I'm not sure what triggered Richard Marx's 1987 hit, "Don't Mean Nothing," to lodge itself in my mind tonight. Soft rock stations played it frequently when it was a hit, but I don't hear it often today. I'm not sure if I'm responding to the lyrics subconsciously about thinking in bottom line terms and not trusting anyone too easily. Most likely, I'm just trying to stay alert by thinking of the tune's assertive rhythm.
