1. Imagine this moment: Remixes. Perfect weather. Driving the perfect road. In a jeep. Top down. On Saturday with nowhere to be, nothing to do.
2. The singability of the phrase 'Do you believe in life after love?'
2 1/2. Then add in: 'I know that I'll get through this, 'cause I know that I am strong.' It's a dose of empowerment when you may not have the strength to believe in yourself, your self-worth, your ability to keep on going. When you can't find the courage to face what the day brings or what tomorrow looks like, Cher can help.
3. Endurability. She's had popular music in every decade since the 60's. She just keeps on going.
4. To Nicholas Cage in _Moonstruck_: 'SNAP OUT OF IT!'
5. The weirdness of her delivering Sonny Bono's eulogy and completely breaking down.
5 1/2 The weirdness of her singing Bono's song "Where The Streets Have No Name."
6. The moment in _Mask_ when she tells the doctor off.
7. Her explanation of the visual extravagance of her last tour. 'You know, if we didn't do all this, drag queens all over America would be aghast. "Girl, she has lost it. There were no costume changes, there were no sequins..."' And then she told off all the teen pop stars: 'Follow this, b******.'
8. It is just pop music and good for a moment, probably not important, but it's jolly good fun for a second.
9. It's good breakup music. You suck. You treat me badly. I'm too good for you. I'm outta here.
10. It is character-building to like the work of someone who everyone else despises. Builds loyalty.
11. Provides everyone ideas for Christmas presents for you. 'Hey, I found this "beautiful" t-shirt for you on ebay...I hope you love it and that I'm enabling your obsession.'
