I just flipped over to VH1 for some reason, probably because I didn't get into a good college, and Steve Perry's Oh, Sherrie was on. For some reason that song has a Sister Christian-esque quality to it; both in the look, the sound, and I guess it was out at the same time, tweaking my Wonder Years-esque nostalgia for 7th grade along with now knowing that one day I'll be nostalgic about the day I used the -esque suffix twice in the same sentence. I am the Suffix Ninja!
But I must say. Anyone else surprised this was his only hit? I mean, whaterver you wanna say about Journey, they pumped out some massive hits, and then his first try outta the gate solo he hits a home run. And then nothing. Strange.
Also strange? As I was thinking about all this, I stumbled up this graph.
Whack, bro.
Oh, and just in case I'm not bawling enough since I'm also watching Beautiful Girls right now for the 19000th time, here's Sister Christian.

Is there any way Bielanko doesn't absolutely kill it with a jangly banjo-filled cover of "Oh, Sherry"? Get on it, fella.
