Here's to Hooks.

Tea: Assam with Ginger.

Music: Ace Frehley, "New York Groove"

Time: Night.

I had this song -- heck, the whole LP (remember those?) -- back in high school. (And yeah, I had the Ace poster with the smoking guitar on my headboard. Drove my parents crazy.)

Been years since I heard it, though. Until tonight, when I looked it up on (surprise!) YouTube. And there it was, in all its Russ Ballard-penned cheesy glory.

Timeless classic? Maybe not. Got to admit, though, that opening hook's a killer. And if you can hook 'em up front, you can make 'em sing along with just about anything.
