Prayer ’16
Rather than talk about what’s causing tonight’s insomnia, I’ll just use this moment of silence to honor the fact that Bon Jovi released their first single “Runaway” 32 years ago.
Tonight I was driving home with the sunroof open (60 degrees out and six layers of clothes on) and rocking out to “Livin’ on a Prayer” on the classic rock station.
And I had that moment where I was like, whoa.
When the song came out in ’86, I was a pre-teen in Pittsburgh.
Who knew that I’d be 40-something, jamming in my car on a Florida interstate to that very song?
Still halfway there. Still Livin’ on a prayer. Still hot for Jon. Still Gina, dreaming of running away.
What a difference 30 years doesn’t make.
