A few weeks ago, I finally heard Europe’s album “The Final Countdown”. Normally, I don’t get the same let’s-laugh-at-it-because-it’s-80s pleasure out of such stuff than a lot of other people I know, but this one caught me by surprise, for it had on it a song called “Ninja”. It was an empassioned plea for the titular character to “survive.”
