I miss the era when Prince wasn’t a symbol, when Michael Jackson was black and so was Peter Gabriels hair, when spandex, hairspray and make up was worn by just as many men than women, when we could still see Bono’s eyes, when we were told to “choose life” and “relax don’t do it”, when drums where loud and colours where even louder, those were the days when we were “walking on sunshine” when Madonna was a virgin……er. I’m talking about the 80’s, that era that could not have existed if not for the drum machine and the synthesizer, Disco was dead and so was punk but glam rock was still thriving as was heavy metal, ska, power ballads and the radio waves were peppered with one hit wonders, Duran Duran were kings and Culture Club were queens! Hip-hop was exciting and Breakdancing was a fad, HAA! If I could only listen to one era of music it would definitely be the 80’s, now where did I put my Rubics Cube?
