Oh, the 80's just make me laugh.

I'm listening to 1st Wave on XMRadio "Classic Alternative", or so they say. Typically I love it, but every now and then something comes on that reminds me of just how PRETENTIOUS we all were in the 80s.

We took ourselves so seriously: making (and living in) shanty towns to protest apartheid, standing up for AIDS research, insisting that housekeepers be paid a living wage (or at least that's what we did at my college).

But then we listened to bands like Kajagoogoo.

OK, so:

• Silly Name
• Silly Lyrics (You're too shy shy, hush hush, eye-to-eye (which, yeah, I always heard as Idlewild)
• OMG, the HAIR!

And just look at how serious THEY were! LOL!! If you can be that serious wearing those clothes and that hair, there is just something wrong.

I'm just sayin'...
