Knee Deep in the Hoopla

I probably hated this popular 80's song as much if not more than any other popular song of the 80's that went all the way to #1. That would explain why this is the first time in 4+ years of posting that I've posted the song and video. First off the band started off as Jefferson Airplane, then they were Jefferson Starship, and then after much court wrangling they were eventually just Starship. That's confusing enough. Like I've said many times before in here, I don't discriminate just because I don't like the song or video. Anyway, if you happen to like this song or video, I hope you enjoy this stupid song and this stupid video. It's "We Built This City"...
