Widget Hopes To Save Pandora, Internet Radio

Can ailing internet radio service Pandora be saved by a widget? That's what I <3 Pandora is hoping, as the new site pleas to "keep the music on" by having people add their widget to keep internet radio from the brink of extinction by raising awareness and support. While Pandora's woes have less to do with awareness and more to do with outrageous royalty fees, at least the widget brings some attention the government's targeting of internet radio. We expect a Save Muxtape widget any day now.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
