[NOTE: RAMPANT SARCASM CONTAINED WITHIN.] Jim et al, I was born in 1979 and I abhorred the 80s and what my brother and sister wore. So I rebelled by being low-key. For the most part I wear what I did growing up - collared shirts and slacks/jeans. I haven't owned a pair of sneakers since 1989. Still, I would prefer looking at people wearing 80s garb to the so-called "goth" that today's teenagers and 20somethings seem to like. At first I thought it was an architectural fad until I saw people of this sub-culture, apparently trying to imitate albino vampires with badly-spelt tattoos. Call me crazy, but I don't think poking holes in yourself, never taking any sun, and wearing all black with 18-inch platforms is a good way to promote your good self-image, not to mention get a job once your mutilated self gets that Bachelor of General Studies. Next thing I expect to see is a guy decorating his scalp with resin-core solder. Drip, drip, drip ... scrape. But I digress. 1980s music? Hmm, the only good music I remember hearing during the 80s was Dire Straits. Then again my parents listened to the oldies station and classical records. I had to wait until the 80s were over before I started finding some good music from that decade. :) For me it was mostly carry-overs from earlier decades - Rush, Emerson, Lake, & Palmer, Yes, King Crimson, Deep Purple, etc. I'm sure there were some exceptions but I can't remember them. Maybe the Dixie Dregs ... Were they an 80s band? Anyway, I can draw a conclusion from the past thirty years: ugly rock bands make better music. Compare Queen or Yes to the pretty boys of today. No contest. :) I'm off to form an ugly prog-rock band. Tentative name: Doc Hudkins and the Captains of Industry. Any other suggestions?
