A straight ahead pop song about presidents, cowboys, and pop stars. It's about the power of dreams being in the dreaming, and not so much in the coming true. |

The Association collides with Rick Springfield. Everyone knows it's Windy, years later, with the same can-do attitude and power chords to match. Clear-as-a-bell vocals from Mary with guitar from Ron that is part chime, part chunk, and all pop. |

A break-up song. Inspired by the Muffs "Sad Tomorrow", proudly recalls early Go-Go's with a hint of Blondie. Yeah, it's pop! |
