I was just telling a friend and fellow music fan that for me one of the most exciting periods of music was from 1979 to 1981. Punk and Disco had a baby and out popped dance music with a punk aesthetic. In its purest and most genuine form you got Blondie, The Cars, and The Talking Heads. Sure, most of it was mindless pop music but that isn't such a bad thing now is it? I'll even site the likes of Duran Duran who made an impressive stab at combining Bowie glam and R&B till they became 80s pinup boys and lost the formula. In fact, I'd like to think that most of the 80s pop music scene never happened. The best stuff was underground for the most part. But that's a whole other can of worms.

About Me
- iamwilliam
- Born in Southern Illinois a long time ago. A dad, artist of sorts and teacher. Enjoy being dad, art, friends, home, dry humor, family, traveling, learning about completely useless stuff, snow, thunderstorms, being single, alone time, peanut butter, ITALIAN FOOD, punk rock, learning completely useless stuff, a morning cup of coffee, growing old gracefully, being liberal and pissing off right wingers. I do not enjoy deadlines, turtlenecks, objects that are BIG and loud, , sleepwalking, tanning beds, Broadway musicals, urban sprawl, auto tune vocal stylings, the sound of high heels on a hard wood/tile floor, and people who take every opportunity behind the wheel of a car to act out their favorite chase scene from The Dukes of Hazzard. Personal heroes include Jo Frost the Super Nanny, Jimmy Carter, and my grandfathers.
