hairband

A type of hard rock band from the 1980s made up of musicians who wore strange leather clothing, ripped jeans, and had tall blowdried womanly hair (often blond). These bands played hard rocking music with fast guitar solos, but also sang love ballads. Hairband music was heavy but it was produced with such a glossy sheen that it wasn't too hard on the ears. Hairbands died around 1990, and some would say they ere killed by Kurt Cobain and grunge.

Winger was a classic hairband.

don cherry

Don Cherry is currently the most well-known hockey commentator in Canada. He discusses hockey issues with sidekick Ron MacLean every Saturday night after the first period of the first game shown on Hockey Night in Canada on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Cherry played one single game in the National Hockey League (NHL), but spent many years in the minor leagues. He was more successful as a coach, leading the Boston Bruins in the 1970s. As a CBC commentator he has been extremely controversial, calling Europeans and French Canadian players chickens and wimps. Cherry hosted an interview-syle TV show in the 1980s called Don Cherry's Grapevine, which spawned similarly named bars across Ontario.

Don Cherry is a tough talkin' old man.

let's be friends

What a woman often says after a man has expressed his true love for her. It's a polite way for a woman to say "I don't like you".
She doesn't want to remain friends -- it's just a throwaway line to make the guy feel a bit better than a piece of shit.

John: Cathy, do you love me as much as I love you?
Cathy: John, let's just be friends.
John: OK, that means I will have to kill myself.
