The Endless Cringe of "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)"
Those keyboards! That voice! That truly terrible video! Bolstered by its appearance on Stranger Things, the Journey hit "Separate Ways" is back in the culture, whether you like it or not. I wrote about the band and their era for MEL.

The Endurance of "Running Up That Hill"
Initially, I wasn't going to write about "Running Up That Hill," figuring that everyone and his mother had already weighed in on the sudden surge of popularity for the Kate Bush song thanks to Stranger Things. But then a thought occurred to me. For MEL, I wrote about how Bush has shied away from the spotlight in recent years, only to see her stature grow during her absence. Hope you enjoy.
