One time when we were in university, my friend Gord turned to me and and said, “Corey Hart does not have a new album right now.” And we were like, “Um…what?” And he explained, “There is no new album by Corey Hart at this time. We are not hearing him on the radio, we don’t see his posters around campus, we don’t see him on TV, no one is humming his tunes in the hallways.” Then he suggested that we take a moment to appreciate this fact while we still could, because soon, he would have a new album, and we’d be like, “Doh, why didn’t we appreciate our non-Corey-Hart status while we still could?”

So since then, the appreciation of a non-event is called a Corey Hart Moment. Like this morning, for example, Sir Monkeypants was pointing out that he doesn’t actually have any mosquito bites right now — a Corey Hart Moment. And the other day, MyFriendJen was saying that her young son, for once, doesn’t have an ear infection — another Corey Hart Moment. And Juliette Lewis does not have a new movie coming out — Corey Hart Moment for me!

Also…Corey Hart does not currently have a new album.
