Adam Magazine on the Crazy Years

Looting, killing and raping -- by twisting their words they call it "empire"; and wherever they have created a wilderness they call it "peace" -- Tacitus

More on the 80's

A visitor named AugMendoza comments:

Hey Adam! How about Flock of Seagulls, Vans checkerboard shoes, "jelly" sandals, all things neon-colored, skinny ties, Miami-Vice-esque menswear, etc. I'm not sure I am up for that trip down memory lane, burn it all - start the bonfire (of vanities, that is!)

It all comes flooding back so painfully. Here's more 80's stuff that should be burned and their ashes scattered to the four winds:

Don Johnson style stubble.
Don Johnson.
All those John Hughes movies (except Planes, Trains and Automobiles)
All of Saturday Night Live after the original cast left. even the funny ones with Eddie Murphy. (Except, when Charles Rocket said "Fuck")
Who Shot J.R.
Valley Girls and "Valley Girl."
The K-Car.
Lee Iacocca as American hero.
The Greatest American Hero. (Of course there's an unofficial homepage.)
Just about everything on MTV, but not the idea of MTV itself.
