Supreme YouTube Banter! Candy-O Style!
I say often that I was sick and tired of 1970’s longhairs and their guitars…but then came synths, hungry starving bands on Welfare, and inno-FREAKING-vation.? 80’s New Wave and alternative appealed to something I had no name for, but which I now recognize is my cold, cold silicon heart.
The Cars combined New Wave cool with “spirit of AM radio” accessibility.
And
Since we are reminiscing: I had just started high-school and got invited to a party by some seniors.They played this record ALL night long. I got to drink, I got to make out with a HOT older chick, and I got to “smoke”. I thought to myself “wow, the Cars rock!”. Next morning as I was barfing out all my internal organs into the toilet, I remember thinking.
A) Beer tastes terrible coming out.
B) That chick was actually fugly as hell
C) That might have been oregano.
D) The Cars STILL rock!
