Friday Fun Time. Sorta.

Reader Terrible Terry, whom I understand to be merely a little bit execrable, rather than actually terrible, indicates his disappointment in the conceptual piece immediately below this blog entry, in which I mocking out Twittering as a vapid art form that tends to inspire its practitioners to give us *wayyy* too much information.

Instead, Somewhat Execrable Terry indicates that he comes here on Fridays expecting 80's music videos.

Wow.

I don't know what to say. Except...

Have at it!

There will be a test at the end.










So there you go. Four songs I kinda liked at the time or at least didn't mind (possible exception of that Foreigner song, which was inexplicably a hit). Four songs I'm kinda, sorta embarrassed about having liked. And it raises a question:

Which of these is the most vapid 80's song?
Flock of Seagulls - I Ran (a story about foreign relations problems, I guess)
Human League - Don't You Want Me (total stalker anthem)
Foreigner - I Want to Know What Love Is (did the guys who did Double Vision really make this POS?)
Mr. Mister - Broken Wings (That bird would be stew, if I had my way...)

Okay, and you suffered through all that... might as well give you something other than a headache. If you haven't seen this before... well... then you probably don't know any mountain bikers. Change out "Atlanta" for "D.C." and "SORBA" for "MORE" and it'll be a perfect fit.



Have a nice weekend, all. And get yer butts out to Hyattsville Cross.

Bruno Ganz is the man.
Btw, which trail gets you into DC? I'm thinking of riding to Hyattsville.

Trail? 'Fraid not.

I'd take 193 out of Bowie, to Good Luck Road, then I think you can take the multi-use trail that goes near the College Park Airport, and maybe cross Rt. 1 at 41st Place. Not a joyous route but workable.

GOD! I HATE THAT FOREGNER SON!!! The other 3 are pretty cool. I bet there is a place in hell that plays 'I Want to Know What Love is' over and over, and it is for people who did really bad things.

Chuck, you and I are of one mind about that.

The question is, how could the band that did so many great straight up rock songs have fallen so far? Beats me...
