I believe the 80s really ended sometime in late 1986. They didn't begin until sometime in 81 or maybe even 82 (Rodney Bingenheimer probably knows for sure) and then in 1986, when Less Than Zero was published and Songs from the Big Chair was released and the Mets won the series and the market crashed, all that needed to be accomplished had been accomplished.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about that particularly fruitful period between 84 and 86 because of a piece of Real Writing I've been working on frantically (or at least frenetically) when I've had any time to spare from work obligations.
Between work and scribbling things down for the writing project, this blog has been pretty neglected. I can't promise that's going to change in the near future, although sometime in the next couple of weeks the frenzied pace at work should calm, at least temporarily. Then I will finally have time to blog about, for example, Adventures in Having High Blood Pressure For a Week, Adventures with Bureaucracy, Why Michael Scott is Right About Human Resources (that one may never be fit to print), and my whole series on Why 3rd Rock From the Sun Was a Better Series Than People Give it Credit For.
In the meantime, in the course of sifting through the gaudier detritus of the 80s, I joyfully rediscovered The Gleaming Spires. And I'd like to share that. This is the video for "are you ready for the sex girls."
