Getting weak…walls...closing...in

Gasp, gasp.

I’ve just escaped from an enclosed area where I was subjected to an “80s nooner” radio program. I could flee neither Love is a Battlefield nor The Conga.

The horror, the horror.

Why must I live in a world where THAT is considered 80s music? Isn’t 80s music whatever you were listening to in the 1980s? Why does it HAVE to be about Huey Lewis.

This is 80s music for me:
Late Clash
Early REM (i.e. when they were good)
The Replacements
and
of course
of course
The Pogues

Why must I live in a world where none of these bands is ever to be heard on an “80s nooner” radio program?

And, can you tell I hate the word “nooner”? Grrr. I’m a Crabby Patty right now.
