I already have a perfect vision of my special day. It’s a little unconventional, sure, but I think if I meet a woman who really loves me, she’ll understand how important it is that my wedding day be magical.

If you’re going to slip in a classic, make it something a little further off the beaten path. If you must include some Journey, go with “Lights.” Avoid “Wheel in the Sky.” I think that’s about Jesus. I can’t say that with one hundred percent certainty, but I’m not going to listen to it to be sure.

The film was far from a classic, but you’d be hard pressed to find anyone age 23-30 who doesn’t have fond memories of the Disney film that spawned an actual NHL team. I recently revisited The Mighty Ducks to see whether it stands the test of time.

The crowd gets excited to hear something familiar in a new way. It’s same way people go crazy at a Dave Matthews Band show when they hear the first few chords of “All Along The Watchtower.” The pleasure of being surprised with something familiar provides the rush of the unexpected without the anxiety of the unknown.

Things that used to be niche cool are becoming jock cool in huge numbers. Batman is pretty big right now. But who’s more of an outcast than Batman? He’s an aloof costume-wearing billionaire with massive psychological scars who can’t stop beating people up.
