About Me

i’m probably the biggest 80’s music freak you will ever find. i know more about bands from the 80’s than i probably should. my mom use to tell me "if only you would put your mind to something useful". and here i am 2 decades later still as emersed as ever. actually even more so now. back then i didn’t have the resources to fly across country to see some band play. and now it’s easier than ever to keep up with my favorite bands and artist (all thanks to the internet). growing up in america wasn’t easy for someone like myself who was so influenced by european music. mtv was a great tool for finding other artist not yet established on fm radio. a majority of my music collection at the time was considered imports. hard to find...and very expensive. alot was going on in the world then. now when people look back to the 80’s, they tend to think of big hair and happy music. even the movies seemed to be based around this happy theme. but perhaps that was all just a way to escape what was really going on in the world at that time. reagan and gorbachev, the berlin wall, and some new deadly virus called aids. i can’t imagine having to deal with all the stuff we did and not having access to all the great music that was coming out. i would have went insane. i am very greatful for the 80’s and all the musicians and artist that made it a fun time to be a teenager growing up. happy songs like "everybody have fun tonight" (by wang chung) reminding us not to take things so serious and just go out and have a great time. and that’s exactly what the 80’s meant to me...A GREAT TIME!
