Had to click through the presets on the little digital radio in the kitchen to see if my wife had mistakenly put on 101 or 106.7 Lite FM. Such is this gag fest.
By far, and it’s not even close, the 80’s were in every way the worst decade of popular music during the 20th century.
Don’t even get me started on the cultural aspects as they regard politics, pop culture, fashion, etc.
Thank god for KCR.

left before the arrests ...
my task was asking the undercover police mingling ("snatch squad") if they were in fact Police..
Technically - they must respond honestly if you ask: "Excuse me, are you an NYPD police officer?" 2 said yes but one got super hostile... I gave him my name but he refused to answer ... I told the uniformed commander that that guy needs to go back to the Academy because he clearly does not know the law ..
Ps ... I gave my real name but, you can give a false name to NYPD, but do not ever lie to Feds (FBI, Secret Service, etc) That is a Federal Offense and can lead to real jail time..

Last month took the train from Madrid to Granada and went to the Sierra to hand deliver a letter to Chris Stewart (1st - super brief) drummer for Genesis ..
The letter as asking him to cal W&B WABAM and tell a wee story about his wee stint...
He is away for some months but will get the letter ... I enclosed 5 euros to cover the cost of the call..
Great early photo in the article:
Chris Stewart takes a sabbatical

I got it slightly wrong: with Phil Collins, hit men are trying to make the stage lights fall on him while he's performing "In the Air" and your character is tasked with protecting him. youtu.be...

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.”

Not all the songs fit on one CD, so there are instructions on the CD booklet on how to download the other two tracks. Only mp3, sadly, as I recall:
Happy Time and Hi Lily, Hi Lo, from June 15, 1968.

Well, we think he's recovered, but we're nervous he has pica or some pica behaviors. So we're nervous and worried and trying to be vigilant all the time about anything he might get ahold of ... but clutter is our natural environment, so it's hard. But we think he's recovered from the trials of last week, at least.
