HS class of '79, but my heart is with 80s music. The 70s was a lumbering mess of pop music IMHO. New Wave's irresistible freshness was like Elvis & Big Bopper must have been--a renewing tide of glorious sound, feeling, & fun. I will die on this hill.

Michael Hutchence was the best lead singer ever. Anyone who disagrees is wrong. He had everything - generosity, charisma, beauty, talent and brains. My modern candidates - Matty Healy, Matt Berninger, Grian Chatten, Kele Okereke - close, but just not quite there.

What an opener! In 1985 I worked in London for a while for a company that produced American football and other sports programs for British TV. Adam Ant's secretary had her office on the same floor and he'd walk through our reception once in a while, dressed like he was on stage ...
