I could go on. <br />I graduated from high school with a guy who went on to become a member of Pearl Jam. We were grunge before grunge happened (jeans, flannel shirts) when I wasn't buying spandex pants, double-wrap studded belts, and animal print shirts. (Hair bands were just coming "in" back then.<br /><br />My dad's assisted living place plays lovely music, but it's all Big Band.

Funny that you think that!<br />The music of the 80's always transports me to summertime, especially that Top Gun soundtrack. The. Best. Music. Ever. <br />Hope your pup is doing okay.<br />I love that you belted out in Starbucks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-86930271794181218662015-08-06T11:42:12.392-05:002015-08-06T11:42:12.392-05:00I just had to comment today because you all are my...I just had to comment today because you all are my people. Sadly though, the Starbucks was probably playing that 90s music ironically because it's considered "the oldies." Punks. <br />You should be proud to have come of age in the 90s. I was an 80s girl myself, and I shutter to look back on the fashion of the day. Neon? Really? Acid washed jeans? <br />Slow Panic -- I had no idea a retirement community enjoyed the musical stylings of Wham. But if they are playing a Bon Jovi cover band on Friday, sign me up and I'll see you there. :) Big hair 4eva!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280081911819968809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-53052502919173148002015-08-01T16:29:10.816-05:002015-08-01T16:29:10.816-05:00Ohmigosh. I love you guys so much.
Patti? I would...Ohmigosh. I love you guys so much.<br /><br />Patti? I would totally love to drag main with you. And for what it's worth? I listened to Heart's cover of "Stairway" four times in a row the other day. I just neeeeeeeded it.<br /><br />Kari? You are a gem.<br /><br />And what is it about getting older that DOES make you want to cry when you think about the past? Because I feel it, too. So bittersweet.<br /><br />Slow Panic? I just ... what? Wham? At a retirement community? I'm alarmed at how oldies stations continue to expand their definition of "oldies" ... but Wham? At a retirement community? Maybe it's a away of marketing to us now, before we'll need a retirement apartment. "Oh, Silver Lakes? That place isn't so bad. I heard they have a Bon Jovi cover band on Friday nights."Becky Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351322716749475996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-15907306560875219642015-08-01T06:52:21.432-05:002015-08-01T06:52:21.432-05:00My mom just moved into a retirement community/apar...My mom just moved into a retirement community/apartment building and they play music in the hallways. Last week they were playing Wham. yes they were. They actually play a lot of music from my past life. Which is kind of nice and disturbing all at the same time.slow panichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806001325853693285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-65057164118388162822015-07-31T08:41:36.995-05:002015-07-31T08:41:36.995-05:00I graduated in 1988 so right on the cusp of the 90...I graduated in 1988 so right on the cusp of the 90's but I loved music of the nineties because that is when I was getting drunk and dancing in the clubs.<br />I mean, if we are being honest here.<br />I was a flannel shirt, clunky shoe wearing girl in the 90's and I may have been known to wear wool sweaters into clubs and get looks from girls wearing skin tight velour dresses.<br />I am a gem.<br />Ahh the days.<br />Think I will go put on the movie Singles and cry.

My friend Sharon got to drive her Dad's new Buick (can't make this stuff up) and we would ride up and down the center of the town listening to the Eagles Hotel California album ( the cassette tape) for hours. Any song from that album makes me want to go cruising. <br />When Stairway to Heaven plays, 35 years later I still feel a little drunk and dizzy because when that song was popular I was busy drinking bootleg Coors (there was no light) and riding around with forbidden older boys. Ahh, good times. Bell bottoms, long hair. So cool. (now, crying over how old I have become)Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336647207100402772noreply@blogger.com
