Ahh I miss the 80s ...

" ... my ambivalent attitude to that narrow strip of the 1980s, after post-punk but before dance, that held my teenage years. We had the worst of 80s excess - truly terrible clothes, the high watermark of Thatcherism, Reagan, Aids, the miner's strike, the Style Council and the Alarm. But we also had the Smiths - so there."

This Charming Shrine, Will Woodward in the Guardian

Ahhh the Eighties, I remember the Eighties.

I remember when I first met you.

Somewhere, sometime in the mid eighties a long time before we rose up slowly. A long time before the phenomenon.
