747.0. "Cliches To Beat the Band" by EDITEX::MOORE (GetOuttaMyChair) Wed Jun 26 1996 02:44

    
    Cliches.
    
    Before the "Obituaries" note turns into a pun fest, and so I can
    write one last note, how about naming cliches (the more modern,
    the better).
    
    I can speak to that subject.

    	If you are familiar with the song "Strike Zone" by Loverboy,
    	you could comprise a fairly lengthy list of cliches from that
    	song alone.
    
    	"You tell yourself you're not the one,
    	 you won't get hurt when the damage is done.
    	 You tell yourself it wont happen to you,
    	 it's the same old story, nothing new."
