Can't Stop Loving You

There's a time and place for everything, for everyone
We can push with all our might, but nothing's gonna come
Oh no, nothing's gonna change
-Van Halen

I ran 10 miles today.  One last long run before the R&B 1/2 marathon next weekend.  It was OK.  A couple pieces of business to take care of here today.  First - today is the Super Bowl.  If you have been paying attention, you know that long ago I predicted the brother versus brother Super Bowl.  Or implied a league-wide conspiracy.  And yes, I had the wrong brothers.  Still counts.

And we have reached the end of the 2012/Montreal playlist.  Van Halen's (or Van Hagar's) "Can't Stop Loving You" makes the list.  This band - they just don't look as good in the rear-view mirror.  I remember when I thought of them (with Dave) as untouchable, but in retrospect it all starting falling apart after "Unchained".  Anyway - this song has two great qualities - the "Hey" to start it off and the reference to Ray Charles.  Otherwise I'm not going to defend the pick.  Here's the link and then the complete playlist (in order).
