Mid-week and the world is slow. Taliban Dixiecrat Perry is getting better poll ratings than is Obama. Republican candidates duke it out tonight on Ronald Reagan’s hallowed ground. The nation seems to be either flooding or burning. Life drags on.

As MTV proceeded to help destroy what was left of rock-n-roll in the early 80′s, a few bands emerged from the New Wave fiasco that were pretty good. Men At Work was one that I liked and two others were The Police and The Pretenders. All had good front people and Chrissie Hynde was one of the best. Boy George was right cute, too.
There were a few more bands and individuals I listened to despite MTV running them into the ground. Billy Squier was a rebel with a cause and was a good transition from 70′s mainline R&R into the 80′s Glam. I also liked The Clash and a several more bands had good one-hit wonders. Most of the eras groups were born terminally putrid; the one I disliked the most was Human League. I won’t even talk about MJ.

Have a Wednesday, sweet children.
