On the way to work the other day, I heard the Cheers theme song on the radio (“sometimes you want to go where everybooody knows your naaaaame…”) and was overcome by nostalgia. I didn’t watch Cheers as a kid, but I watched the show that was on right before it (Seinfeld, I think), and always left the TV on so I could hear the theme song.

But for me, it always felt like the song was really about going home, or going back to a simpler time. Because, as the song says, “making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got”.
