WHEN THERE'S NOTHING ELSE ON TELEVISION, I WATCH A LOT OF VH-1 CLASSIC: So I'm wondering, because it was on last night: is there a more stirring emotional crescendo in "soft rock" (an oxymoron, to be sure) music history than the ending of Air Supply's "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All"?

To remind you:
I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final clock
And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
And I can make all the stadiums rock

I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
AND I CAN MAKE YOU EVERY PROMISE THAT’S EVER BEEN MADE
ANDICANMAKEALLYOURDEMONSBEGONE!

But I’m never gonna make it without you . . .

Gives you chills, doesn't it?
