Well, it had a simple yet compelling riff. And after I got back from the 
dictionary to look up eminence and figure out what he was talking about, I 
thought, "cool." If there was ever a theme song for LA or Hollywood, this is 
it. "Come and join our party dressed to kill." What a great added refrain, 
if that's what it's called. Of course, the thing that kills me about the 
song is that fact that the guitar solo is at the BEGINNING of the song, not 
in the middle, and not as this grandoise build-up. How fucking 
revolutionary!

I just thing the whole "Crossroads now" thing is a tired, unoriginal theme.
