are we so old yet?

VH1 is showing 80s videos. Skid Row, "I Remember You" and these things I watched ages ago. Right now it's Faith No More, "Epic." Hah. My amusement knows no bounds. I'd forgotten just how wacky some of this stuff was. Melynda's singing along and Sam wants to see an old Metallica video.

I can still feel that younger version of me. How we watched all this for the first time at Tracy's house, for hours at a time.

Young Bono. With that hair. Good god.

There's a lot I could be writing about here. I'll save it for later, when I can put it all back together in some vaguely coherrent verbal manner.

Oh. My. "Paradise City." Guns N Roses, my first random pop culture obsession. Gods, I thought all those guys were so hot when I was twelve. I still kinda do, looking at them. Eesh. I suppose I should not be ashamed of my dorkiness, but hell when you tell people things like that, they look at you rather funny. Damn it. I don't give a damn. Damn.

I remember listening to Guns N Roses recently and being surprised at how talented they were. I'd sortof dismissed them for a while, but they were pretty amazing.

They had a great sound. For all the assorted evil habits and other things, they were very much a part of the sound of the time.

"Don't Cry" remains one of my favorite songs.

Good god indeed!
Bono was my second musician crush (after Bowie). Third if you count Joan Baez when I was a little kid, I guess.

Apparently this is a regular thing. Eee. I think I will just watch music videos while I persuse the classfieds in search of a job that does not involve food in any way. Except for being a restaraunt critic.

Bono is very cute. Even with that bad haircut.
