Stuck in the 80's

My musical tastes are completely stuck in the 80's.  My friends know this very well about me.  I remember being a 20-something and ragging on baby boomers for their love of the 60's flower power music.  Now, here I am at 45 still singing the praises of a-ha and posting Night Ranger videos on Facebook...

As Dick Clark once famously said - "Music is the soundtrack to your life".  Could not be put any better.  Remember the film "The Last Days of Disco"?  Great film -- Kate Beckinsale and Chloe Sevigny at the absolute top of their game.  In it, the characters lament the passing of the disco era.  Roger Ebert, in his review of the film said that he realized watching it that it was not really the music the characters were lamenting the passing of, but rather youth.  They were all growing up and beginning to face real world problems.  The music simply provided the background soundtrack to their more carefree days.

Not that my teenage and early 20 years in the 80's were exactly carefree.  But still, nothing like a little Charlie Sexton's "Beats So Lonely" to take me back to a time and place...
