Clark Is Unelectable. His Favorite Band Is Journey?

[KittyWampus]

Daily Show just did a bit. Made me laugh. I feel better now.

But Journey????? :wtf:

[Jack_Dawson]

1. "Don't Stop - Believin"

Journey RULES - it was my first concert - Loverboy opened. At the Cow Palace - San Francisco.

Reminder:

He is FIFTY-NINE (59) years old. If I asked any other 59 year-olds what their favourite band was, I would be likely to hear Sha-Na-Na.

[KittyWampus]

4. My first Band Was The Grateful Dead

and I actually sat in my seat :D

[poopyjr]

6. Clark probably still thinks Journey is around and popular

He thinks by saying "Journey" as his favorite band, he'll win over younger voters!!! :):)

[Clark Can WIN]

Nice try, but Clark listens to OutKast too.........

[poopyjr]

18. I'm just messing <nm>

[Jack_Dawson]

23. LMAO!!! That picture RULEZ!!!

[Clark Can WIN]

56. Uhhhhhhhh thankyouverymuch

I love it too.

[Crunchy Frog]

47. Actually,

he has said that his favorite is Buddy Holly.

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Egads!

I certainly hope not! If so, my candidate is soooo uncool! :P

[poopyjr]

3. LOL agreed

Why not CCR or Allman Bros?

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

5. Clark needs to prove he actually has a soul

Journey? Someone please fire this man's campaign staff! This is worse than Gephardt's endorsement by Michael Bolton!

[MIMStigator]

8. It wasn't a campaign staff answer

!

[mmonk]

9. nah

[mikehiggins]

7. I thought it was U2

I could swear I heard Beautiful Day playing in the background after the town hall.

[arewethereyet]

12. I doubt he picks that stuff out

n/t

[LTR]

34. I heard on the contrary

Though I thought he picked out "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" as his theme song.

No link, saw it on the Clark site a few days ago.

[The Magistrate]

10. That Might Make Things Difficult...

Violent Femmes would be far preferable. Still, it could have been Kansas, or Grand Funk Railroad; we must look on the bright side of life....

[KittyWampus]

14. We're Am American Band......................

[hellhathnofury]

11. Ewwww.....with musical tastes like that god help us if he get's the nomin.

The convention soundtrack will be lethal.

[Ramsey]

13. Well, they're not David Bowie

But Steve Perry can sing the shit out of a song!

[KittyWampus]

16. Music For Weddings

:)

[MariaS]

15. He also mentioned

in an early campaign interview that he was a fan of the Stones & the who. I think he is just eclectic in his musical tastes.

[Clark Can WIN]

20. gratutious repeat post here

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3656672850&category=39721

VERY Eclectic

[Catch22Dem]

22. Good gawd...eclectic???

You should see my CD/LP collection. Eclectic doesn't even begin to describe my tastes. LOL!!!

[Leilani]

54. First time I read about music & Clark

he said he liked the Doors & the Stones.

That's classic, just like Wes.

[neverforget]

17. I wish it was Van Halen's "Right Now"

because Right Now we need to kick Bush's ass right out of the White House!

[madrchsod]

19. ok if this is true

he`s off my list. journey? god that an awful band-but they are better than styx

[MariaS]

24. Styx

makes my ears bleed.:hurts:

[Clark Can WIN]

26. How about YES

NO.

[MariaS]

27. No to Yes

[Clark Can WIN]

58. Yes absolutely

No

[BootinUp]

69. Yes I'm confused :) n/t

[Forkboy]

21. Well then he has my wife's vote

She loves Journey.You'd think listening to my bands,like Pig Destroyer and The Melvins,would sway her but no such luck :)

[LuminousX]

25. Dear God, and I thought I hated him for purely personal reasons

[ajacobson]

28. Journey - a surprise

I always saw the General as more of a Black Flag or Butthole Surfers type of guy...punk before it sold out to the Man.

</sarcasm>

[Pax Argent]

29. What's wrong with that!?!

I wish I had a dime for all the times I made love to their softer stuff, but that was many moon ago, and dimes were worth a lot more back then......

[Fleshdancer]

42. Please do us all a favor and don't repeat what you just said.

Making love to Journey is not something to brag about.

[snyttri]

30. He's unelectable because he wears sweaters in winter.

[JI7]

31. was it a joke or is it true ?

this really has me laughing.

[VolcanoJen]

32. If we were going by fave albums alone, I'd be a Kerry girl.

He picked "Abbey Road."

I must admit to cringing when Stewart said Clark was a Journey fan.

:-(

;-)

[minkyboodle]

33. Trashing Journey

BUT everyone secretly likes at least two Journey tunes.............
Mine "Don't Stop Believin" and "Wheel in the Sky"
so sue me :)
SCott

[jonnyblitz]

38. ummm...everyone does NOT secretly love at least two.

Jesus FUCKING christ!! :puke: :puke: :puke:

[minkyboodle]

41. LOL

three pukes was that necessary?? don't get me wrong (check the avator) but I still say steve perry was strangely hypnotic in a weird kind of way.... lol I need to go to bed
Scott

[paulk]

46. "Wheel in the Sky" was a great song!

I'm embarrassed to admit...

[Raine]

49. "Lovin, Touching & Squeezing"...

I like that one! :loveya:

[Guaranteed]

65. "Faithfully"- AWESOME

You're not allowed to not like that song.

[Cocoa]

35. this shows confidence

admittig he likes Journey is braver than anything he did in Vietnam.

[minkyboodle]

36. LOL

crackin me up.
Scott

[MiniMoog]

39. *Smacking Clark*

SNAP OUT OF IT!!!

I heard this Journey confession a few days back.

I'm still trembling uncontrolably.

Diplomacy requires some things are better left a mystery.

MiniMoog

[askew]

37. My respect for the General just keeps on growing.

Not very many men would admit that Journey is their favorite band. Though I did know a guy in college who would only have sex to Journey. If the General had said Air Supply was his favorite band, I may have changed candidates. Air Supply is the best cheesy 80s band.

[Fleshdancer]

44. AAAGHH! NO more sex to Journey posts!!!! PLEASE!

this is the second sex to Journey post I've read in this thread and it's going to give me nightmares.

[Fleshdancer]

40. Journey???

That's not exactly the music that comes to mind when I think of a four star general.

[minkyboodle]

43. I vote this

best thread of the night for anyone wishing to forget how shitty the debates were tonight. GOODNIGHT SPRINGDOM THERE WILL BE NO ENCORE!!!!
SCott

[Forkboy]

45. I'm holding out for the candidate who lists

NoMeansNo as their favorite.That person has a lock on my vote!

[Loren645]

48. :) Jon Steward had fun with that on The Daily Show.

Wes is tragically unhip in this regard.

I love him in spite of it.

[tigerbeat]

50. i got nothing against journey....

.....but picking the GREATEST HITS as his favorite album is such a complete puss-out! embrace journey man!!!! ESCAPE is a perfectly decent album!!! at least in that early 80s, we'll soon be a video game way.

greatest hits albums are the biggest cop-out in musical history. i dig clark. but this might be a deal-breaker for me :)

[KittyWampus]

55. Yes, Wes Must Embrace His Journey-ness

[isbister]

51. Didn't just about everthing Journey put out

climb to the top of the charts?

[Bucky]

53. I'm a rabid Clark supporter, and frankly,

Journey stinks. We used to call them REO-Styx-Journey-Wagon. But really they were more like Christopher Cross with a boner. And as long as I'm fessing up, I also hate Clark bars, Cheetos, and the anti-flag-burning amendment.

But Outkast is pretty cool.

[maxr4clark]

52. Who would you prefer?

Elvis? Michael Jackson? Madonna?

...oh, so that's what they were looking for. Now I get it.

:think:

[kerryistheanswer]

57. Sorry but Journey is lame

I know that its no way to elect a president, but I'm a music snob and Journey is painful. Extremely painful

[Clark Can WIN]

60. Dued

it is a joke. John Stewart is an entertainer . MmmKay?

The point is how FRIVOLOUS some of the crap is the media goes on about the candidates.

[BootinUp]

59. I stand with Clark - If you hate Journey DO NOT READ :)

My favorite band is Van Halen, but Journey of the late 70's is my number two (thats before they got too silly folks).

Wheel in the Sky
Lovin Touchin Sqeezein
City by the bay ? (not sure about title)

basically the first 3 albums rocked.

So you go General!

:evilgrin:

[xultar]

61. What about OutKast? I guess he Flipped and Flopped that 2 n/t

[West Coast Democrat]

62. He didn't say Styx

so I'm ok w/ that answer.

[John_H]

63. he means OLD Journey . When they rocked! Shit, there really is

no way to spin that. Shut up, General!

[AntiCoup2K4]

64. Clark's a Journey fan? Well now that all depends....

..If he stopped listening to them after Jonathan Cain ruined the band, I might still vote for him (if he were the nominee) :evilgrin:

[Kathleen04]

66. That made me laugh too..

if I was going to vote based on favorite album, I'd be voting for Kerry..Abbey Road is just cool. ;)

[Rich Hunt]

67. c'mon

C'mon, that's endearing. It's so cornball.

[Touchdown]

68. I guess I would be unelectable too.

My favorite is Oingo Boingo. But hey, if I'm a panderer, then my theme could be "Who do you want to be Today?". ;-)

[TexasPatriot]

70. If Clark wins...

will there be a Journey reunion at the inauguration ball?

God - i hope not... that would not qualify as making America better.
