last exit for the lost

A few years ago I remember discussing the song "Send Me An Angel" with my ex-wife. She had it on a compilation CD that she had made. I asked her who the artist was because I like the song and I couldn't remember who performed it. She said she didn't know. I said that I thought it sounded like the guy from the scorpions. It didn't really sound like a Scorpions' song, but the vocalist sounded just like him to me. I soon forgot about it. The other day I was listening to my Pandora station and the song came on. I immediately clicked over to the tab it was playing on so I could see who actually performs the song. It turned out to be Real Life. I still thought it sounded like the guy from the Scorpions...maybe a side project or something? So, I turned to where everyone turns when they want to research anything about anyone...Google of course! I typed in the name of the song as well as the name of the artists in question. I figured this would dig up any obscure information about the subject. I must admit that I was a little surprised at what I discovered. Though the Scorpions seem to have had absolutely nothing to do with this song, they do in fact have a song with the same title. What are the odds?! Apparently, however, I am not the only one who has been plagued by this conundrum (I'm not sure if it's technically a conundrum, but it's pretty damn close!). I came across another blog (SeanS' The Basement) that addresses this very issue. To make the whole scenario even more odd to me is that this other blogger seems to be nearly right in my backyard. And, he claims to have started thinking about this while driving through Wisconsin which is where I was when the issue came up for me. It all just seems very odd. Pointless. Useless. But odd none-the-less.
