What song/video from the 80's is the most 80's?

That Allen Hunter. Man....nice do.
Nina? Was that the short-haired gal or the blonde who got old, really quickly.
Nina Blackwood, that was her name.....

Who was the short-haired gal?

I fap'd to her, too.

Man, I should probably quit posting.

broken image.


BTW, do not google current images of Nina. Martha still looks pleasant, but Nina, well, she has shall we say, aged. As have we all.

Someone's listening.

We could make this happen.

I noticed guys wearing shouldered padded jackets in mine, instrument brands that disappeared in the nineties, I could go on and on.
 
Would it be embarrassing to admit that I had a sleeveless, mesh shirt in the 80s? I believe it was the only one in Idaho Falls, so I was really special!

Martha has short brunette hair in that pic. It got longer not long after. Always had that Mindy from Mork and Mindy, but a little more alt, look. Nina is the blonde. Yes, aged quickly. Martha was honored in "questionable lyrics" by Mojo Nixon. Were there any other kind of lyrics from Mojo though?

We had checkered Vans in '81 before Fast Times came out the next year. One of our high school surf buddies worked at a store (in the mall, naturally) that carried Vans and you could send in materials for custom shoes, so we also had custom pairs with Hawaiian flowers, etc..

Yes, but I had a grey leather thin-tie, that was probably almost as bad.
And a mullet.
And boa-constrictor (white)/kangaroo skin cowboy boots that my dad smuggled over from Mexico and then flew them home.......dude.....no shit.
And I had a couple of bolo's, you know...that you wore around your neck.
Ripped up jeans.
Probably wore a bandana or two....

I looked like Bono meets the Dukes of Hazzard meets David Lee Roth in orgy of douche-dom.

I was a special kind of asshole, trust me.
 
Also, for me, the 80's were clearly two decades in one. I was in undergrad college from '81 - '85, and then in law school. Two really different experiences. And musically, things really changed after '85 too. the checkerboarded Elvis Costello/Clash/new wave two minute song thing gave way to more the more lush sounds of REM, U2's changed and iconic sound of Joshua Tree, ska, the beginnings of grunge that I did not even know about yet, Jane's Addiction, the Peppers, and of course, SRV.

Pretty much right there with you.
when I was 13-15 (and still) it was Led Zep. Taught myself some guitar out of book, and trying to figure out notation. Got a LZ tab book (as well as notation), and the fact that the borrowed POS acoustic with fingertip-bloodying action got me going at all is a miracle.......

So, I tought myself some LZ tunes, saw the Cult's "She Sells Sancutary" and started a band with these other dudes who couldn't play either.

And that poor woman's daughter...........fucking shameful.

Ahhhhh, yes..........the '80's.
