Night Ranger

Sister Christian, oh the time has come

And you know that you're the only one to say, OK

Where you goin', what you looking for

You know those boys don't want to play no more with you

It's true

[Refrain]

You're motoring

What's your price for flight

In finding Mister Right

You'll be all right tonight

Babe, you know you're growing up so fast

And momma's worrying that you won't last to say, let's play

Sister Christian, there's so much in life

Don't you give it up before your time is due

It's true, it's true, yeah

You're motoring

What's your price for flight

You've got him in your sights

And driving through the night

[Refrain thrice]

Sister Christian, oh the time has come

And you know that you're the only one to say, OK

But you're motoring

Yeah, motoring

I always wondered what they were saying during the chorus. I thought it sounded like "motoring" but I though, "That can't be right... it doesn't make any sense!"

Sure enough....

:eye:

The first concert I ever saw was KISS when I was 13, and Night Ranger opened. So technically, ugh, Night Ranger was the first band I ever saw live....I have to throw up now.

The drummer was situated front stage right and sideways so when he turned to sing, he was looking at the crowd. It was the last original tour of KISS before they took their make up off. I didn't know Ace Frehley wasn't there. It was Vinny Vincent. I saw them in 1996, very glad to have seen them.

Anyway, Night Ranger, blah!

Night Ranger epitomizes my eldest brother Tom's favorite music. All 80s metal, all the time at his house! I heard it a whole lot growing up and must admit to liking some of it.

I've got another brother who strictly likes 80s alternative. Why they close themselves into that one time frame/one genre is a mystery to me. :unsure:

Oh good Lord...

From a fellow at the Tape Op message board:

That fuckassedly bad painting of him on the horse was done by his WIFE. Knock me over with a goddamn feather on THAT one. He lives near me in Petaluma, CA (or used to about eight years ago) and there was this friend-of-a-friend that had been inside his lovely McMansion. Apparently the place was fairly riddled with lo-grade wife-art featuring Mr. Watson in various depictions of Boris Vallejo-esque gallantry. The solo album cover art was featured el-grande in the entry foyer or what have you.
