do you believe in life after love?

Well, I’m on my second glass of wine and watching "Brothers and Sisters" - the crappy, but o’ so addictive show on ABC, and one of the characters is singing Cher. Typical and annoying primetime, right? Well, no. I’m sort of getting the Cher tune "Believe" for the first time. Actually, that’s not true. It was the other day when my intern approached my desk for her usual 3:45pm convo at work. She started going on about how "Will and Grace" was her favorite show. And I was like, WHOA – is it 1998? Then she corrected me by saying, “No. It’s w-h-h-o-o-o-a, like awesome” and busted into laughter. See friends, apparently the night before, the historic 2000 episode when Cher and Jack run into eachother at a cafĂ© was on. And it changed my interns world. So, I started thinking about that song (Believe) and really listened to the words. The last time I had even thought of the song was when I was 16 and rocking out to it in my ’88 Toyota corolla station wagon – gray. And I’ve always thought the words were, “do you believe in life after love? I can feel something inside me say I really don’t think I’m strong enough. W-h-o-o-a.” BUT – ALERT - THOSE AREN’T THE WORDS. She is being a huge bitch in the song and it is awesome. Strong woman. Point being, all of my readers (the one, Jessica) should go back and listen to that song. It’s amazing. She is amazing. And perfect for dancing alone to it with my third glass. FIN.
