I’ll set the scene for you…3:30pm yesterday, I walk into my 12th grade English Literature class and overhear the following:
Caitlyn: Oh, God. I could really go for a stomach virus right now.
Brooke: I know!! I’m going to a wedding on Saturday and my dress is so tight you can see my belly button. I think Laurel [...]

As I was driving to work today, an old Bon Jovi song came blaring out of my stereo speakers. (The sad postscript to this statement is I knew every word to the song and found myself singing along.)
“Hair Band” music from the 80s was horrible on a multitude of levels, but the Bon Jovi 1987 chart-topper Never [...]
