It could be worse: David Crosby could be running for Governor of California

You know those really crappy rock 'n' roll songs that you know you shouldn't love, but you do anyway? You know, things like anything from Bat Out of Hell, or Dust in the Wind by Kansas or Having a Party by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, or Goody Two Shoes by Adam Ant or All the Young Dudes by Mott the Hoople?

For that matter, how about Dance With Me or Still the One by Orleans.

Remember Orleans?

Probably not, but you remember the songs, right?

Well, in case tonight's celebration of the 1986 Mets didn't make you feel old enough (and DAMN, who would have guessed that geeky, horsey-faced Danny Heep would turn into a drop-dead gorgeous middle-aged man?), here is the author of those immortal Orleans hits, running for Congress in New York's 19th District.

But don't hold John Hall's catchy, poppy songs against him. He's one of the good guys. Go check him out and show him some love.
